Very nice. See you went with LX taillights instead of GT. Never did like the cheese graters.

I love nothing more than viewing an original owner Mustang! The stories that can be told, the memories made in the car just get me going...don't ever sell your 1st Mustang!

I sold my 1st Mustang and regret it to this day, I do have my 2nd one still and I bought her brand new also, 2003 Mach 1. I never plan to rid myself of it and hope my son will take over with it where I left off. Very nice car my friend.

Very Nice!

Unfortunately most people cannot always keep their first....mine was a '68 Coupe and I'd love to have it back but I'm sure it's long gone or has changed hands so many times I'll never see it again. Sadly you can't keep them all but if you look at my signature I sure as hell try!

Wow SVOPaul, 17, thats quite the collection. My family has a way of doing that also. We've got 4 cars, one of my uncles has 13, another has 10. Not quite there yet.

I used to keep a average year of Paul's car collection and for awhile I had to recalculate it 2-3 times a week. He's slowed down a bit lately

Yes, it has slowed down but it was always fun when you did the averaging to pick up another one and keep you busy with the calculator!

I still have a few I'd like to add but I am trying to cut back....I haven't looked in years and years but wayward cars always seem to find me and I can't resist.
