the convertable mustang was without any question the worst handling car i have ever owned or driven..complete and utter piece of crap..ford do nothing to strenghten the underside on their verts...every bump would shake the entire car...going round corners was very scary.
peeps dont ever buy one ok..stick with the coupe

Muscle cars have always run deep in my family but always too poor to do it.
I will never give up my dream of owning a circa '64 Plymouth Valiant 2-door just like this one.

Drew did you bring them over from the UK or bought them in Sweden

£8k (+20% value added tax, if using registered contractor) would buy approx. 100 sq. mts, including dig out, kiln dry sand, tampering etc.
And your paving does look a brilliant job  :D

Yep but we never got the 2-door. I love the AP-5/6 too.

Is that like what Jim Richards races in the Masters?
