A Keeper

[LCK22GT]

Yes, at my age I plan to keep it, at least until I get to the point where driving a clutch is a problem. Even then, I will probably keep it and let the nephews and grandkids drive it. I have no desire whatsoever for a S650. The video screen dash is a complete turn off and I can think of dozens of things I'd rather layout $60 - 80K for.

Forever is a long time. I usually get in and out of cars every 4-5 years. I’m approaching 4 years on my GT and I do love it. Looked at trading it for a Mach a few times but just couldn’t do it.

I will definitely keep it longer than I usually do, there are other cars I want to add to the stable at some point too. C7 Vette, S550 GT500 are a couple. If this 4 door Mustang sedan comes to fruition, I could see myself getting one for daily duty. C8 Vette’s are kinda boring to drive. Wouldn’t mind a Dark Horse SC but I do have a thing for the Shelby name which is why I’d go S550 GT500 over Dark Horse SC.

Electronics is the biggest concern with any modern car. There’s lots of S550’s out there, so finding replacements shouldn’t be too hard for a while. And there will continue to be aftermarket support for certain parts for a long time. Just look at the aftermarket parts available for Foxes, SN’s and S197’s.

Long winded way of saying mine will be around for a while yet, but likely not forever. It’s one of, if not the best car I’ve owned to date though. Had an F body Camaro SS that was a blast for the time period (sounded great with Flowmaster exhaust as well), as was my supercharged Monte Carlo SS. A C7 Vette still calls my name though…

Keeping my '22 GT for the foreseeable future, I had a '16 previously. From the Tri-bars to the dual cowls, to the presence of physical AND touch screen controls just to name a few. I've always liked the s550 style.

I have a 2011 V6 and a 2015 GT pp and they are both staying and if I can get my hands on a GT 500 or Mach1 I would own them as well. Also have 6 Harleys from 1974 to 2003 anniversary edition and a 2010 F150 Harley edition nothing is for sale. I am only 75 so I have lots of time to find more cars. My dream car is the GT 40. (all of them are Black)

Ford has given me no reason to "upgrade" my Mach 1 to anything on their dealer lots, so I'm keeping it.

Will keep my 2016 forever. At least I’d like to think so. Due to the sheer number of fools on the road two of my previous cars have been accordioned. I have no intention of letting it go.

This will be my last Mustang, purchased it a month ago on BaT.
I'm 70 now and it was a retirement gift to myself. My boys and I plan on enjoying this baby for many, many miles.
Previous Mustangs were a 1970 BOSS302 in 1972, another 70 BOSS302 in 1997, a 2007 GT500 in 2007, an unrestored 1965 289 Coupe in 2009 that I had fun restoring.

.....The S197 cars, 13-14 in particular, look a lot better.

Oh, that's a debate we should have. Pages and pages of it. Could go on forever.

Not sure it would go well for the S197 guys, on a S550 forum lol.
