Default Bought a 1969 Shelby GT350

Parents bought a grabber blue / white interior GT500 brand new when I was just 8 years old. Loved that car and still think they're one of the best looking muscle cars of that era. Parents traded it in a few short months later for a new Olds Delta 88 convertible; said the Shelby rode too rough. I was heartbroken, even as an 8 year old.

Would love to see your new car; wish you the best of luck with it.

Heck yes, always wanted a Ca special. Sure the new stangs are nice and all but just dont have that character the older ones do. Great looking machines!
Lets see how many late model stangs are on the road 50 yrs from now? I bet close to none due to all the electronics.

You must have never driven a Voodoo. The modern GT350 is the first Mustang I considered over a Vette. The cars are crazy engaging.

Then, you would definitely like my '69 GT500 convertible that is unrestored. I've owned it for about 25 years..I like the 350 car too, pretty cool stuff.
