Poll: Which Ford? (3/16/2026)

@gdh I have owned a '65 2&2 and a '66 coupe and LOVED both of them, plus I have driven every year up to '72.  My favorites (not incl. Shelbys) are the '66 2&2 GT and the '69 Mach I.  The ultimate '66 for me would be the Hertz.

Favorite Shelbys are the '66 GT350 and the '67 GT500

@jack-dodds  I hung around with the older guys, the ones with cool cars, and among some very nice rides were two fastbacks and a convertible, and the convertible was early 1965, if memory serves me.

Not ever really being a Mustang fan, just looking at the three years, the '69 has the best roof-line and I like the Black stripe front to back on the sides of the car.  I guess the '70 would be next as it's close to the '69 in style.  And the '71's roof-line doesn't grab me at all.  

'69, '70, '71.

Gents, thanks for your replies.

‘69 is my choice. I prefer the 4headlights design and the reflective body stripes. The ‘70 is second and I’d never consider the ‘71 as it’s too big for me. Thanks John !

Steve, The '71 Mustang Mach 1 appears to be larger, but the specs are very close. In inches:

          Wheel Base      Length    Width    Height   Weight lbs

1969        108             187.4      70.2      50.5        3200

1970        108             189.2      70.2      51.0        3238

1971        109             189.6      75.0      50.5        3638

The '71 is a wider (and heavier depending on options) car, but essentially the same length and height.  Specs are for Mach 1.  Just some fun facts, nothing more. 😉

@pete-rovero I always realized that the '71 was a wider car than earlier models but 5 inches is quite a change indeed.  It appears I was mistaken thinking the '71 was also a much longer car....interesting!

@pete-rovero 

Thanks Pete. It just looks too big for me and I miss the curvy lines of the ‘69-70.
