Ya know I've always wondered...

Gramps owned a Ford Dealership. grew up with an ALL FORD OWNING side of the family. cuzins a big man at Ford Motor Comp. other is mechanic. ..began when i was 4 and my dad showed me what he had hidden in the back garage.... one day he pulled out a 1969 Mustang, babyblue conv. black leather int. ..all original 13k on it.
needless to say, i fell in love and have been nuts over Stangs ever since.
finally senior year i bought n paid for my own 1995 Gt! Best day ever!

My dad had a 1965 fastback stang he was looking to restore but never got around to it (decided if he really wanted one he would buy it restored). I always thought it looked badass.

I myself never liked mustangs except for the classic stang. I was looking at eclipses/supras (I was ALL about looks not engine). I REALLY needed a car so I test drove a 94 gt and was suprised how fun it was to drive. Since then the mustang look has grown on me and I love the fact that these cars can go fast with relatively little money.

Haha. I come from a strong GM background. My dad is a master GM technician. I've helped my uncle as well through the years ... a master Ford technician ..... who I helped restore his '67 Chevelle. Going to car shows / drag races throughout my life is what turned me to Blue Oval. The very moment I looked at my first '70 Mach1 in person at a car show .... I fell for the Mustang. & I swore to myself that I'd own a '69 or '70 someday. (Hence the avatar / SN.) That very car won 1st place at the show .... then turned right around & ran an 11 second 1/4 on the track. I've now owned 2 SN95's .... possibly 3 here soon. I have 4 Fords sitting in the driveway right now & will never turn back. As of now .... the only GM product I would even consider owning is a Grand National. If I never get one of those, you'll probably never see a "GM anything" in my driveway. I also may see another RX-7 in my future ... but other than that .... I'm all FORD baby.

I dont have any deep family roots in mustangs...or in cars in general. So everyone looks at me like i lost my mind for being so into mustangs and cars in general.

But anyway, i actually initially wanted a 98+ trans am but 5 years ago, i couldnt afford one. So i got a v6 stang...started making it look good but realized a v6 = slow lol. So i eventually sold it and got my 95 GT. Did some cosmetic mods and started ripping into the motor.

The thing that gets me is the ability to make the car so unique with so many parts avail. out there. And its sort of like my stress reliever(one of them ) nothing like wrenching on the stang all day with buddies or by myself, although that can be stressful when ***** breaks, and there is nothing like just driving around cruising. Feels like you are in your own world especially when you have rebuilt most of the parts on the car with your own hands.


Oh yea, i still want a 02 triple black WS6

For me its so wierd...i obviously got into cars because of my dads side of the family. My dad and uncle are both very into cars, and both have a few special projects of their own. My father is a die hard GM guy. The only ford hes ever owned was a 94 brono off the showroom floor, and had it for 12 years and LOVED it. He tried to get me into GM cars but they were either too expensive, or at one time i wanted a 67-69 camaro but he said too many people had them...be original. So a short time later, i actually got into classic mopars. I was DEAD set on a 68-69 dart for like 2 years. I looked, and looked, and looked to no avail. Finally a green one came along with a perfect body, black vynil (sp) roof, 318ci, 4spd which i went to look at. It was decent until i stepped into the car and my foot went straight thru the rusted floorboards to the street....ALL the way down. At that time i realized i need a newer more reliable and i ALWAYS had a special place in my heart since i was about 6 for fox mustangs, but my dad didnt like them. Finally i got him to realize that i could get a nice fox mustang for about the same as a ****ty condition old car, and not have to restore it like i would have to the old one. When it came time to buy one we looked around, and he drove cause i had just gotten my permit and didnt know how to drive a stick yet. He fell in love!! So we go to look at this 88 lx hatch 5.0, auto, black on black, rough paint, crazy offset 100s spoke wheels, and 120k on the ticker. I would have gotten it for $1900, painted it, put wheels on it, and woulda been happy, but there was this red 95 GT across the lot on a stand by the road that i just kept gravitating to. The salesman finally caught on to me constantly looking at it, and said to my dad for a lil bit more, your gonna get a MUCH better car. Took the car off the stand, test drove it, and i bought it 15 minutes later with my own $ i'd been saving since i was 6 for a car

Theres nothing i like more than to have a few buddies with me out in the driveway wrenching on our cars. Thank god all my car buddies have mustangs:SNSign:

Michael ... your roots sound kinda like mine.

i had always loved camaros when i was younger. 67-69 and then the 4th gens when they came out. I was looking to get one of either of them for a while but could never get enough money for either. All of my friends had mustangs, so i decided to go to FFW with them. After that weekend i realized what i could get and for how much money. I then bought my 1988 convertible that i had until this past fall, then bought my 95 from the car dealership i worked at.
