An original Model T or Model A that is running and is in good shape would be worth a lot more than ANY Mustang...

First of all, I was laughing out loud at the goats and donkeys comment!! I totally agree with you, and wonder what the obsession is with a truck powered Mustang.
These cars will surely lose a ton of value now that a really refined and powerful V6 resides under the hood of the base Mustang for roughly the same MSRP they paid for their dinosaurs. Can you imagine being the poor guy that bought a 2010 V6?? What a shame! They just lost about 40%!!
There is no animosity towards V6 owners from me. Really, buy and drive what you like. Heck, I'd even look at a 305 HP V6 now. Just don't try saying the experience of owning a V6 Mustang (pre 2011) is anything close to the full package of the GT. Yes, you get the looks, and it might even be fast enough, but you are missing the handling and smoothness of the GT package, plus the standard upgrades that are included in the base GT. It is a totally different drive really, and not comparable. Now that you can get 26 mpg out of 412 HP, the mileage argument is a moot point. Of course I was getting in the upper 20's on the highway way back in the 5.0 FI days.
