The first Ford Mustang is the very definition of iconic. As the quintessential pony car—hey, it’s actually a horse—no one except orthodox Camaro worshippers will pooh-pooh you for owning one of these. A classic Mustang always gets respect.

My 1964 1/2, 6 cylinder, 3 speed in the floor was a treat to drive. If I could find another in turquoise, I would buy it. Only problem, when it rained, the sunken floor in the back seat filled with rainwater. The dealer corrected it after a letter to Ford in Detroit!
Second was a 1967, 6 with an automatic. With less than a 1,000 on the speedo, the steering wheel fell off. The dealer made a real quick repair on that one! Drove it to California pulling a small UHaul trailer. Had to draft semi's to pull up any grades. Traded for a Chevy P/U to drive to Anchorage.
