Sold! Sold! Sold!......Gone!

[Rick Shopmier]

Well I did it, sold the 66 Mustang. Had it for 21 years, oh well. Got top dollar as the car goes to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
I'm working on a replacement, but I'm not talking. SOOOOOO what's your best guess?

[05mustangman]

Rick have you lost your mind!? That car was beautiful!!! The only guess i would have is a 2012 or 2013 Boss.

[4Jenna]

Boss or newer GT500

[Jodaddy]

[1966PonyGirl]

first of all... SELL OUT!!! how dare you! :'( secondly....my guess is your going to hold out for a 2014.

[03cobrazzz]

he cant wayt that long i think for what you like to do lagunaseca :awsome:

[Jacostang]

Oh man I cant believe it!!! But I'm with Andy, Laguna Seca......

[Brianpnaz70]

what a nice ride. 20 plus years with it! even better.

[trucker]

since you live on the far west side :biglaugh:

[66Pony]

WOW Rick - can't believe you sold that beauty. IMO, get back on the horse and get another 65/66 Fastback - the best body style ever!

[Rick Shopmier]

Without letting the cat out of the bag too much, I have been looking at Boss 302s. I am now talking to dealers offering discounts off msrp on 12s and msrp on 13 orders when availible. Today I found 11 Boss' in the valley and 57 around the country in dealers. Looks like the market is now satrated and deals can be had. Pity the fools with markups like Bell that is asking 10K over on a regular Boss. But, wait there's more, I am also looking at the Camaro ZL1, Audi A5 and Corvette. I really don't think the Shelby 500 is worth the money for the way I would use it. Still want your suggestions.

[trucker]

something like these maybe

[HanksGT]

21 years with a 66 Mustang, you can't jump ship. Get the Boss.

[05mustangman]

Audi A5 = Daily driver grandpa car. Corvette = Your ready to admit retirement and midlife crisis. Camaro ZL1 = Terrible quality and if you wouldnt want a GT500 the ZL1 wouldnt be for you either.

The Boss is the only way to go!!!!!!!!

[WildBill]

:uhh: 58 Edsel ?.....

Know where two are at this moment!

[WildBill]

66 7liter Galaxie 500 XL

[rsnider]

Considering you are someone who likes corners... if it's a Ford it'll be the Boss or a Focus ST or maybe an STr. I've also heard you talk about the VW.

[rsnider]

Hay Wild Bill,
The first car I drove was a 66 Galaxy 500 XL with a 352/4V. I burned off the rear tires in 5k mi. Who has one for sale?

It was also my first car to drive, but I was "littler" than you when I did it. :mrgreen: It was that Baby Blue.
I have a guy in Oklahoma that has promised it to me for $1500. It's all there and needs work. I haven't desided what I want to make out of it, but I'm fairly sure I'm not gonna restore it. It prolly won't be a drag car, but It may go on the Power Tour. Some thing fun for the street, but very nasty.

[rsnider]

A 427 for $1500 bucks seems like a real find!

[Scott GT/CS]

A 2013 GT500 would be interesting!

[I Eat Camaros]

Yellow Boss or a pre order 2013 650 HP Shelby GT.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wave:

[rsnider]

No details, no specifics... but a VERY close friend that works at Roush in Livonia told me there has been a lot of activity in the dyno labs at Ford. And every time he's there it's a GT500 on the rollers. I hope it's not the 99 Cobra fiasco all over again.

[Rick Shopmier]

Sounds like Ford is checking their math before they let the horse out the door. Wonder if they will use the cheep ass chinese transmission when all is done. Me, I'm just watchin. Vespa's Rule.

[05mustangman]

Rick. The Tremec TR-6060 Trans is actually really good. Have had no issues with it at all. The only issue you might have heard alot about was the shifter problem and that was taken care of. But you would love the 6-speed.

[trucker]

go with the boss you don't need another pair of socks

Obviously you are not aware that the current 6 speed manual is the GETRAG MT82 transmission made in China. It appears that the MT82 went into the Mustang (all models) in the summer of 2010 as MY2011. Ford says that 3% of owners have complained about notchy shifts, grinding in 5th gear and hard cold shifts. Ford has made some slight mfgr mods to correct the problems. There was an issue in testing that the gears were noisy so the fix was heavier weight gear oil, hense cold shift problems.

[05mustangman]

Im talking about the GT500 transmission not GT's. The MT82 is different from the TR-6060. I can care less where the MT82 is made because its not in the GT500's. I guarantee no matter what car you buy, not every part will be American made. Yes there were complaints on grinding 2nd gear and notchy shifts but those were taken care of. At least in ours with the new shifter.
