@racerboyroy That certainly wasn't the response I was expecting! Why would you post this ad if you had no appreciation for older cars? I have never driven an older car? Really? I drive a 1965 Oldsmobile every day to work, thank you very much!! I'm well aware of the "improvements" of the newer cars. Yeah, they have more conveniences and are theoretically safer, but the old ones have true style and more personality. I'm not impressed with today's offerings at all. I'd certainly never buy one.

@njot3 I posted the ad because the old muscle cars are beautiful and it is rare to see these old commercials. In comparison the new cars drive and handle like race cars compared to the old muscle cars.

This was when ALL the cars were awesome! Sorry, but new cars suck. Nothing built now can equal the old stuff. Though admittedly the new Mustang comes close.

[racerboyroy]

@njot3 The new cars stop quicker, accelerate faster in most cases, have way more top speed and drive like a race car compared to the old cars. You have obviously never driven these old cars or the new cars. Also with a new car you could have a bad crash and walk away. A lesser crash in the older car would kill you........................ The old muscle cars are beautiful but they drive and stop poorly, get terrible gas milage and they are not as safe.

@njot3 "nothing built now can equal the old stuff" The new cars would would lap the old cars all day long on a race course.

"Only mustang makes life great." have truer words ever been spoken?

I just bought a 68 wish it was a fast back but its a coupe but for $1800 it runs and drives great! With a little work it will be my daily driver!

Old cars have a soul, new cars have performance...

My grandpa gave me his 68.. Now I just need to get it up and running.. I'm so excited I wanna drive it already

OMFG... I had a twin brother that worked together, to get that 1968 mustang.

Ours was a 390 stock engine, convertaible, only 14 were made. I love this car!

i want that as a ringtone now

obviously no one has ever driven a mustang on this page. Everybody saying they drive like shit is dead wrong. Sure, they dont stop as fast. Cool story. But you can't ever say a modern car is faster than one of these. I've driven a brand new mustang camaro and challenger. I also drove a 69 mustang with a 302. For you dumbshits out there thats a generally small engine. It was faster and more responsive than anything the modern designers could ever dream of. So quit ur bitchin and get a life.

God, how I would LOVE to go back in time and buy a '68 Fastback brand new... and only drop $2,000 doing it.

Debates these days typically follow an "all or nothing" formula... meaning people on both sides equally hates the other. Things in life are hardly ever as black and white.

I can say that I love the old muscle the best, but today's cars most certainly do not suck. There are a lot of great rides out there. No need to be all or nothing with the debates here.

@racerboyroy ... while I agree largely (and mildly disagree) with njot3, you are correct in your statement as well. Today's cars handle better and offer less-interrupted smooth driving than the old ones.

There are many new vehicles I like, but these old muscle cars are the pinnacle of automaking. True style indeed, and an overabundance of power that today's vehicles can't touch.

I feel old muscle connoisseurs are mostly correct, but I disagree with those who say "today's cars suck."

Great old commercial! Not only nice footage of classic Mustangs, but catchy jungle too! I'm lucky to drive a '11 GT but would love to have a nice '65-68 'Stang as well. Appreciate the post! (any possibility to repost the commercial at a better 360 or 480 quality?)
