Whoa. Like said, the bank isn't going to be broken. Now that I thought about it more, it would be kinda stupic to pay $5,000 more for a 4-5 year older vehicle that has nearly the same performance. Not all people who have cho$$$$ are brainless.

Yeah, uh my parents pay for their shit, and that's it. I don't see what the hell your issue is, but I paid for everything I have through hard work via my biz. Anyways, I'll be moved out in less than a month.

Uh, I didn't say they pay for your shit. We all know you do headlight restoration and detailing. I have one more month to give you shit before you move on to what should be the best decision of your life if you handle yourself properly. So FUCK YOU richie rich!

Damn I didn't think they were that high. A friend of a friend has a 68 GT500KR. He's owned it for probably 10 years and I know he only paid 45k for it. It's supposedly the only orange one from the factory that year. Wonder how much that thing is worth.

If you aren't planning to road course the car, GT500.

Faster
Better transmission
Easier to make big power
Gets more attention than a GT

Not faster
automatic 6spd is the best
how?
I think not.

65's and 66's have been doing quite well in relation to the later cars i think due to the purists, after 66 they were all built in house at ford and badged as shelbys, the 65-66 cars were actually hacked up at the original hangar at LAX. Seems the farther down the road we get from gone in 60 seconds the more the 67' and newer cars go down.

new auto>manual for sure (except in terms of fun)
pulley/tune GT500s make more power is what he was getting at.


Personally, I like the gt500 more...even though it's got camaro problems.

Equal drivers in weather like right now, a gt500 will beat a 5.0 stock vs stock
I was comparing the mt-82 and tr-6060
Pulley swap + bolt ons make "big power" vs what a gt can do w/o the help of FI
Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it

Saying all that I really want a base '13 GT as my next car.

I used to really be into the early Mustangs (mainly 428/429 CJ stuff). The earlier cars are definitely preferred by the true Shelby "purist" because of what you outlined. I think around the summer/fall of '67, Ford was pretty much building them. $100k-$150k is not uncommon for the early (pre-'67) cars. I passed up several when they were $10k-$12k in the early '80's.

Damn! I'm not sure I could ever sell that car if I were in your shoes. That would be a damn tough decision. Of course it could provide about 4 college educations if you decide to go that direction.

What year was that?
