DO NOT sell your 69 stang for a CRX. honestly, thats the ONLY ford i would EVER own, and i'd KILL for one.


get a 2nd job and buy a Rex with that. then quit :D

get an Si 4sure, id say keep ur stang but if u wana sell it, its up to u. the dx is not worth gettin, i waited until i found an Si...and i got an 88' Si which is the lightest Si...u could get an HF. but u would only have about 60-68hp as the Si has 108. if u jus want a crz as a beater get an HF GAS SAVER! but an Si is whats worth gettin

i ono crap about stangs but if everyone says its nice keep it, you can find a clear title hf for cheap, and you know eventually your going to want to get a new motor. Cause weither its the si or hf motor, your still not gona have much hp. and if you plan on swapping why spend more on a sunroof unless you really want the sunroof. otherwise get the hf, save gas money which = money for a swap.

Dude your stoned. KEEP THE MUSTANG. The you can be like my brother and law and I. We both have 91 CRX's and we both have 65 Mustangs. If you sell you Mustang for a CRX you will kick yourself in the nuts. And if you don't I will personally lodge my size twelve between your testies!

The only Rustangs worth having are the early "80's SVO's( i beleive 84-86could be wrong) , and the 03-04 Cobras. Everything else is junk sell that crap and buy a CRX or three.

are you kidding me?! the term "rustang" ORIGINATED in the 80s! Man, anything after '69 started to become JUNK. Even the early 70s models were terrible compared to the '67-69 stangs. the ONLY stang worth owning is something from '67-'69, preferably something Shelby!

that and the '69s are PRICELESS. so hard to find, especially if its in good condition. I mean, you can get alot of money for that car... But you'll never find another one, and you'll kick yourself for it later.

Yeah I agree with everyone except...my mustang is all primer..its not original by any means..it was a 6cyl now its got a brand new 351W with a T-5 trans..motor has lots of work done to it except the rear is super tall .273 haha..so its not fast ..so its not like i have this pretty 69 mustang..its all primered and dented. However it really has like no rust. Someone is coming to look at it tomorrow he offered me 5200...i might take it

Who the F*ck cares what it looks like you better keep it dude...one word RESTORATION!

&lt;---Is Mustang fanatic. Any year except the Mustang II's.

CRXBart is my good friend, 2fast4udede it was mostly likely a jab at me on the Rustang part. Where are Bart would trade a Mustang for 3 CRX's I would trade 3 CRX's for a Mustang.

However when Bart's butt got planted in a new Cobra he called me and couldn't stop talking about it....Bart am I converting you?....as your sickness and Brian's sickness wore off on me.

i gotta agree w/ toad, in saying REGARDLESS of what it looks like, keep it. keep it and get it back to original.. dont sell that ****, you're gonna regret it.

i'm a GM guy, but in all honestly, i'd take a '69 stang over ANY other car without ANY thought. original or not. if it wasnt original, just means its more work

You wouldn't trade 3 crxes for a 'stang. The honda addiction is too far along on you now. It's gonna take a 12 step program now. See I'm addicted to 2 things, Hondas and cars that handle, are powerful and drive well, obviously thats why I like the Cobras and SVOs, best designed Mustang suspensions ever, and the Cobra is the fastest Stang. Never really been a Ford fan, but I like the fore mentioned and the PSDs. Better come home before the salt hits the road, the Cobra is gonna be gone by spring and replaced with a E46 M3.

Back on Topic, Sell the Ferd, buy some Honduhs.

There is nothing like a Camaro to make a mustang owner cower in fear and shame ( I know this feeling, and I like showing my superiority over those retarded 5.0 owners). Even though this seems like a good idea, the 69 does deserve respect and honor regardless of manufacturer and condition.

Keep the 'Stang, and buy a beater Si to fix up. There is no excuse good enough to validify getting rid of a classic for a somewhat modern pocket rocket.

no no keep the stang but if gas mileage is an issue then i see where your going alot of people have had to make changes, but you can find a way better bad *** car with the money youll get from the stang than a rex that is still pretty fuel economic. ITR teggy or somthing. or is a rex is REALL truely what u want. SI is where its at. MAKE SURE ITS CLEAN THO!!
