I love my 1970. As a wedding present my Dad/ Brother got the engine rebuilt for me by our local old timer shop (saving me like a winter of farting around in the shed). I love the styling, the ride, and the pushrod rumble, and the power on demand. Even when it was running with (1 or more) spun cam bearings and misfires that thing was a beast!

The new ones are fast & fun (The outlaws have one) but yeah I hear you. I bet all of those v6s are NA with stock cams and a glasspack.

this is why you have a built in smoke generator in your car.
They rev and all you get is noise, you rev and its a sensory experience impacting vision, hearing, scent, and taste.

I was hoping for several 1000hp stangs! Nope...

Went to the mustang show today, simply for something to do. And I wasn't really impressed. There was at least 400 mustangs, and not one that just blew my mind. Most we're your run of the mill GT's, lots of supercharged ones, I saw one gt500 super snake. Two were turbocharged, which intrigued me more than anything else. One running parrallel twins and the other running a single. Both had relatively small chargers and I'd guess would be a little over 600hp.

The engine bay needs to be blasted & repainted (original green, rattled red by PO, rattled black by 17yr old me)
The transmission needs work (winds up and slams into second)
The motor needs to go back in :p
Needs a real carb, not the junkyard special I was running way back when

07-17-2013, 09:06 AM #14The new 5.0l GT's have an impressive motor. Even the 3.7l V6 is stronger than a lot of past Cobra models and probably the most trackworthy setup in the Mustang line.

Other than the engine bay mishaps this car is really unmolested, and has no serious rust. I want to keep it as stock as possible (hence the 3 speed auto, and the stock rebuild). It should be a fun car to cruise around in and make some noise if I want to. I like ethanol in modern regularly driven cars, but this baby will only be seeing straight gas & stabil.
I WILL be adding AC though, and a simple but nice stereo in the glove box leaving the dead AM radio in the dash for looks.
