How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

[Eljay52]

Hi MidwayJ. Yes, LMR SP2 wheels in Matte Bronze. Good workmanship, good shipping boxes, good service so far.
These are a square setup, 10" wide, with 285/35R-19s tires from Nitto. Handles superbly. Corners hard, as hard as the last Corvette I drove on a track. Best of all, I can rotate the tires when the time comes.

Yep I just got LMR SVE 19x10 SP2 wheels with Nitto 555G2s all around. 305 in the rear and 285 in the front. Hooks way better than the stock Pirellis, sort of. Old guys rule. Kids are grown, finances are in order. I can spend a few car dollars now.

67 and love the rumble of my GT Premium; love pulling up next to some dweebs at a stoplight ( in their Prius or whatever) and nailing it with exhaust mode set to "Track" and drive mode in Sport plus. The older I get the younger I feel

Just turned 60 and bought a 727 Roush stage 2 Phase 2 with a 6 speed. I`m just outside of Chicago and almost every time I see a Vett there is a old guy driving it! First car was a 1968 GTO with duel 650 double pumpers, crowler cam and headers.

I'm new to this forum and going on 73. I just bought a white GT and as of tonight it has 420 miles on it.
I've been an SCCA member/racer, NHRA racer for over 40 years, built hot rods from the ground up and have had 6 Mustangs since the 70's. I sold my 2014 TrakPak and have regretted it for 3 years.

What and who’s considered a Senior, anyone over 21 or one who was alive when the Titanic sank?

Does 55 count as Senior?

Remember the good old days ?

I can remember when gas was .15 cents gallon, plus I have a shirt that says "older than dirt". I believe a senior is anyone 65 and older although SS says you eligible at 62...take your pick.

As a senior citizen I'm curious-how many other old guys are buying Mustang GTs? When I traded in my E350 (for my 19 GT) the look on the salesman's face was priceless.
I'm wondering how much of an anomaly I might be and if not, how many other "older enthusiasts" are enjoying their GTs?
I get questions constantly at the car wash (typically from Audi and Beemer owners) "Sir is that your car? How do you like it?" Translation - why the hell is an oldtimer like you driving that?
It's simple - you're never too old to enjoy a well balanced platform that brings a smile to your face each time you press that button. The active exhaust simply enhances the experience.

I'm 58, love this car ( it's my third Stang ) and will never out grow my need for speed. This one has a Roush stage II SC and steeda suspension. Just rips & corners great! I also have some bikes, had my RSV4 up to 178 the other day. You are never too old to have fun & live like you want.

Maybe so - I love the back roads & we ran out to Anza Borrego this spring

This is a great thread ! Can't believe how many fellow old hotrod guys I've found here. I love ya'll man. You 're still young, free, successful, strong & awesome. Now get your eyes checked before ya drive in the ditch

Hey Rover, I was just out there last Sat. I have a Buddy who just brought home a GT350R. Drop me a line some time & we'll go for a ride

It seems most of us seniors prefer to actually buy GT (versus EB).

EB? Are you kidding?

I had an 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe...about the same as an EB only 30 years ago.

62-65, cool I just turned 60 so here I come, I work as a Medical Tech and DD my 16 GT for work, ha work. Great thread, we OG do like our sportscars. My 1st was a 67 Camaro 2 speed "Powerglide" on the column. I enjoy the twisty's and "light to light" action, sometimes. I did a 50 roll with a 370Z and after 70 it was bye bye. I don't drive at night much anymore but the days are real fun, Cheers to all these OG's.

I’ll be 57 this summer. Bought my 18’ GT PP1, A10, 301A, Magneride with Active exhaust last October. Added the digital dash and a few Steeda parts when I first bought it. I’m hoping to keep this one til’ I can’t drive any longer.

I spend my time off driving this and my 19’ HD Road Glide
