IMO, 1970 was the last of the great ones-'til the latest (5th) gen's hit the market. (although i'm not a fan of the 2010 TL's)
i'm hoping i can find my '70 Boss 429 in Grabber Orange before i get too old to enjoy it.

i've luv'd that car since i built a model of it-in the exact same clour combo-when i was 13 or 14. Grabber Orange, black Shaker hood, black window louvers. oooOOOO baby!
still have the model.
while there were 869 Boss 429's made for '69, '70 only had 499.
i definately pick the harder to find ****, that's for sure!
saw one about 9 months after he released the first one. definately worth the extra $28K (US) @ the time to get the upgrade.

The newest gen mustangs make me wanna vomit. The weight of new vehicles and the taillights on the new gen just makes me wanna scratch out my eyes. The new 5.0 may be a BA motor but I stick a BA motor in a bloated pig of a car it is still a bloated pig. I will stick to my trans ams and if all goes well I will have another poncho machine gracing my stable, manual at that hehe.

^^^So what your saying is if ford or any car comp. Put 400hp into lets say a dodge omni it would be badass???? The other guy is right so what if it has the h.p if it dont look good it would be no better than having 400hp in a ford fiesta lol

no, you're not! i had a '82 Omni HB, w/VW 1.6L & a 4 speed stick in it. could pull 65 km/h in 1st gear-with 3 other people in it! (no wonder i broke so many of my rides............)
anyways!................GLH actually stood for "Goes Like Heck". rumor has it, that Iaccoca actually tried to bully the legal department into putting the "Goes Like Hell" term into the advertising, but they played hard ball with him, and won.
but in the end, he really did win. look @ all the amazing vehicles to come out because of him.

While watching Hot Rod TV the other night they did a special on Carol Shelby. He left Ford to follow Lee Iaccocoa because he didn't like Bunky Knudsen despite his liking Ford over Chrysler. Where it not for Shelby the Dodge Omni GLH (among others) wouldn't exist. In addition when the reporter asked him what he thought would happen to the car market in the future (i don't remenber the exact amount of time) Carol answered that most people would probably go back to driving small cars. Said that he had a lot of fun working on them in the past and would love to do another one.
