Thinking the unthinkable

[DougG69]

I really need to watch it... I've caught myself lately thinking about selling the Mach 1 and buying a newer Mustang :hide

I think I just need to drive this one more. Took a nice little drive Sunday and forgot all about the newer cars... for a while.

I sold my 66 fastback for a newer car and have never got over it! I still regret that move. I have 3 words for you... DON"T DO IT!!!

I'd sell mine for a new one. Then again, my 68 is a rust bucket, half done, and no motor.

:stu :stu :stu I have a older one and a newer one. I watch one go up in value as the other goes down. Don't do it.

I have been thinking of finishing up the 65 and fixing the problems with the 67 and selling as well. I then could get a dirt road friendly Jeep CJ and a new Mustang.

I think for me I haven't had the money to put into them for so long, I an frustrated. I will likely change my mind once I can work on them again.

Or, not if I want a shop....

I can say that I will more than likely sell the Triumph though. Mostly because I need the real estate.

I have old mustangs and new mustangs and I love them all but I wouldn't sell either of my 68's to buy a new one...no matter HOW bad I want a '13 GT500.

I absolutely love my 2011 5.0; it's the most incredible new car I've ever owned. That said, it could never replace a classic Mustang. There is just a feeling you get driving a classic that can't be duplicated in something new.

What he said, word for word.

Every time I have problems with my car I thing about selling it. For me the enjoyment is building the car more than driving it. The car is a blast to drive and gets lots of attention every time I go out but when it comes down to it it is just a cool old car to me. If I could sell it for anything close to a fair price I likely would. I'd use the money to buy another hot rod or finish my Volvo.

Anybody want to buy a really nice convertible?

I did not sell the classics to buy a new one but having only a new Mustang is sweet. It does not compare to driving any classic....as others have said....that is a feeling all its own and a sweet one too.

Once we sold the last '66, my wife said we needed to have a Mustang again, and the '66 had not left our possession at that time. Gotta love a wife like that. So we went shopping. Drove the new 5.0 and really loved it with the manual. For me, it is great because I am still in the right named car and do not have the tinkering to do. That was/is hard on my back so it was a trade off for me. I tend to like to play under the hood of the classics and then I hurt so much that driving them is not fun. She picked out the GT/CS while I was looking around the lot....kept telling me to look at it.....

Drive one and let that help make your decision.
