I just read the Oct issue of Auto Eclectic and they featured 2 Mustangs. The 2011 Roush Stage 2 and a unlimited budget build 65' fastback.

Issue is here:
Digital Magazine

After reading it I thought, if I could only have one Mustang for the rest of my life what would it be a classic restored with every detail the way I want it or and new modern 5.0? A hard choice.......

What would you guys choose?

Classic restored, hands down. If you have an unlimited budget, you can get all modern amenities put into the classic mustang body... It's win-win.

key phrase here is unlimited budget... I think about the same thing all the time ..But just to go with a car you hop in and drive .. the new 5.0 .. But the shine up make look pretty... 69 MACH 1 .. no way I would do a 65 ...

On unlimited budget, deffinatly a classic.

On a realistic budget, the 5.0 all the way.
