Your dream stang?
Hey guys, mostly everyone (but me
) has a stang, and accordingly their own dreams to go with it.
I was wondering what yours is!
Mine is:
66 coupe
Nightmist Blue
Pony emberglo / parchment interior
Supercharged 351w
10.5 inch wheels out back, probably the torq thrust like on bullitt
Built like a hot rod for donuts, burnouts, and rice eating!

RE: Your dream stang?
If we are talking the genuine article then I dream about a Shelby 1965 GT350R if I had the $$$
If I had an unlimited build budget...
1966 fastback with functional shelby fiberglass hood and the perspex in the rear vent slots like the 66 shelbys. White. No rattles. No rust!
Wheels - I'd stick with a classic look TTd's or mag500's or even superlites but in a 16x8 front, 16x9 rear.
Engine - 408W with enough torque down low to poke around in traffic but willing and eager, almost demanding youto rev to 7000. Maybe 650hp??? Torque on tap from 1200 - 6990!! Capable of 9's, top speed of 170mph and still stable.
Exhaust - still in design but leaning toward tri-y headers, 2 1/2" twin,Xpipe, to 3" turn downs at the rear valence. LOUD when under the hammer, deep at idle, generally menacing, sets off car alarms(but not outrageous when cruising).
Gearbox -5 speed PPG dog box for clutchless shifts but retaining the orig 66 shifter with the reverse lockout (dont ask me why, I just like it in preference to the Hursts etc.)
Rear - 9", 31 spline full floating billet axles, detroit truetrac, 3.55 gears
Brakes - Willwood 4 or 6 pot fronts (biggest I can get under the 16's), 4 pot rears, vented/ slotted lightweight willwood rotors, greenstuf or redstuff pads for the street, change out to Ferodos when i go to the circuit.
Suspension and steering - full Koni adjustable coil over, watts link rear, subframe connectors, torque boxes, rack and pinion p/s, any other improvement I can come up with. Lowered but sitting level.
Interior - Black. Custom dash using maybe stuart warner, smiths or vdo guages to retain classic style (I'm a bit over Autometer), race seats and harnesses, half cage (cos i wont be using the back seat), A/C, nice sound system hidden. All very neat and purposeful. Nymphomaniac 6' supermodel with pnuematic airbags as a passenger for cruising.
I have spent wellover $100,000 on this car in my mind! Itexternal appearance isclose to stock with some tasteful mods. It too will eat rice but by time they figure out whats going on it will be too late and they will be lost, defeated and demoralisedin the fog of my tyre smoke!

RE: Your dream stang?
my dream simply to own one, i didnt have too much of a preference, i started looking forA 67 coupe, but couldnt find one, then went to a 68 cause they were basically the same, couldnt find one, then i was looking for a 69 fastback, any engine, a 6 wouldve done fine, but i found a 69 coupe and now i will be driving my dream car soon, just some paint and a few trips to the shop and my dream car with all my mods will be done!
