re: If you had to choose, which one would you restore? '67 Mustang Coupe or Fastback?

1000hp Honda Odyssey

Is this the thread where we post gratuitous pics of our rides?

I grew up sweeping floors and learning to build engine in Gene Fulton's and Budd Moore's shops. Gene's house/shop was (and still is) next door to house I grew up in. I simply have no delusions about old muscle cars, I built them, drove and raced them for much of my life.

Further, I am talking about showroom stock vehicles. You rarely see an old muscle car restored to stock. There is no question in the modern world they have far more potential than they did then. I would love to run my E46 M3 track car against either your Mustang or Fairlane, it is faster with a smaller engine while being set up primarily to stop and turn. Cars are just more efficient (that C6, for example, eats a ton of power, a built C4 is a much better option) today, even a stock Mustang GT runs high 11s and traps at about 120. Don't get me wrong I still love muscle cars but stock today's cars are just significantly quicker.
