We now have three 5.0's in the family. I got my first Mustang (an 89 GT) in November 1988. It got some performance enhancements (heads/cam/intake/exhaust/gears/GW suspension) at the age of 10. View attachment 147587 It remained my daily driver until December 2008, when I bought an F150. When my 2nd son graduated high school in 2009, we got him an 89 GT as a graduation gift. an Finished paying the truck off about 6 months ago, and was visiting my mechanic who was doing an oil change on my son's wife's Fusion. He and my 1st son (who has had his eyes on MY 89 for the better part of a decade) started hammering me about getting a new Stang. On the way home, we stopped at a Ford dealer and I fell for a Race Red GT that has GT500 style black racing stripes. Well, long story short, 1st son bought my 89, and I drove home in a beautiful red/black 2013 GT. We're now a three-Stang family and most of the time, we look kinda like this...View attachment 147588View attachment 147589View attachment 147590

First pic is "my" former 89 on the left and 2nd son's 89 on the right. The other two are my new 2013... It now belongs to our oldest son.

2nd Son's 89 is pretty much all stock, with an auto trans. We've since replaced the headlights, since the blacked out ones were dangerous on the roads at night...

The 2013 is gonna remain stock at least until the warranty runs out, although a little more sound from the exhaust would be nice.View attachment 147591

Nice. It's really cool how you kept your car that long, and obviously have taken great care of it. Passing it down to your son. Then you go get another one. Awesome.
