This is the only model I'd be interested in buying. Just because of high school nostalgia. But even then, I'd think about putting in a RWD drietrain...
Perhaps an "old mechanics tale" but I thought I've read Mustangs were originally intended to be for women. Hence, "pony car" as opposed to "muscle car" of the same era. |

I'd totally rock the pink Mustang if that Tussy girl came with it. Wonder what she looks like now....

honestly can't remember where I read it and too lazy to search. I believe it said when the first 911 came out in 1964, it was marketed to a female audience

https://www.afr.com/business/why-por...20120606-jze45 The 911 was made as a more powerful, more luxurious and more roomy successor to the 356. That doesn’t really sound like it appeals to women, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was marketed to American women in the past considering many men were more into muscle cars in the past than small, European roadsters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911

Maybe he got confused with the first ever production Porsche 911 that was bought by a woman named Jolanda Tschudi.

Actually, I think it was the 914 that was intended for a female audience. A former co-worker who was really into 914s and spent years and $$$ restoring one told me that once...

Could be, but I remember reading that about the 911 specifically. I can't remember which magazine - evo, octane or motorsport. Maybe the victory by design porsche episode. One of those.
