Lunge poll, of sorts. How old is too old to buy a Mustang?
Apr 4, 2017, 9:25 AM
|
|
Does it matter if it's a "special" one (Saleen, Shelby, SVT Cobra).
Want to sell my old 'toy' car and get one that I can drive more frequently.

Ski was head coach until I was gone - I didn't realize Jack came back to coach - he was the 'keeper my first couple of years on the team. Learned a lot from him, dude was like a cat.

I really love the '65 fastback. my dad bought one about 15 years ago but sold it for an older ford. A friend of mine had a '98 cobra and that was a sweet ride as well
Too old is when you can't get our as.s off the couch and into the shop

hardtops - while cool and classic and a good looking car IMO - are a dime a dozen and it just no longer has enough pull for me to not want a more modern version of one.

3) Just look at it.

I could find no age limitations on the purchase of a Mustang of any model. Further, the South Carolina Big Book Of Laws And Stuff does not contain any restrictions. You would have to consult The Big Book Of Laws And Stuff of the state or municipality you live to determine if there are any more local restrictions.

bit - plus it's going to be set up for better handling I imagine than the average GT. Although having said that, the bone stock V6 model will run rings around my current car, and leave it far behind on the 1/4 mile as well I imagine.

regular GT - over 22 is fine if your mullet extends at least 6 inches down your neck, and you never wear a shirt with sleeves.
V6 or Ecoboost 4 - Just stick with the Camry---chicks really aren't going to give you any additional attention from one of these.

your typical Mustang buyer wants the V8 these days.
I think Ford is trying to recreate the 65-68 phenomenon but the 6cyl Mustang of today is not what it was then, basically a re-bodied Falcon. It's a full on sports car now, just with less power.
