My dad had a 68 Fastback Mustang that he drag raced. We worked on it together almost every weekend for 15 years. I wish he wouldn't have sold it.
I can relate to that post! Wow a '68 fastback! What color?
A few years ago, I purchased a 2011 dark purple mustang convertible V8 with black drop top and cream interior.
It was a real gem with low miles , in mint condition. I finally owned my "dream car".
However, after 4 years the mileage got higher and some basic mechanical issues began to creep in.
It just wasn't practical to keep it any longer and the cost to maintain it for daily driving was getting pricey
2 years ago, I was offered a top dollar trade in value for it at a nearby KIA dealership.
So, I used the Mustang trade in value towards a new, loaded KIA Optima.
The Optima rides like a limo and has awesome options like heated seats and steering wheel
.
I miss the old mustang when I see pics of it, BUT, I love driving my Optima.
