jim.gm4dhj - 08 Jul 2005 07:47 GMT Just saw my first 2005 muzy in the flesh at Glasgow airport, Scotland this morning...dark blue metalic ,good looking car...I would swop my '66 coupe for that !...which is more than I would say for the '74 to '94 versions......what a waste of 20years...looks just as easy to design a good looking car as a bad one.....
jim.gm4dhj - 08 Jul 2005 07:49 GMT sorry I meant to say '74 to '04....30 years!!!
D.K.R. - 08 Jul 2005 15:07 GMT My first car was a used '74 Pintostang with an underwhelming 171 engine. While it really didn't measure up to the earlier Mustangs, that car has a soft spot in my heart. It was a good first car that I really treated poorly. When I was 18 I bought a new '79. I loved that car. Today my son drives an '80 2-door that we've been working on for the past 4 years. I don't consider these "bad" cars by any stretch of the imagination.

My personal fav Mustang of 71+ would be a 85 GT with T-Tops, in red, with grey interior (red piping). There are so few nice four-eye examples around these days... Sigh... I saw a 85 GT convertible (same color scheme) when I went for groceries the other nite. Now thats a fairly rare car these days. It was in real nice shape too.

Spike - 09 Jul 2005 01:32 GMT My family lived with your lot in 59-61 - Troon... right next door to St Andrews... and Prestwick.... Good people but the cars were kinda sucky... : ) Ford Anglia, Vauxhall, etc....
I do believe that it is a real challenge to actually design and produce an ugly car.... I'm reminded of the Edsel, Aztec, and a few others through the intervening years.... considering all the people who have to be convinced that the public will scoop them up, and the company is not going to lose any money on them.
Even some Mustang IIs are getting hot....
So, in all those years, and one of the reasons it still exists, there seems to be something for every taste 'cause people have continued to buy them.

jim.gm4dhj - 09 Jul 2005 08:02 GMT I know I said 2005 and older than '74 were the best looking Mustangs ...but I have to say the '71/ '73 coupe (back window) and the '67/'68 fastbacks (slope shouldn't have gone all the way to the tail) were not very pleasing....from some angles.....
dwight - 09 Jul 2005 13:38 GMT >I know I said 2005 and older than '74 were the best looking Mustangs ...but >I have to say the '71/ '73 coupe (back window) and the '67/'68 fastbacks >(slope shouldn't have gone all the way to the tail) were not very >pleasing....from some angles..... Settle down, Jim.
"No taste" simply means "doesn't agree with me." It's irrelevant what anyone thinks of a car's design, other than those who choose to buy one.
The VW Thing was sold to quite a few folks who had no taste. The current Scion box is absolutely horrid, but that's only MY opinion - they seem to sell well enough.
Frankly, some of the classic designs that are held up as automotive sculpture do little for me. That's what opinions are for. How boring, if we all thought alike.
Come to think of it, if we all thought the same about beauty, there would have been far too much competition over the woman who eventually became my wife...
So, you say you have a '66. That style must have pleased your eye. And between '66 and 2005, you haven't met a Mustang you liked... All well and fine. Frankly, I saw the '66 as a huge disappointment, and a styling faux pas that Ford didn't fix until the release of the Fox-body in 1979. The penultimate design styling, the year in which Ford finally got the Mustang perfected, was 1993.
So there.

A long time ago, they used to be (among other things) a very popular amusement park/carnival prize, hence my reference.
Though, I'm still a little fuzzy on what this entire thread has to do with Mustangs. ;)

Yes, I watch TV but try to avoid the news except in the morning I watch the locals sometimes, usually for the weather.
Why do you ask?
Spike - 21 Aug 2005 05:34 GMT Unless one were planning a trip on BA (is that the same as BOAC?) not much point in paying attention. American airlines have been having problems off and on for decades. I'd be more concerned if my flight to see my daughter on this continent was cancelled/on strike/etc.
As for the food, cardboard is cardboard. I'd just as soon make a stop at Burger King or McDucks... or if I'm feeling in an evil mood... stop at Taco Hell and get lots of gassy stuff.... : 0 ) I have flown on a couple of trans Pacific flights which had excellent fare. Royal Thai, JAL, Quantas were all quite good. So was SAS in Europe. But times and contractors do change.

With all of the flying I've done in the past, I've never boarded an airplane looking forward to the meal. In fact, I have never eaten airline food.
Just give me coffee. Or that warm brown water that passes for coffee. I'll eat before or after the flight, but not during. (Usually, I'm glued to the window anyway, enjoying the view.)
Of course, I've never been on a flight longer than six hours, no transatlantic stuff. For that, I'd probably pack a Snickers bar.

Rebuild the tranny or maybe if it's ok put a shif kit in it? Rebuild /replace the engine with more horsepower? Some suspension goodies... ???
Time to stop traveling around the world and start pouring the money down a hole in the floorboard.
