local radio station is giving away a brand new all black GT Mustang....I filled out a slip, hope they call my name on the 18th of Dec. ....... not too sure if I'd keep it or sell it...I do know that if i kept it, it needs much, much bigger and wider rims and tires...especially in the rear !!!!!

I backed it out, to get another car... so.. http://www.vettesmithinc.com/ There was a time when I made some of my income buying, and selling Shelby/Mustang stuff, and I think I have seen just about every surviving GT350, and about 10,000 -radio edit- clones. uhhg... I used to remember most of the hipo part numbers.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I wish I still had the little 200/6.. what a great car... M |

My friend has a GT350. I go with him to the Mustang things every now and then. He went some Las Vegas thing and where Carrol Shelby does something, I can't remember what. He signed the dash of the GT350 though. Its a cool car. Its call Dirtbag.
Pretty cool, but to bust them down, I keep reminding them that Lincoln Towncars are cooler. |

I wonder how much truth there is to the legend that many of them were rented over the weekend and were returned with a different engine. -Ben M.

I went to High School with Shelbys daughter back in... well it was a long time ago. Anyway she drove a GT350 to school! She was a year behind me and I didn't know her. She had a boy friend that everyone hated. Fantastic car.
The best chase scene was in a movie called To Live and Die in LA. Check it out. Cheers, Elliot |

Mmmmmmm......
GT 350's and GT 500's.... One of my early lustmobiles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) There usta be three white ones with blue stripes that parked in front of the Homestead AFB (Miami FLA) Officers club in the evenings. Had to drive by them to get to my Dads house on Colonel's row.... Dad said they were owned by a buncha crazy 1st and 2nd Looies. He also said they liked to play carrier landing when enough beer was consumed...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) You know, where you clear out an area in the bar, place a clean table in the cleared area, and pour beer on the table to make it slick. Then you run at the table, jump in the air and try to "land" on your belly on the table .......without sliding and falling off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) All that beer probably made them handle better. I remember one of Dad's Looies at the house bitching about the "New" 1969 Mustang GT's being a piece of poo. Seems that the engine was moved forward and the back end would hop up and spin the tires quite easily. Ken |

Since this thread has had a few opinions about best chase scenes. I'll offer mine. The original Gone in Sixty Seconds. Not the remake. The scene where Cage jumps the cars just ruins the movie. And since my other car is Challenger. Vanishing point. Anybody else with an opinion. Blues Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit, French Connection.
Forgot a couple. Cannonball Run, Gumball Rally, Death Race 2000. |

Yes, the original gone in sixty seconds... very cool chase scene. They drove that poor mustang until it was falling apart.
Also the movie Cannonball (not cannonball run) where the Pantera blows up... not really a great film or a great chase movie but there is enough to keep you staring in disbeliefe that the movie was made. Blues Brothers certainly has it's moments too. I watched Bullit again last night and I noticed that in Bullit & in Thomas Crown there is no musical score over the car chase or the dune buggy on the beach. Also, the sounds of the engines reving, blipping, downshifting, on over run all sounded correct for what the car was doing. I wonder if the audio was captured for real instead of dubbed in later. |

A buddy has a GT 500. Cool car. The seatbelt harness is connected to the factory rollbar. He had the engine rebuilt about 15+ years ago. Got it all back in and was warming it up to take it on it's first cruise when the el cheepo plastic fuel filter he put on it melted and set it on fire. Family/kids got in the picture and the car has been parked in his garage till about 6 months ago when he cleared all the junk out and started to work on it again. Road date is set for this summer.
I also know where a 64 GTO convertable is parked. Been sitting outside for 25 yrs, won't sell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

The new Mustang looks ok, but to me the design was driven as much by impact safety as by good looks or style... That huge lower rear bumper and both decklids look like they are 4 feet off the ground... Yuck! Overall a decent looking car but I wish it didn't have to meet whatever the 2005 federal safety standards are...
