There is a powder blue colour that I see often in Chepstow. Sounds great and must say looks great to. Really warmed to the Mustang.

Grabber blue
My personal favourite is need for green , that was MY19 only
Some people look down on the mustang but let's face it , 5.0GT 420bhp ,3 year warranty , £150 tax on 0% finance at the time for the price of a bmw 320D when I bought mine is a bargain , they're a lot more expensive now , NCAP marked them down because they don't nanny you so ford added all the **** modern cars get.
I love mine
, once it's paid for I'll start modifying it , loads do it on PCP then take it all off when they give it back but I don't see the point , all I've done is change the exhaust.

That's the colour. Looks stunning. I would consider a used one if I didn't do an 80 mile commute each day. What's the smaller engine one like....Seems wrong buying a Mustang though without that V8.

Never warmed to Mustang Muscle, they're cheap for what they are but not for me

Fixed that for you
In my experience, a whole load of European classic cars still drive very well today.

The early ones were built for american roads , cart springs on the back , the S550 has independant suspension like any other car , they are built to a price , no getting away from that but it was 1/2 the price of the next V8 at launch , it's still 50k less than a bmw M8 and likely to be worth the same at 4 years old

the blue motor looks nice and aggressive, bigger wheels and some neg rear camber?

Like everything weaknesses can be fixed, as for classic mustang handling pop along to the next Goodwood revival.
My 65 handles fine for daily driving and motorway but not so good on the twisty B roads, looks and sound the dogs though !

As much as there are few appealing designs , American muscle cars even to this day are not built to go round corners , its as simple as that , why im not quite sure , its a shame twisty lanes havent caught on in the US , they have enough mountains for chrisake

That is rather fine.
In 1982 I was on holiday in LA, and I rented a 1972 mustang convertible from Rent-a-Wreck. About 10 days into the holiday somebody drove into the back of it. Rent-a-wreck turned up in 2 hours with a powder blue 1965 Mustang convertible and swapped it over. Good times!

I love me some twistys, so does the Spyder. Not everyone over here is a Philistine
.Scaf, do I see disks on the front, and Shelby scoops on the side? Your Webers are sweet too.

It does have discs and the scoops as you say, the bonnet scoop is now functional to feed the carbs !I love me some twistys, so does the Spyder. Not everyone over here is a Philistine

Car had a nut and bolt rebuild in the states - all I have done is add the carbs. It’s a lot of fun nailing it !

If you look at our cars, you know why we had to become hotrodders. When I had to send the Biturbo to the recycler's, I saved the motor and trans for some future project. Dreamed of scoring a Lotus Europa, and dropping in the Biturbo lump. What do you chaps think? I got to use chaps in a sentence! My vocabulary has grown so much since hanging out here, lots of cool phrases, the other day I told my boss to sod-off. Didn't go so well, I forgot his wife is from Scotland. Btw Scaf, you prob. know this but American V8's with Webers are very sensitive to cam timing. They don't like a lot of overlap, and need a pretty wide LSA to avoid spitting back through the carbs.
