Or Order a 2015 Mustang GT with these options:

Its got the Performance pack with a 6-Speed and Recaros.

Or I keep the Torino and keep building it up.

coyote swap the torino!

All three of those are totally legit options. The Boss will probably appreciate some time down the road, the new one will get you performance on the, relative, cheap with a factory warranty, and the Torino is fun and keeps cash in your pocket. It's down to what you want.

Cherry_man1 > DirtyBird

The Torino is Numbers matching.

Sack up and do what a real man would do! Ask your wife. Personally, I'd go Boss if I could just for the rarity factor but I don't mind hard plastics and a cheaper interior when it's in a fun car. YMMV.

StoneCold > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:19

As tempting as a pro-tour Torino would be, I'd say Boss 302. But then the 2016 GT350/Mach 1 will come out and completely mess up your plans :p

Alex from Toronto > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:20

Depends on what you want to do with your Torino

Jedidiah > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:20

Keep the Torino. It will never depreciate and it will be more fun to work on/drive.

Cherry_man1 > lone_liberal
09/16/2014 at 16:20

o.o I'm 20 so no wife.

I also own a 2011 GT and the 2015 has the IRS and such.

But the BOSS 302 would be nice. I dunno.

Cherry_man1 > StoneCold

I won't have the money for those

It's honestly just a show car. Also a driver.

Driving I love it. But It needs a refresh.

That's okay, just hold onto the motor and bag it in the garage. Just swap it back when you want to sell it.

No wonder you don't know what to do did you say you have a 2011 GT too?

sell both and get the Boss

There will be countless 2015 GT's running around, no more boss's though, plenty rare

Cherry_man1 > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/16/2014 at 16:29

Maybe and yes

Kinja'd!!!

These are them

Alex from Toronto > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:30

Well in that case you could do some minor changes to your Torino like, suspension, brakes, exhaust. Unless you've done that already or want to keep it original.

Cherry_man1 > JGrabowMSt
09/16/2014 at 16:30

But there will be so much hacking into the motor bay?

Cherry_man1 > Alex from Toronto
09/16/2014 at 16:31

I was planning on new exhaust suspension and the rear brakes.

When there's a will, there's a way. Remove the heater core? Look! Holes in the firewall.

I build computers with a degree of OCD that cannot be matched. I also have a strange pleasure in doing installations that you can't find.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:34

If not, sell the Torino and buy a Montego or a Cyclone

Cherry_man1 > JGrabowMSt
09/16/2014 at 16:34

it does have that ugly AC condenser in the engine bay

Na Unless its a 68-69-70

Alex from Toronto > Cherry_man1

If you're 100% sure you want to do that go for it if not wait till you can test drive a new mustang and make your choice.

Corz > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:38

Looks close enough to me

Cherry_man1 > Alex from Toronto

I am supposed to be driving a new one with in the week. if not by the end of the month.

Cherry_man1 > Corz

No where close. trust me

That's exactly what I'm talking about

JGrabowMSt > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:42

In your cars defense, I wouldn't part with the Torino. If it's numbers matching, keep it that way, and keep it until it becomes desirable again.

I know someone with a numbers matching 76 Corvette. The entire story behind it is hilarious as well, but in the end, he got his little red corvette. He did slight modifications to it, but in an afternoon he can take it back to stock configuration, even down to the tires it rolled out of the factory with.

Modified cars can look great, but there is something to be said about numbers matching survivor cars.

CYCLONE

vondon302 > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 16:57

I love torino's but the boss is sweet and it looks great in white. I had an old fox body I was throwing money at and said f it and hit reboot. Best thing I ever did. Wanted white but had to settle for red. I'd daily drive it but Michigan roads suck

Kinja'd!!!

Cherry_man1 > vondon302
09/16/2014 at 16:59

Well down here roads are friendly and such but how liveable is it?

Cherry_man1 > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/16/2014 at 16:59

Find me a fastback one and maybe I will consider it.

PS9 > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 17:31

Get the 2015. It's poised to be as much a leap forward over the previous car as the C7 was over the C6.

Cherry_man1 > PS9
09/16/2014 at 17:34

I'll go drive one soon and see if its any better.

03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 17:37

The Boss would be such a cool Mustang to own! But at the same time the 15 is faster then the Boss and more comfortable. And the Torino isn't something you see everyday either, plus you have the 11 GT. This isn't an easy decision for you is it?

vondon302 > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 18:15

Ride is a little harsh but shocks are adjustable I've never gone full soft but I don't mind firmness. Radio is only 4 speakers and no navigation. I'd put 18 inch square tire setup (comes with 19 staggered) and electric cut outs on the quad exhaust and drive the piss out of it. Oh and of course it needs a shifter. Lotsa good deals out there right now on the boss. Check out boss302forum car sale section makes me bummed I bought new good luck

Cherry_man1 > vondon302
09/16/2014 at 18:47

Well I'm looking at dealer ships cause I have to trade n my 2011 GT and sell my Gran Torino ouright unless you wanna trade (jk unless you wanna lol)

As long as the BOSS has sync Idc cause thats all I really need (IL handsfree laws suck)

Cherry_man1 > 03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST
09/16/2014 at 18:47

Nope not at all.

03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 18:52

Well, if it makes it easier I wouldn't look in to that specific Boss. I don't like the louvers or spoiler, I would keep a Boss nearly completely stock. Plus, 17K Miles. I would bet most of that was flat out abuse. The Boss will handle it, but knowing that it might've been is kind of discomforting.

Cherry_man1 > 03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST
09/16/2014 at 19:00

Eh I like the Spoiler, and the scoops arnt that bad but I have found a grabber blue one I like

vondon302 > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 19:39

Yup got sync and sorry no trade lol its sweet though. Good luck one more idea could always mod the gt to boss SPECS I'm just saying lol

03mach1 - Now has a Fiesta ST > Cherry_man1
09/16/2014 at 19:58

Grabber blue is incredible on the Boss, the black stripes really break up all of that blue. I don't think many were made either.

Cherry_man1 > vondon302
09/16/2014 at 20:16

Well I still would have to sell the Torino adn the GT is an Auto

you're living in the promise land of Mercury Cougars man, I can't believe how many good ones are on your CL.

only Cyclone in your region is this:

I'm willing to risk it. also I may go with a BOSS 302. Save some money.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1

I'd keep it even though it's an auto.
