5.0-50A

Hello everyone! Long time Mustang lover but I didn't own one till last year an '06 GT vert with barely 12k miles. Prior to that I couldn't tell you how many I've rented over the years for fun and business. Back to the vert, just started to mod it and reluctantly had to sell it *but* very fortunate to replace it just now with a 50th Anniversary LE in Wimbledon White! It's a nod to my Dad who bought a new Mustang GT way back in 1965!!! At this point of life it's my keeper car and means more than stats or performance figures. It's the way it looks at rest and the memories that come flooding back. It's the feeling and memories when the chimes sound and the car rumbles to life. It's my Mustang now. Let the new mods begin. And no I'm not putting a spoiler on it

the old GT was a vert. I have 2 others still both convertibles, always a drop top fan

Thanks! Apparently 1 of 7 that passed thru Hawai'i, who knows how many actually stayed here.

Nice find! Congrats on the 50th car! You will want to be careful to not do any mods you can't undo. That car will be worth more than your average 2015 GT if it stays close to unmolested.

Welcome and congrats!

Thank you No plans to sell it ever but I don't want to drill, cut, hack or otherwise maim the main body so most of the mods will be basic like LED stuff or stickers. I do want to put louvers on the back glass though but that's stick on and hope to lessen the load on the a/c (ahem).

I waited 8 months to get mine then had to park it for the winter only a month after ownership. You at least won't have to worry about snow!

Hawaii is one of my three states left to visit someday maybe... I would think the driving there would be fun.

top down on the way to the beach... getting majorly sunburned in stuck bumper to bumper traffic that is the reality of Honolulu Hawai'i now. I can only imagine what people must be thinking when they visit and trip out or feel ripped off. that island is a mess with overcrowding and rail to nowhere construction. so I moved to the Big Island couple years ago just so my brain could breathe!
but yeah when traffic dies down or you get to other sides of the island where is more remote now you're talking. tooling right along the shoreline at sea level! smell of salt air and plumeria,j etc etc. haha! many islands to choose from. mountain roads even. on and on it goes too much to list here as they say. each island has it's own feel and way about it. a jeep is the best rental. just don't leave any valuables inside. nothing at all you hear me! ok, enjoy when you do get here
