Todd I agree to a point. They were sexy and hot and fast to us because that's what we knew and grew up with. Case in point I saved my 65 to give to my son. What 16 year old would not want a 65 mustang. The answer is most wouldn't. ( no bluetooth) My son was 1 when I bought my 99 Roush he grew up with it and had a connection to and loved the cars of his childhood not mine. That would be like the cars of the 30s and 40s to me not really my thing. When you go to the car shows most of the street rod guys are in there 60s and 70s. My favorite car is the 69 Mach 1. I could have bought an amazing 69 for a lot less than I have in my 2016. But the truth again is The classic muscle cars were slower, couldn't stop or handle anywhere near a new car. So the classic for me is more like piece of garage art. I love to drive the 16 it, is by far the best car I have ever had. I already have a bunch of Cubs that just sit and look pretty. Inevitably every time the Mustang club goes on a road trip one or more of the classics break down or won't start or has some sort of a problem. I would rather just drive. Don't get me wrong I love to look at the old stuff and I think it is cool that all the new muscle cars are made to resemble the old stuff.
