I was partial to the 1972 GTO:

1972 was about the last good year for classic Mustangs, too. I've always liked the '71-72 Mustang fastback's looks. I think it was also the last year of the "real" Mach 1 Mustang.

Hmph.
I dreamt of those, but caliche roads and farm work meant, my first 4 vehicles were trucks.
That's a sweet ride that I'll never get behind the wheel of.

 

[Vaquero]

Yeah, but that's not a Mustang...

Thank goodness.

 

[General Zod]

Thank goodness.

It has my pity...classic Mustangs are always my pick.

Don't worry, my mother helped me buy it and I could barely keep up with the payments. After the gas hike, it was hard to feed it. I had a lead foot.

That 340 Wedge left Mustangs in the dust outside Las Vegas.

That 340 Wedge left Mustangs in the dust outside Las Vegas.

And yet classic Mustangs are still my preference over the imitators.

Man. I had a subscription to Hot Rod magazine and spent more time reading Progressive Farmer.
Older brother could break more equipment than me and Dad could keep running.
I still love slow speed high torque stuff.
But now and then, I wanna fly.

I'll tell what, I had that speedometer pegged at 150 several times, it made those straight roads outside Vegas seem curvy.

That's fast in a car like that, lol.

I didn't buy it new, fairly new, but not new. Las Vegas had a lot of fairly new used cars back then, probably due to gambling habits.
