Dude, I don't get it, just benefit from it.

Mint '87 GT vert? Nope, not a glance from any girl, anywhere.

2010 GT? 2009 GT/CS? One or two.

Harvest ing gold '76 coupe with NO interior, peeling paint, and a cracked vinyl top??? Just like being the guy with a guitar in high school.

Makes no damned sense whatsoever, but once I figured it out...

It was the late 70's......the acid had to start taking its toll sooner or later. And all of those fat chicks that lost to the cheer leader riding with the quarterback in the trans am, had to get to the prom some how.

One step above an ox cart. Barely.

The pinto came first in that platform, the pinto was sacrificed to save the mustang name, you had to add your own V8, gave ralph nader something to do (not sure if that was really true)
Extra points for firestone 500 tires
Long live the pinto!

I was just pointing out to some friends who thought a Mustang wasn't really family friendly enough that the only early 2000's cars you see are Mustangs and Buick Centuries and I refuse to ever buy a Century.

Century isn't that bad once you get past the nauseating ride, horrifying acceleration, and piss-poor handling. The A/C, stereo, seat comfort, and reliability are all top-notch, which is ASTOUNDING considering who built them.

I completely agree with your assessment. My father had a 2002 Century that he sold to my mother in law in 2007 and she drove it another 4 or 5 years until she wanted something new. I guess even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

We don't see very many pre-2000's cars where I live because they all just rust out by that point. Body, exhaust, wiring, etc. It won't pass inspection so it gets offloaded to Maine where they will allow anything with 4 wheels to drive on the road. Seeing a 1990's or even 1980's anything here is like seeing Bigfoot. They did away with emissions requirements for them simply because so few exist in the state.

My grandpa bought a 2001 new. I ended up driving it for about a year, we kept it as an extra car after my grandparents passed. Still can't get over how bad my 2014 F150's stereo and A/C are in comparison.

Yeah, probably not. I think it was $199 for a Mustang one last time I checked.
