We will then cheat by flipping a coin to see if the final car is a sage green SVO or a 7 up edition green Mustang Convertible. Actually I love oddball cars so we will just go with the sage green SVO. Besides, only 47 sage Green SVO Mustangs were ever built. If the 73 does not count, substitute the 7 Up Special edition convertible. 5 odd, really rare green Mustangs...and the perhaps only kind of Green cars our own Ocnblu can approve of!

Car number 4 will be a Q code 351 4V Mustang convertible from 1973. Here I cheat because it is a special production run rather than a special edition per we. After Ford Built the first last 1973 Mustang Convertible, demand caused them to re start convertible production for a brief production run. This car would be from that brief, final run. 1973 was the last year for Mustang convertibles for about a decade. The 1973 Mustang should be dark green color code 4Q. Black top and interior.

1966 Sprint 200 fastback is Turquoise and very, very rare. Ford Built the Sprint 200 special edition as a celebration of the millionth mustang, a handful of fastbacks were built. One of my fellow club members had one when I was part of the Classic Mustang Club of Central Ohio. Wild guess would be that maybe six still exist, I could be wildly wrong about that. Only about six and a half thousand 66 Mustang fastbacks supposedly still exist.

Next car up is a 1969 Mach 1 in either Poppy Green or Champagne Gold. While not quite a factory special edition...the Poppy Green was a run of ten cars for Russ David Ford. They did a ten car short limited edition run. This was done to promote the dealership's racing team. Champagne Gold was going to be a special edition color for the Mach 1 But Ford decided to allow it on other Mustangs as well. A very, very rare car is a GT fastback for 1969 in Champaign Gold. I guess you said special edition so we will go with Poppy Green. 1969 was a very low production year for the GT package, as the Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 429 overshadowed the GT as a performance car.

Looking forward to it. My number two list just for the heck of it is going to cheat like crazy and feature only oddball Mustangs. Car number one will be a 1968 High Country Special, much is just like a California Special but much more rare with only two hundred plus built. Keep the J code 302 4V V8 and match it with a four speed top loader please. Also make this car highland green, like the Mustang in Bullet.

I make the same argument about vintage racing. I used to flag and do corner work at Mid Ohio. Once saw a real vintage Shelby Mustang and one of the actual Aero Monte Carlos raced by Dale Earnhardt collide and wind up in a tire wall. Both cars were rebuilt but that was painful to watch. Check out touring car masters on YouTube, it is an Australian vintage series that suppors the V8 super cars and the like. Good racing!

I will continue with the California special edition....68 California special Mustang.....V8, 302 J code 302 4V.... 2016 Launch Edition Miata.... 1997 type R Miata as an autocross car.... 2017 series yellow BRZ....http://www.subaru.com/2017-brz-series-yellow 1969 SC rambler A edition because I feel like something funky. I would take a Spirit LHD FD RX7 but sicne there is only one in the world and Mazda is not turning lose of it, it does not qualify as a regular production vehicle.
-
Indeed.....! At least if someone had made a race car out of it and it bought a concrete retaining wall at high speed....it would have had an honorable death....as it is,..ugh....
-
i doubt GM is cheating the liability would be obscene. IIRC the Colorado truck went through an additional three months or testing for the diesel just to prove that it was clean. Lots of VW TDI owners might want one...not sure what is going to happen.
-
Horrible waste of a car....Then again parts from it could be sued to rebuild another C5 Z06!
-
Agreed. My diesel Jetta has done over 60 (2015) this may well replace it in the fleet when vw buys the Jetta back. Volt is also still an option. Also hopefully GM actually markets this thing. they did very little to market the last Cruze diesel, which is why it had production numbers that rivaled the 2 door Pontiac Safari wagons from the 1950's.

Despite my seeming cynicism in the other thread, I adore the new Mustang and crave its good looks like I crave Oxygen. This is fantastic news, wonderful that Ford is so far ahead here. Compared to the dated and Stale 370Z, the Vaporware new Supra from Toyota, the over priced and overly engineered performance cars from people like Porsche...the Stang is SUCH a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting this, and LONG LIVE FORD AND THE MUSTANG! (You probably cannot tell that I enjoyed reading this!)
-
Love the Allante.
-
Agreed!
-
Volkswagen motors are often under rated in terms of both power and fuel efficiency. I once got over 60 miles to the gallon in the diesel Jetta, regularly get over fifty. And then there is that pesky bit about what tunes like APR do to VW motors in terms of performance...
-
And this is excellent, rational thinking. I wish I could up vote it ten times rather than just once. We need rational debate and thoughtful interaction. That being said, with Britain out of the EU and Germany as the most powerful member, i do wonder how much impact this will have on the other countries and on EU policy as a whole.
-
It may not happen all the way but chances are good for a significant transition. Agree completely with this!
-
The whole car looks fantastic. This is the inspiration I need to take better care of my own cars.
-
Without a doubt. this kind of dovetails with buying cars from companies where I am happy with their corporate culture. I really like VW products, but would be reticent to buy one as I dislike their internal corporate business ethics.
-
Possibly. It's also the easiest way to get into an Older TDI New Beetle-much more affordable than a Golf or Jetta. And fairly decent a reliable as cars go....
-
Could not finish watching it myself. ...not making any comments as I do not want to stir crap and get banned....
-
I would put up with it to own that truck though. Body shop could fix that quick...but yes, you should not have to deal with that on a new vehicle. -
A lot of us have owned quite a few vehicles.

I feel just the opposite. Fossil fuels are inherently dirty and nasty, and Europe has a high population density. This is infinitely rational. It would also be really nice if the Untied States would follow suit. Allow older ICE cars to still roam, but everything sold from 2029 onward must be electric. Grandfathering in the older stuff would ensure no ones essential rights to drive their current car were violated, and it would also get us away from importing oil-a huge source of our trade deficit. Do not want this sent off to politics, but so very tired of personally supporting other countries every time I fill up.

This thing will be the mess that just does not stop being painful
