    and, the Monaro is, dare I say it, quicker than the 260 and much more tunable engine.

    But, for what you get for your money - I still love the 260.

    current shape mustang you can get for about 11k I have seen? but they are STILL live rear axle unless you get the shelby top of the range jobbie.

    Indeed, one day I'll have me a mid-sixties Mustang convertible 289 V8. Not for pace and handling, just classic good looks and style
