I think this is correct. The new Mustangs have so many improvements over the original ones. As Stef commented it would take a fair bit of work to get the classic Mustang into my comfort zone.
It is interesting to note. Around
1965 my dad took me to the Ford dealer in Oakville Ontario. They just got in a "just released" 65 Mustang fastback. It was in the show room and it was a piece of art. I told my dad he had to buy one. He said sorry, just not heavy enough for towing the 16' Mallard TT we had back then. He ended up buying a
1964 Dodge 440 with a 313ci.
