What would you have in your garage if there was nothing holding you back?
71-73 MUSTANGS
One of the top cars in my dream garage would be a 1972 Mustang Mach I! I had the privilege of owning one several years ago that was a fairly amateur restoration with a 429/automatic combination. It was one of the funnest cars I have ever owned!
One of my favorite things about this year of Mustang is that they look awesome even with their stock wheels and tires. But put the right set of custom wheels and some wide tires on them and they really come alive visually!
Of all of the pictures that I have ever seen, this is one of my favorites.
I love the wheel/tire combo and the stance! I still haven't totally decided on the color although I do like it. Call me a traitor but I would love to see this one in Chrysler's Sublime Green! Wouldn't it look awesome with those matte black Mach I stripes?
O course you could just do an awesome restoration on it! What a great looking 70's era convertible!
As for engines, I'd take almost any of them. A Boss 351? Of course! It was a truly great engine that never got it's full potential developed because of the oil crisis of the mid 70's.
But I am still really partial to my 429! But you know what, I'd actually bump it all the way up to a 460! They are identical on the outside so why not grab that extra 31 cubes?
Isn't this one of the most awesome factory interiors you've ever seen? Maybe you don't like green as much as I do, but make it black, red or tan, wouldn't it be great!
