Now you got the new 5.0 which is only 302 ci with 400 hp or more.
In 64' it was a 260. The next years 289 came in a HIPO form with a whopping 271hp! Lol

What I'm saying is the cars have become more powerful as technology has improved. You can't say they don't have any muscle to them, they're affordable, fast, and sexy cars, and that's what a muscle car is all about.

Theres no real such thing as a 1964 Mustang. The Mustang wasnt released until late 1964 therefor it was actually a 1964 1/2 and they were packaged with a 289 v8. Just not as many as the 260. Even some in 1965 were packaged with the 260 but most with the 289.

My dad has a 64.5 with a 289 matching numbers

I'm aware of the half year thing. I was just saying, first year vs present it's still the same DNA, but it's grown with the times according to what people wanted

Im not disagreeing with you Browning. I wouldnt buy a 08- newer Mustang. I think they are hideous. And if I were to buy a mustang of the similar body style it would be the gt 500. But Ill stick with the 64.5-70's models or the 87-93's.
