The First and Last Mustangs
I was out driving around both of my cars today and thought I would post a couple of pics. I now have the first model year Mustang, and the last model year Mustang in my garage. 
My 1965 is about unit number 644 something thousand of the one million Mustangs built in the first year of production. It's not what people call a 1964 1/2 Mustang, but it was built in the 1965 model year.

You must have long arms and legs to have been able to drive both Mustangs today, that would be the great pic to see...
Now, if you had driven EACH of your Mustangs today then it wouldn't be such a extraordinary deal...

That's awesome. I love that they're both red/red. I wish Ford offered a true notcback coupe style, alongside a true hatchback "fastback" style again. Maybe in 2014?

Oh man, that's nifty! Sweet pics.
Hehe, but dang it, those '65s had really crummy cupholders. And I've never been able to find the USB port in them. The navigation system was a joke. They gave you a a large paper thing called a "map", if you can believe it - and you had to mark the location of your favorite restaurants with a pencil (although I believe the pencil came standard, or the dealer would sometimes throw it in the total cost back in those days). All that came with the "electronics package" were a couple of headlights and some turn signals. The comfort package came with....er, seats. The climate control system was really easy to use though - they had an RDTW (roll down the windows) AC system, which didn't draw engine power at least. But WTF, you had to turn (TURN!!!) a **** to find a radio station (AM standard, FM on premium models only).
LOL, obviously I sometimes miss when cars were simple, despite the fact that I'm getting all the cool gadgets in my 2011.

Your GT is sweet, but I'd also like to see a 2011 Pony Package next to the 1965 since they are likely closer in appearance. Still, that's a nice set of "bookends" ya got there!
