My wife had a Camero and a guy hit her at a stop light with his 65 Mustang and it tore the front end of the Mustang up. The Camero had a broken tail light. I'll Take the Camero
Sorry folks, but the 1967 mustang fastback beats them all. The superb form of that automobile was pure poetry, to look at and to drive. I sometimes still daydream about cruising down US 1 from Ft Bragg to Jenner....
"Price wise too, the older Mustangs back in the 60's & 70's on base line cost more then the average Camero. That has always been Ford's down fall over the years. Cevrolet has always out sold them becuase Ford always charged too much for what they had."

gave thye Company yto the U*NIO)NS..
I bought 2 66' Mustangs In Aug 66' A 289 stick $2,450.00 and a 6 cyl stick 2,175.00.. [8D][8D]
I thought the mustangs were always under priced back then..
for $2,1

I bought a yellow '69 Boss 302 off the showroom floor three days after I got out of the Navy in Nov. 1969 for $3225. It DID attract the attention of the ladies. (and the cops)[}:)]
Kept it until Feb. 1971 when the wife got two speeding tickets.
The guy who bought it totaled it out three months later and stayed in the hospital for 7 weeks. You could barely tell what it was after flipping end over end for 150 yards.
Not surprised. Ak Miller took a stock 70 BOSS (3.00 gears) to Bonneville and set the class speed record at over 190 mph (which still holds) and I had 3.91 gears in mine stock (5.43 while drag racing) and the last time I out ran the cops we figured my speed at 155+ w/o considering tire expansion.[;)]

I guess I am fortunate to have lived thru the era of aspirated ( carburator's ) muscle. I have owned Hemi's, Boss Mustangs, 427 Camaro's, BB Chevelle's, Roadrunners, Cobra Torino's, BB Corvettes, Nova's, 442's, Grand Sport Buicks, almost anything that had muscle. I loved them all. Todays cars are not tuned like old school cars where you tweak the carbs to run on octane that will make your eyes tear up at the exhaust. Tuned just right when that happens. We had carbs, distributors with dwell, timing. Todays cars are set up with computer tunes that plug in. Big deal. However todays cars will actually run faster than all that HP muscle I grew up with. Tires, fuel injection , less weight all make the new stuff go faster. I also will say, I have judged car shows a plenty. No one has anything better than anyone else. If you think you do, you need to get out of the hobby. There may be rare cars and rare cars are a joy to view but respect someone elses car because they like it. If they like it , I do too. aside any Jap junk. Jap junk don't show up to car shows, least any I have ever been to.
this much we have in common and I agree...an average volvo will flash the lights quicker than a BB chevelle and I know my 2001 camaro SS would have beaten any 1st gen camaro I had.
As for this yenko arguement. The is a difference between Yenko camaros and COPO...COPO stands for central office production order. they were factory cars sold at limited dealerships. Others did build their own. Yenko and Baldwin chevrolet are the best known. Have you ever seen a Baldwin motion Camaro or Chevelle?
I put about 1k mile a year on this old worn out original painted 16K mile 30th annniversary 1997 SLP SS. She has a 6 speed and gets 28mpg. Did I mention she wears a rare hardtop.

I love both of these cars but I have to say, IMO the `69 Camaro is the pinicle of American car design
'69 Camaro superior to '69 Mustang? You're obviously a Communist! [:D]
'69 Mach I was the baddest factor muscle car ever produced!
Both are nice and all, but the Charger takes the cake.
Them Duke boys are at it again...
Mustang? Camaro?

I never took the camaro home, I sold it the same night.
