I got it. Nice read. Too bad they didn't do their testing on the '66.

 

The angle of that shot really captures the essence of the heritage between those 2 cars. Very nice!

 

Did MotorTrend airbrush out the rivets in the hood scoop? I don't see them in the picture above. They are visible in the actual magazine article.
Also note that the car in the article has a white painted lower front spoiler unlike the production ones.

 

I've got a great story about that particular car.

Matt Stone, Editor of Motor Trend and author of that article, lives nearby, and showed up to our weekly car meet driving it back in January. (It was scheduled for its photo shoot the following week.)

I had been thinking about ordering a GT. That car pushed me over.

Nice looking car Paul. I share your taste.

 

Thanks Amigo.

Hey, my company's home office isn't far from you. I work for the company formerly known as Auto Trader. They are down on Granby - a number of the staff live in VA Beach.

Hey, is the picture in your profile from Dr. Strangelove?

POE !

 

I think this angle does too.

 

Yeah, I try to model my leadership style after my hero, General Jack D. Ripper.

If you are ever in town on a Saturday, you should come out to Jenros in VA Beach. Lots of folks bring out their stangs between 3 and 5:30 PM.

What is POE?

 

You need to watch the movie again!

 

Nevermind. Figured it out. Peace on Earth, Purity of Essense. I thought it might have been your initials.

I updated my signature to quote General Ripper.

 

Thanks! Also very nice and now saved to my computer's hard drive...

 

It IS a great shot. Geez...I remember when the GT350 came out...can it really be 40+ years ago??? :O

 

I was born when it came out, and I will be 42 in September, so yes

By the way, nice color choice for your car!!

 

Thanks. You've got good taste too.

 

I'm 41 and was born when the 1966 GT 350 was coming out.

In fact, my dad took me home from the hospital in his 1965 Silversmoke Gray Mustang GT fastback (my very first car ride). It had red rocker stripes and spoke hub caps. I've been a fan ever since.

 

loved that article!

 

Anybody notice the last page? "Price as tested - $38,790"! LOL! For the majority of poeple that seems to be off quite "a bit"...

 

Got mine with nav and every other **** option you're allowed to get for 41K. if you really want one, and are willing to shop around, there are MSRP deals out there.

 

I noticed Paul said on his webpage he was getting 20 MPG with his. Is that right? if so why is their a GGT on it then?
