I'll take the '65 Shelby GT-350R.
350+ horsepower, and a chassis that was built to race.
It helps that the looked real nice too.

Nice is an understatement...

'68 GT500KR for me, though. Best car of all time, IMO. Perfect combination of looks, performance, and overall kick-assness. Make mine any bodystyle in any color with an options. Hell, it's the first thing I'll do if I win the lotto, followed by a nice house in San Diego County and 4 years at UTI or WyoTech (or equivalent).

come on guys 429?

that thing was a boat anchor.

428 CJ Mach all the way. sure it doesnt have the luster of the Boss name. but it's fast as hell and a hell of a lot cheaper.

not saying i wouldnt accept one if it was free. just isnt worth the pretty penny it costs.

gt350R wasn't half bad either

Blasphemy! I see no option for the '03/'04 Mach 1! One of the finest Mustangs I have driven/owned. I do have a soft spot for the 1st edition Shelby's however.

I forgot about my beloved 1970 Sidewinder Mustang!!! It was only a decal job, but it has some mystery to it, and it looks awesome

Yeah the poll seems a bit skewed.. if it was the best mustang ever, it would include every model and year. I guess the other category comes into play and just post your thoughts.

Talking 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1

With a big block 390ci engine. Why I think it was the best, because it was my first car. And the first car I modified with my mechanic uncle. I won a great many races with this car and put several chevy, pontiac cars to shame.

I agree with Lalo on this one. The '70 Boss 302 would be my first choice with the '00 Cobra 'R' a very close second. The Twister picture is for you, Lalo.

Agreed, except make mine a vert like the one Kevin Costner drove in Bull Durham. Great movie, great car.

Second choice is a 1970 Boss 302. I came so close to buying one then, but that's another story.

AFBlue- Now you are just playing with my emotions!!! Putting together my favorite things about a Mustang! (Sidewinder, Grabber Blue, Mach 1, Shaker)... The thing is that I never even thought of this.

Until Ford puts another purpose built race engine in a Mustang I'll stick with the boat anchor.
