In 1955 long before anyone 19 can remember, Ford brought out a 2 seat T-bird and they made very few Not because they couldn't make alot but because it was a new market segment! They eventually in only 3 years made the T-bird larger 4 seater and sales GREW! Yet the most sought after car is the 55-57 birds even though they're the worst seller! And not a great driver!!
Ford later came out with a 64 1/2 mustang they built over a million because of the popular demand!!! YET THEY changed the body anyway in just 2 years!!! The 67' didn't sell as good or any of the future Mustangs never as good as the 64-66 ones!!! Today people are still driving those 64-66 ponies yet they stop like crap and get 15 miles per gallon and don't really have a good air conditioner or power steering!!! You kids should not get hung up on just HP this car is UNIQUE and always will be!!! Long after production stops it (CROSSFIRE) will live on I believe!!!
