My brother was one of the first people that I was close to that I watched go through a mid life meltdown. My first clue was when he started searching for mustangs for sale which are his favorite muscle car. This was his all time dream car. He had one in high school that he had saved every penny he earned to buy. It was a 1967 Ford Mustang, not old enough to be a classic, but still a very cool and fast car. He drove it until he met his future wife. She hated it and insisted that he sell it. They were married early and always had a relationship where she made all the decisions. She has never been a very pleasant woman.
They got married young and had their children early so by the time they were in their mid forties they were empty nesters. This is when my brother started looking for used mustangs for sale. I knew it was not something that he had discussed with this wife because he came over to our house to do it. He was looking through newspapers, auto traders and online web sites for mustang fastbacks, Mustang GTs, Cobra Mustangs, Convertibles, Shelby Mustangs which are sold from 1965 through 1970 and the more expensive Saleen and Roush Mustangs in the hopes of finding classic mustangs for sale that would meet his needs. He was also looking at a base V6 model or the more upscale V8 GT. The newer Ford Mustangs are faster, more agile, roomier, more efficient and are more refined than every before, making them a thing of beauty.
All Ford Mustangs are available as a coupe or convertible today. Whether it is a Mustang that is 30 years old or 3 years old Ford Mustangs are classic muscle cars that carry on the American tradition. 1969-1970 Ford Mustangs are considered by some to be the pinnacle of the muscle car era, especially among Ford fans and are greatly sought after as collectible cars.
He found a classic Mustang fastback that was down in Florida. We live in New York, so he suggested that I hop in the car with him and we would go down and look at it. We had never spent any time together just the two of us and he thought it would be fun. He asked me in front of my husband who promptly agreed to watch the kids. We called about the car, made arrangements to get off work from our jobs and we started driving.
During the drive we talked a great deal about what we plan for in our lives and what occurs while we are making plans. He shared how unhappy he was in his marriage and how long another possible forty years with his wife would be. By the time we got to Florida he was no longer thinking about mustangs for sale, instead he was thinking about getting a divorce lawyer. By the time we were back to New York he agreed to go to counseling to see if they could work through some things so life would be happier. I think a lot less motorcycles, convertibles, face lifts and tattoos would be sold if people as far as we did and talked about what they were buying before making the purchases.
