    Salesman/Dealers dont know anything special

    Very well said. :nice: kbb.com nada.com edmunds.com Most dealers have an internet sales guy (which allows them to sell the car to you cheaper). Good Luck

    289 or 302, which is better to invest in to rebuild?

    I'd also go with the 302 unless you are restoring the car and need a matching # block. I'd keep the 289. You may want to put it back in one day (or you could sell it to a show car guy). Good luck

    1993 cobra front rotor replacements

    I would go with Ford (stock) rotors. I like them over the after-market/discount rotors (for a few bucks more). There are alot of cons with using the cross-drilled/slotted rotors: They tend to crack, the are more expensive, and the use up the brake pad faster. I refuse to use them on the...

    Bigger V8 from Ford

    Hmm, I just looked it up. The Mustang has averaged 140,000 cars per year for the last 10 years. According to my research the Mustang has out sold the Camaro 2 to 1 (total production per year). In it's entire production run the Mustang has out sold the Camaro 8,600,000 to 1,225,000. :shrug...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    Scottie, Great posts. I agree that the gov't needs to raise tax revenue, but I recommend a "suspension" of gas taxes until the price stabilizes at a lower level. It helps everyone and could make a politician famous. I agree it would be a complex formula but the Federal tax code is already...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    ??? The original post is a very good question. Will the price of gas effect all of the current "best selling" cars/trucks/SUV's (inc. the V-8 stang)? It did in the 70's. I remember when you could buy a Shelby Mustang for $1000. People were dumping muscle cars, and it seems the smart ones...

    GTO or Stang

    You forgot about the incredible depreciation on a BMW. I bought my wife a 540 for her b'day. You decided she didn't like it. The BMW was a costly mistake for me. IRS? Some like it, some don't (mostly drag racers), and some don't know what it is. Ford has sold almost 9 million Mustangs in...

    Help me settle this bet with Restomods

    You can get old car values at nada.com . Classic cars, then muscle cars. It will give you a better idea of what classic muscle cars are selling for. I'd be very happy to get 1/2 of what I have invested in my '65 notch. :shrug:

    tranny problem

    Where is the leak? The tranny tail shaft seal could be leaking. Did you check the tranny fluid level? If full, you may have a p/s fluid leak. Check the p/s fluid level. It depends on the dealer. They could void warranty (see info in owners manual). I'd take the mods off if I didn't know...

    Cobra R suspension Q.

    93R or 95R or 00R? The 93 & 95 had the same exhaust as the Cobra, the 00 had a unique side exhaust.

    Road Atlanta Walter Mitty Challenge Information

    Mitty Larry and Chris, hsrracing.com has pics of the cars on track. Sorry I didn't get to catch up with anyone (due to the awful weather). Oh well, maybe next year will be better. I left Sunday morning due to the weather and then took my wife on a 2 week vacation (I have to do this...

    Road Atlanta Walter Mitty Challenge Information

    I'll be in my '65. All the Mustangs are trying to park together, but it will be a crowded paddock so who knows? I'll be camping in my car trailer. Are you bring your '66? Doc

    Road Atlanta Walter Mitty Challenge Information

    meeting place I would suggest you could meet near turn 10. It has a good viewing area of the track, and they have alot of seating built into the hillside. That will also be near the midway. I understand alot of vendors will be there (including a dyno). They have several restrooms located in...

    4k off MSRP

    I do business with a dealer in N. GA. I've bought 7 cars/trucks from them and they always give me their best deal by way of the phone and fax. jjford.com A friend in FL faxed the type of car and options he wanted to several dealers and found a good deal. The worst way to get a good deal...

    Road Atlanta Walter Mitty Challenge Information

    I've raced the Mitty for 12 straight years. It is the best vintage race on the east coast (OK, the Zippo GP at the Glen is also good). The lunch time track touring is a little expensive for what you get. In the past they have allowed the car clubs to tour the track for free (as a group) as...

    4k off MSRP

    $4000 off invoice + $200 is a good target. Don't let them sell you any extras. If you finance, shop for it as well.

    2005 Mustang GTR and Saleen?

    Because NASCAR banned them in the early 70's. A spoiler works best when it is up in clean air. Check for a story on the GT-R which will be seen this week at the New York Auto Show. (detnews.com)

    40th Anniversary

    Rides are free, but they will not allow passengers during the open track events (all 3 of my Mustangs are raced). Everyone be safe on the road to/from Nashville! :nice: You may need to increase your gas budget. I just returned from FL. Gas was almost $2.00/gal. ($1.59 in GA). Race 112...

    65 gas tank

    I'd recommend installing a metal plate instead of the cardboard one to protect the passengers from the tank/trunk area. :nice:
