  • I had the pleasure of exploring a 40 year old collection of Rare Mustangs I ran across. The 85 year old man was not only generous but full of great stories and even allowed me to make an offer on a Fastback.
    You don't want to miss this episode of Lost and Found Classics. There's a few really RARE Mustangs on the property we will explore towards the end of the video. I think you'll have a good time and feel my own excitement as you watch.

      I heard in "2025" they're going to start making the Mustangs the old school look, Like A reproduction 60's Mustang also the Fastback and convertible with a lot of horsepower..I had a Ford pickup truck 1971 with a 390 motor..That Motor was a real Beast it even sounded great even in a pickup truck..Also had an 80s Mustang 5.0 with 700 horsepower..Can't wait to see if they do come out with the old school Mustangs in 2025= Big-Bucks-💰💰

I had a 1967 fastback with a 289cu dark blue with two tone blue that same year. We were the only ones in high school that year with fastback mustangs at Maplewood in Nashville. Tn.

In 82 I bought a new Capri RS 5.0 out of the Mercury showroom and it's my daily driver for 42 years. I wasn't going to make that mistake again.

Couple of good sales and he could have a nice steel builfing garage or pile barn to put them in.
