How many GTs are Owned by Seniors?

[hlh1]

I've been driving Mustangs for a long time and at 60 I'm still driving them. Why stop now?

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 am 75 and my wife is 70.
We have owned high performance Mustangs and Lightnings since the late 80's.
Get weird looks and high 5's all the time.

Do you think there's a thread with a similar title over on the Corvette forum? :LOL:

On the Corvette forum the thread would be how many Corvettes are not owned by seniors.

What age does 'senior' begin? Or is it just a state of mind?

72 in November w/a 2019 Mustang GT PP2 + a few Steeda upgrades ... "Getting old is a fact of life, but getting old is merely a state of mine."
I also have a modified '98 GT + another '98 Mustang V6 that my sons & I have raced over the last few years in the WRL endurance series.
My 1st Mustang was a well prepped '65 GT in the late 1960s. Sadly, that one was stolen & stripped clean.

What age exactly is a senior?

It's when you stop matching every breath out w/a breath in!!!

59 here. My 2015 GT was an early retirement present. I’m cashing out at 62.

3 more years. I can see the finish line..

I am well into my "senior" years and have had 4 mustangs since then, two of which were GT500's....my present ride is a 2011 Shelby GT 500 convertible....ride on and make some noise!

Thanks! When I bought the 3000 I was reluctant to tell my late father about it; he was a master mechanic...

Funny, I started my apprenticeship as a mechanic when I was 17 then moved into the graphics and printing industry in my early 20's. I started my own company in '86 and I'm still running it. It's great to see so many people around my age, some even quite a bit older, who refuse to stop doing the fun stuff. My GT has the Recaro's and every time I hop in and hit the start button it's a buzz.

Just turned 53 this past April, does my GT count?

We will all join the senior club if we are lucky to live that long. I’m less than 3 years from 50. Having a hard time already though...with that five oh. .

Have I seen this car in San Diego County?

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

Beautiful. SVE SP2s?

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.

61 here, don't know if that counts as senior citizen. Traded in my 2006 Pontiac GTO for the 2018 GT. No contest between the two cars, luxury cruiser vs badass muscle car. That's my 2017 VW GTI in the background. Needless to say, I like to drive sporty cars, and the 2018 GT is more than remarkable in the later category!
