I'll exclude the Boss 302's and 429 and the CJ's....I think they fall in the obvious choice, super musclecar category with the Shelbys.
Ok in that case mine would have to be the 1967 Fastbacks.

IMHO I think the rumored "golden mustang" would be the best. Supposedly Ford make 1 or 2 mustangs believed to be the 1,000,000th mustang made in 66. I would love to discover it was mine, but im pretty sure it aint...

The most desirable stang for me can change every few minutes. It is usually one I see either at a car show or on the road... that I do not own!

But when I see another, all of a sudden, I have a new "most desirable"!

I lik them all but prefer the original fastbacks, and that's why I drive one, not the other way around. Second, I think the '69-'70s are a sharp looking car. I really don't care for what I consider the exaggerated look of the '67-'68s.

I feel the original fastbacks are the cleanest design. The way the roof line has a "bubble" effect as opposed to the coupe's more formal roof line is one reason why. The fact that the fastback portion ends before reaching the edge of the taillight panel, producing a small flat trunk is another. The overall smaller size of the car is a third. All in all I consider the first fastbacks to be one of the best looking cars ever designed.

No one has mentioned convertibles. There is nothing better on a clear Spring day than a 'vert with a good looking girl in the passenger seat. Any year is fine, I prefer '67.
