I agree Kevin it is insane what the high end auctions have done and now it is having a ripple effect across the entire Mustang market.

People who can't afford Shelby's buy Boss's, then it goes to Mach's and so on.

Right now if I had the money and wnated an old muscle car I would be looking at a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra. Great power and they are reasonably affordable compared to the classic Stangs.

My other manger has a 1967 S-code fastback that currently has a worked 428 under the hood. (There are rumors that 428's were dealer installed into some of the S-codes as a performance package)

Anyway he purchased the vehicle about a year ago for about $25,000 and now is recieving offers in the mid to high 30k range. Its incredible how the Mustang market has soared.

My God that is a gorgeous car! I recall seeing a Shelby Cobra like that one in a Auto Ad magazine about 20 years ago for about $18,000, supposedly in good shape. Now they're going for $300,000 OMG that is crazy!
