So raw, so analog, so physical. You can imagine all those parts working together like clockwork. No wires, computers, sensors, chips or plastic in between. It's beautiful! The noises, squeaks, the vibrations. You can almost smell this car; axle grease, gasoline and old upholstery. Just you and the car. Cars haven't been made like this for longer than I've been alive. And I'm in my 40's. I do have to say, you are brave. At 200kmh, those old brakes... well, you might as well not have any in case of an emergency. I can also see the vibration of the tires through the rear view mirror. Quite the experience!

[@O-plaat]

It depends on the owner, literally the first thing I did on mine was replacing the brakes to modern discs with a vacuum pump that combined with thicker suspension bars and stiffer springs do give it a safer feeling on European highways. Up until around 180km/h when the aerodynamics lift up the front side and you lose all steering. She will go up to 230 but considering the fact I just told you its safer not to.

If you’ve never been in the drivers seat of the ‘65-‘66 Mustangs and looked out over that long hood, it really was an amazing view. The 260 c.I. V-8 that was the first V-8 offered before the 289 was a great little engine. For very little money an Edelbrock aluminum intact and Holly 4-barrel carb would wake up the little 260 and it could hold its own with the 283 Camaro. Those were the days when any young guy with curiosity and ambition could have a lot of fun waking up those Mustangs. Just like this one.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

I went 90 in a 1973 Lincoln, 78 in a 1973 Mercury colony park, and 70 in a 1935 Hudson. The front hood in itself was an artform, the difference between a star point hood and then a wide expanse like a 1973 Lincoln is incredible.

[@chehystpewpur4754]

@@rustyaxelrod surprisingly enough alot of the older cars do handle pretty well. the suspension was heavy and had little deflection due to being actual metal. but tires and shocks werent so hot at the time and everyone thought they were bad. modern tires and shocks will make most old cars drive like a new one. but many old cars have bump steer and that can be pretty scary. steering rack conversions have been getting more common as it cuts bump steer down a ton and makes them handle even better.

Being this is an imported mustang originally sold outside of Germany, I'm assuming from USA. (In Germany if memory serves me the Mustang was already copyrighted so it was called a T5 and didn't have the mustang script on the fenders.) It would appear this is a 64 and 1/2 or 65 being it doesn't have the 3 "finger" trim/ faux brake scoops on the rear quarter panels as well as the dash is a sweeping speedometer and warning lights with no other guages the 66 has the round speedometer and round gages for fuel, alternator, oil pressure, and coolant/engine temperature... miss my 66 I had

[@nomebear]

@@jlmljames I was fifteen when I got a new 64 1/2. White with black interior, It was a nice car, well equipped, had a stick shift, but there were much faster cars around in those days. Handling wasn't great in wet weather, the rear would break loose, and brakes were "just okay" for a factory model. If you wanted more, then Ford would certainly sell you a Shelby.

[@jlmljames]

@@nomebear That is true but the feeling of a car like that my 1st/3rd car was a '66 coupe (1991 my dad restored it) with a 289 2bbl with auto yes it was SLIPPERY on wet or even damp roads but when you knew how to drive it it was a blast driving it while the rear end was on edge of breaking loose was a rush. It would top out at 120-130mph from floating the valves. But cruising night with the fox bodies and cameros pulling besidfe me was fun as well (remember stock 289 2bbl) I would put it in wet weather drive (started out in 2nd gear not 1st) and not even look at the person beside me and wait for the light to turn... floor it wait till I was doing about 10mph and drop it into normal drive and t would shift into 1st ad the back tires would squeal for a bout half a second and the rear would shimmy once and I would take off like a bat out of torment while I would have about 3 car lengths ahead... fun times

These cars were very light, even with the V8 and the extra bracing off the convertible body they came in at just under 3,000 pounds. Speed is a function of the power/weight ratio. You don't need much power to go fast if you haven't got much weight to move.
