I've seen several posts that have asked for side by side comparison of the 69 to the 05 models. I happen to have both for at least another day! I had to sell the '69 to finance the '05 so it will be on its way to Texas tomorrow. Here's the first pic from the front side. B)

A third front side shot, this time lower down. Incidentally, the '69 is wider, lower and longer than the '05. But I love them both.

The last pic also made me realize how good the 05 will look with a duck tail. Wonder if it'll look good with both the duck tail and a blacked out wing like the 69?

Very nice. I don't know if I could get rid of the '69 if it was me. Although you could always buy another one in the future.

The other part of the reason that the '69 had to go is the hulk under the tarp in the driveway in the shot of the rear end. It's a '67 coupe that I'm doing a complete restoration on. Three Mustangs is at least one too many according to my wife!!

They both look great. The 05 looks like me compared to 69. A little fatter!

How hard was it to let go? My fiance says that we have to sell our 93 LTD Edition stang so we can finance the 05. But I really don't wanna let it go considering that there were only 1503 of them made in the color I have. I would rather put her in storage until we get a bigger house with another garage or workshop.

Just tell the wife that the 69 and 67 are investments and build onto that garage to house them all.

Looks like my mustang parked next to your classic. Nice to know how well they look compared to the older ones.
