Here's the '66 Fastback GT. Last time it was in a show was Fallbrook car show in summer of '07. I don't drive it much. Too afraid of something happening to it. I've had it for a loooong time.

Had a 65 coupe, back in 95. Just finished restoring the body w/ a windveil blue paint job, american racing torque thrust d's, hooker headers, cherry bombs etc... It was beautiful!
A ricer ran a red light while I was turning left.... I swerved to avoid and hit a fire hydrant... He kept going....

o if my car would have been alright enough to drive i would have ran him down

It was one of those ricers w/ the fart can and the neon lights under the side rails (you know the type). I don't think he ever even knew I was there.
Whenever I think back on it I wish I had hit him instead of swerving. That old piece of detroit iron would've gone though that ricer like a battering ram!
I have hated those things ever since... I hate Honda, Mitsubishi, all of em!

To get the post back on point.... If you have a classic Mustang, hold on to it like grim death. I sold the remains of mine to a good friend who completely repaired it and to my knowledge the car graces the streets of chesapeake VA to this day. I got a 97 GT after and have been a late model guy ever since. However, despite how bitchin my 07 Shelby is... I have serious pangs of regret whenever I see a classic Mustang. I am extreemly happy w/ the retro styled look of my Shelby and my 06 vert. Not quite the classic but very close.

I never liked ricers, but I was just indiferent to them before. After the incident, the sight of one of those fart can buggies just reminds me of what that guy did that night.

Also, the insurance company screwed me on a technicality. Bunch of crooks (GEICO)

I didn't get squat and they upped my rate. I'd love to take that #$%^ gecko fishing, bet I could catch a good size catfish with him on the hook.
I use USAA these days.

My buddy gave me $5,000 for the 65 which I put down on a new 97 gt. In retrospect, I think he really got the better end of the deal. I am glad though, he was always a good friend.

u serious my company goes off what is sold around the area. all the ones areound here were fully restored and selling for like 16, 17 and they couldent justify giving me that much so they just gave me 9 which aint bad i only paid 6500

GEICO stands for Government Employee Insurance Company... Obviously they arent following thier original charter!
I got nothing on my claim and my next bill included a hefty rate increase. I dropped the policy and insured my 97 with allstate. I was harrassed by Geico for months afterward, trying to get me to pay for a policy that I officially cancelled. I had to get a Jag to call them and get them off my back.
Really bad experience... Not only did I lose my 1st mustang, I had to deal w/ those crooks for months afterward.
Ironically 4 years later the 97 was wrecked when a woman RAN A RED LIGHT!
She hit the car ahead of me and both cars spun into me.
Allstate paid off the car for full value.
I also learned how safe a mustang really is.... The car was unrecognisable but, thanks to God and the Ford motor company I walked away w/out a scratch.
