It's amazing how much this one looks like the old one from the 60s.

however the 1967 model sits up a little higher. Road in one way back 'when' with an acquaintance, and after moving, flooring the pedal would snap your head back.

Original 1967 Mustang Exactly like the one I owned. It says maroon, but the original color is Candy Apple Red.
My Mustang Poor picture, but all thats left of the memories. Very fast easy to handled car. Shes up in Mustang Heaven now

I've never really been into ''sporty'' cars so much. In the 80's I had a 1966 Galaxie 500 convertible, black with red and white interior. Had a 390 I think. I loved it but not a very practical car in New York City in the mid-80s.
Looked a lot like the one on this page. I'm tempted to get another one.
For an old car it had a beautiful ride and was extremely powerful. Not so economical though.

...who had one of the first Mazda Miatas. He went on and on about the car, and I agreed that it was nice. then, I asked him what he paid for it. He said that he'd paid $22,000 for it against a sticker of $15,500.
Let's see...he paid $6,500 over sticker for a car that at the minute he rolled it off the lot depreciated by at least $2,000. Sorry, that does not compute.
Besides, I can do that in the tech industry for a lot less money; all I have to do is be an early adopter of any new gadget, or as one friend calls them, ''second stage beta testers.''

knew a guy who bought a Pontiac Fiero (sp?) lost half of its value driving off the lot

Knew someone that bought one of the first Miatas. I suppose if you're in the income bracket where it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, but I gotta figure most in that area are buying the classic car and fixing it to mint or something new & sporty in an entirely different price bracket.
I think it only took about 5 years for Miatas to become "midpriced" cars in the Mazda line!
