15-20 GT350 Timeless Design

[Frank.Herbst]

The more I see the new GT500 I'm liking the GT350 styling more. I get it, the GT500 is more aggressive but for me the GT350 has a cleaner look that just might stand the test of time better.
My service advisor asked me when I was trading in my 350 for a 500. I told him "I like my 350".

Yup, if you google there are tons of articles on how special the 350 is and it's the end of an era. Love my 350 - just something about the look, the Tremic 6 speed plus 8250 red line. And the best part - the pink slip.....

I miss my 350 Track Pack, sold her for 40K in 2 days with 13K miles. But.......... don't underestimate the GT500, its a whole different
animal. If I had a 3 car garage I would still have my 350.

My hunch is that both the GT350 & GT500 current models will stand the test of time but will still remain one step behind the first & second generation 65' thru 70' Mustangs. The early Mustangs still are so desirable & carry quite a price tag in comparison to their original selling price. Only time will tell & most likely the grandsons will be the caretakers of our 350.

Not so sure about that, with the latest offerings. Do not remember when the current body style came along. Myself took notice of the Mustang ruffly 5 years ago.

The 2020 for me was irresistible, now owning one, just plain jazzed. Everything about it, speaks to a very refined HotRod.


65 Mustang was a sport car body siting on a Ford Falcon suspension . I do understand the attachment. Think this latest Mustang will be a much more desirable 50 years down the road.
Seen the highly sot after 56 Thunderbird. 1970, 100K today for 48K, that's a pounding hard fall.

I’m definitely on the side of the 350 looking better than the 500. I don’t hate the 500, but i think the front end along with the fender vents make the 350 much better looking

I'm not with you. I love my GT350 design, but I think the new 500 front end looks much better.

I totally understand. I much rather my 350 than a 500. But, if prices come down a little bit, I don't see any harm in snagging one up at a decent price. But, got to have room and not looking to get rid of the 350R.

I agree, the fender vents are a small item but they look good and it seems they should help get the air pressure out of the fender well.

I don't hate the 500 either, it's a great car. The front is just a little to 'open' for me.

I’m biased towards the 350. Not towards design but towards the engine and transmission.
I really do like the design of both and think the designers did a good job with the not so subtle design differences.

The GT350 is such a complete package. I’m sure the 500 is fantastic, but my eyes have yet to wander over there since this beast is all I need at the moment.

Could not have stated that any better... it's an opinion, but I 100% agree.
The 500's are a beast and will walk all over our 350's, but I love my 350....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The GT350 definitely broke ground and the GT500 took the baton and ran, really fast, with it. Having had both I can honestly say I like....both.

I'm just glad they haven't been killed off yet by those who believe they "know better."

Personally more a fan of the 2012-13 Boss 302 front end especially the headlight area, slightly recessed, more square. Less "stylish", would kind of break up the bulletness (is that even a word) of the GT350. But...happy with my 350!
