I've always like Mustangs and have helped my son get his '68 ready for a V8....The Boss 302 made me fall in love with 'Stang....

My dream car has always been the AC Shelby Cobra....

But....I seriously love my C5 Corvette...no regrets.....

I don't even think about my old dream car anymore!

Congrats on a great find and purchase. 6 spd or auto?
