A friend of mine got one at an auction that was cosmetically great but a bad engine. He put a 427 in it.

I think the first year was 1965? And you got a $ credit. Sometimes 'rare' does not make it desirable.

As long as you have the mullet to go along with it, you're good to go.

You wouldn't have to twist my arm very hard to have a 1987 Trans Am GTA.

I also like the old fox body Mustangs of the same era. I've had a few of them in the last 10 years, and I always end up disappointed. The drive trains are wonderful, but the interiors are poor quality plastic, and the build quality is really terrible. So, even if you find a nice one, you're going to spend a bit of time and money keeping it up if you drive it. I found that the '99 and up Mustangs are much much better.

You may remember the one I bought earlier this year. It was an '88, 83k miles, two owner. Had the 5.0 TPI and auto. I paid $4500 for it, had it three weeks and sold it for $6750. I did replace the windshield and got a few little issues sorted out. If it had been silver or white I would have kept it for a while.

Maybe. I have two of the four cars I started the year with, bought and sold ten so far, and have four left. But I am shopping.

I've also been looking at one to build up as project...

My first car when I graduated college was a 1984 Z28 HO (IROC didn't come out until 1985) with a whopping 190HP... LOL

I got rid of the original wheels for a set of Enkei's...

and of course louvers.. LOL
