Instead of those other converts which were depressing me and making me think of this

How about this beauty. Man they are as nice or nicer than they ever have been

I just got a new 10 Mustang GT coupe. Of the 8 Mustangs I have had since 66, this is the best. It is even quieter, handles better, and quicker than the 05 I had. The way they changed the dash makes it much nicer.

I like the headlight brow giving the car a angry look. I agree that the 2010 is better eye candy than before. Suttle chages make it sweet and I would love to have one. But I am an old Mopar guy and want a new Challenger too.

I like the sequentials on the 10s. Wish they still made cougars

That looks metallic though. What a nice stance.

I like the Grabber Blue, like the sequential tail lights.
Other than that I like the 05 better - you can get a sequential tail light kit for them too.
I'll take another one just like this thank you - I'll add Le Mans stripes in charcoal this time though.

if you do read the bottom of that page it says they almost called the mustang the t-5... they actually did call them t-5 i have worked on one. it was a 66 or 67 and it was a mustang but didnt say mustang anywhere on it. instead of mustang emblems it had a big t with a 5 laid over it and if i remember right it has a crown or sumthin made into the emblem, they told my to be extra careful with the emblems, i guess you cant getem at all, period.
oh and for those wondering it was a car built for the german(? i think)market and they already had a bike with the mustang name so instead of buying it out they renamed it... if i remember all thins right.

Thanks for sharing this bit of Mustang (oops T-5) history.
