Guess The Color! 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

Early Drop-Top: 1965 Ford Mustang Rangoon Red

Though a lot has been written about 1964 or 1964 ½ Ford Mustangs, there really was no such thing. They were all titled 1965 models, including the early ones from the launch in April 1964. The seller’s convertible seems… more»

340/4-Speed: 1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda

Manufacturers focused heavily on the highly competitive Trans Am series during the 1960s and 1970s, placing great store in the “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” mantra. It spawned such classics as the Mustang Boss 302 and the Camaro… more»

Nice Driver: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 4-Speed

Unmolested 5.0! 1988 Ford Mustang LX

I’d call the Fox Body Mustang, such as this 1988 LX notchback, one of the great performance stories of the post-muscle car (’64-’72) era. Reasonably priced, reliable, and fast is how these cars rolled, especially the more restrained LX… more»

Edelbrock Equipped: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

Stunning Driver: 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible

General Motors arrived late to the pony car party, but that doesn’t mean its Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird weren’t worthy competition for Ford’s Mustang. The two badges stole sales from the Mustang, and buyers could order them with… more»

Total Rebuild: 1966 Mustang 2+2 (Fastback)
