Good looking car. Also interested in the ‘19 gt500. But I’m concentrating on the projects and need a truck so my ‘15 is as good as gone and I won’t be replacing with another. As tempting as the 460 ‘18 is.
When I was a senior in high school, my brother was shipping out to Rhoda, Spain to a sub-tender and was going to leave his '69 Mustang Mach I at the house for me to drive. I have always thought that the Mach I was the best body shape of all the Mustangs. Unfortunately, he went to his old oilfield hangouts in Houma and got drunk and smashed all six sides just before he left.

My Dad bought a 1967 Mustang with a blown 279 ci. motor and we pulled that motor using the limb on the tree in the back yard and dropped the 351 from the 69 Mach I in with a little modifications. I stood on the fenders and beat the fender wells in with a sledge hammer so the exhaust manifold on the 351 would fit. I drove that car when gasoline was $0.30/gallon until I joined the Marines in 1971. My brother came home from Spain and drove the car to Meridian, Mississippi, his next duty station and a woman rear-ended him at a red-light and totaled that car.

Nice, So yall make a Boss out of it, Bet it ran!
You couldn't keep the rear tires on the ground. That '67 suspension was no match for the 351.
