It's #1, great. Put it back on the podium. There are things that should not be sold. I firmly believe this is one of them. #fordmustang

Agreed... This should live in a museum, like Notchback #10 back in Germany. #fordmustang

How's THAT for perspective. #fordmustang

How's that for a different perspective?
Even better, 100 acres for me and the wife, 100 acres for each kid, another 100 acres for the in-laws kids, etc until we hit the $3M mark.
Way more useful than a Veyron. And there's still money left over for play tractors and a few project cars. #fordmustang

No more front wheel drive.
No more automatic transmission.
No more pansy 4 cylanders.
I am America, my tank is full. #fordmustang

On the other hand, for five and a half cool ones, you could have a helluva weekend in Vegas... #fordmustang

Over on the tractor side of the aisle, I find the occasional big four. Going far back you find over 300ci in a four cylinder. A couple of old poppin' Johnny Deeres still rockin' the old two-cylinder had 360ci in just two jugs. Man, what an exhaust note that is. And when you load it up and the governor opens the carb, the engine digs deep as it bears down: chuggita, chuggita, chuggita,..chugga! chugga! chugga! ...chu-WHOMP. chu-WHOMP. chu-WHOMP.
I love tractors. I love cars. I love the way they move me, not just in the driver's seat but the way they move me as part of the environment. Each cylinder hits, and you can feel it in your chest, a thump that has escaped the iron heart of the beast. If that isn't awesome, in the old sense of the word, I don't know what is. #fordmustang

Vegas, gag. Take the five point five mill, fly into Vegas. Wait for the next plane leaving, going anywhere.
Fly back out. Now you can say you came away from Vegas with over five million dollars. There is nothing in Vegas I want, want to see, or want to participate in.

This guy has been trying to sell this thing for outrageous money for several years. He needs to move the decimal place one to the left at least. #fordmustang

They forgot to say "First owner was Ralph Nader"
He had the seatbelts put in.....you know, to avoid that big "Unsafe at any speed" thing for Ford. #fordmustang

Seat belts added, wrong radio (AM/FM was not available) and a few other glaring details... (like, they couldn't bolt the Rally-Pac on straight?) For this kind of pipe-smoking price, this should be a 100-point showpiece. #fordmustang

Next thing you know, we'll see the first known Pinto, the first known diesel Chevette, and the only still-running diesel conversion Eldorado pulling in six-figure prices.
At least GM didn't downsize the 350 to 4.1L, then add V8-6-4 technology, then convert it to diesel. The "you're walkin' " trifecta. #fordmustang

I like Mustangs a lot, but not to the tune of $5.5 million. #fordmustang

It belongs in a museum! #fordmustang

At 1/10 the price, it would still be too pricy, but at least I could see the justification. I wouldn't even question the buyer's sanity if it sold for over a million, but at 5.5 million dollars, I think (hope) that the seller is being grossly optimistic. #fordmustang
