I sold one of my s197s last November




But I still kept my Seven I've had since 7/7/2007





And I still love her!

Love my S197. It's the 2nd S197 I've owned. I would like to try a different color but I would want to keep my green car.

I followed your modding of Seven back when I had my SN95. Love that car.

It's my wife's favorite color. She'd love an automatic convertible in that color.

That's exactly what my last car was.

Seven is awesome!!!!

I love my Screaming Yellow, but I love that green too.

I love how the wheels are stuffed into the fenders of your car. It just looks right.

Is there anyone here who doesn't?

I think this thread needs a poll

I agree...

I thought when I saw the S197 in 2004 at the auto show- 'this will be the next 69 mustang' as far as 'classic'... still feel the same way. the 15 has a nicer interior, better motor/trans/suspension, etc- but like years past, there was likely a lot of folks that woulda traded a newer 2000 for a 69 on looks alone...
in 20 years the 05-09 I think will still have very few that dislike the looks, right up there with the 1969.

best car Ive ever had. the 5800 mile road trip with the wife and 4 sons in the two mustangs was one of the best vacations ever... great highway cars for a so-called 'sportscar', I did that trip in a camaro back in 90, and it was like a skateboard compared to the mustangs. love these cars, loved that trip

We've enjoyed her completely from day 1. These were taken the first week after we took delivery.

I will have my 06 till the day I die, even if somebody gives me a new GT 350.
I considered a GT 350 and then bought my 2007 vert (well it was a lot cheaper too ).

ford4v429, those are wonderful photos, especially the rainbow shot. Sounds like a wonderful trip with life long memories.
After a Nova Scotia trip this coming summer we plan on heading west again in '17. Route 66 is just too much fun in a Mustang.

Same here. What's not to love?

Perhaps it's just me, but when I first saw the S197 as a concept car in 2003, the first thing that came to mind was how strongly it resembled the classic 65-66 2+2 fastback.. Now although the 69's are also one of my favorite body styles, IMHO Ford took styling cues from the classic 65-70 model years rather than from just one particular model year..

Whenever I look at the rear tail light section, the S197 seem to have the appearance of the 70 models, but from the hood and front end sections, the S197 is definitely reminiscent of the 69.. However from the side profile, I see more 65-66 2+2 fastback with it's separate A and B pillars and horizontal decklid, where as the 69 has the full fastback/sportsroof which slopes at a 90 degree angle completely into the rear decklid..

Therefore from just the side profile, the S197 appears to share very little in common with the 69 from a visual point of view, but instead seems to have more in common with the classic 65-66 2+2 body style..

At any rate, what I love most about the S197, is that Ford re-captured the spirit of the Mustang's original pony car roots while at the same time brought it into the 21st century with it's own unique contemporary styling which is exactly why the S197 is so special as in it's own right to begin with
