If you and I were talking face to face, your dream car was parked on the street behind us, and I had the keys for it dangling from my outstretched arm, what would you pay to have it? To drive off in it right then and there?

I would have to vote for the 1967 GT 500 Fastback Mustang, better known to most these days as "Eleanor" featured in Gone in 60 Seconds.

This is the Mustang that I pined for when it first appeared in motor mags. All aluminum frame and shell. V-4 mounted midships. When the Mustang reached the showrooms, I was ready to buy my first new car and went to the nearest Ford dealership. Boy was I disappointed. It was my Falcon hidden in a fancier shell. Same frame. Same suspension. Same 144 ci 6cyl. Mine was more powerful and faster because I had modified it. Still, I wanted a test drive. The salesman looked at me like I had two heads. Why? No one else wanted a test drive. They wanted a Mustang! The dealership had been taking orders and deposits for 6 months, sight unseen, price unknown. Still, I wanted a test drive. So, they borrowed the salesmanager's and I made it one block. The rear axle went into the familiar Falcon hop when I tried a panic stop. I made a U-turn and took it back. No sale. I bought a 65 Mercury Comet Caliente V8, black with a red leather interior. Much sexier and much better.

Had a friend that had one. We discovered that if I leaned forward in the backseat, while the car was moving at highway speed, and then fell back hard into the seat, the car would lose about 5 mph in speed.

You know why the Yugo had a rear window defroster? So your you hands didn't freeze pushing that POS in the middle of winter.

My brother has a blue fat boy that's about 7 years old...I don't think he's ridden it in 2 years or more!
