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.

It wasn't terribly hard. I used the '69 as a daily driver and I frankly got tired of having to work on it when it needed repairs, and try to build up the '67, too. I'm a Mustang guy through and through but I don't seem to develop a personal emotional attachment to the cars.

Ten years ago I sold off a redone 1965 coupe that I'd owned for 5 years to finance my son's college - and to build up the '69. Now I'm into the '67 and I have a wondeful 2005 that I can drive, enjoy and show without having to worry about repair work - the best of both worlds in my opinion!

Cars, space, time and money - those are the keys - so do what fits best in your situation.

My wife would kill me if I even mentioned selling the '66 to help finance an '05 (which we both want). The only way I could get rid of our '66 coupe is if I replaced it with a '64.5-66 convertible (which is my wife's dream car).

Hopefully the '69 is going to a good home!
