MUSTANG ALLEY

摘要

The pony car should be consigned to the glue factory, says Tuckey. FOR MANY YEARS, participants in the World Bullshit Championships have spread more effluent about the Ford Mustang than almost any other car. Mentioning Lee Iacocca's 'pony car' brings shrieks of joy from the populace, who include in their hymns of slobber the tyre-smoking racers of Ian Geoghegan, Allan Moffat and others, or Shelby versions. They forget that the first models were just rebodied Falcons. My mate Michael Browning, who specialises in such things for Shannons auctions, says the reality check is that these days the 1964-'66 models fetch from $30K to $50K He says they're easy to restore as there are plenty of parts available, right down to trims and electricals.
