I very often hear from a lot of people that SN95 is the most unloved generation of mustangs, right down there with Mustang II. It often strikes me as an odd statement, because even in the paper, they weren't that bad. Sure there were the base and GT models with dismal performance in every way, but once you add an SVT badge, things would definitely get more interesting, even more so than F-Body of the same generation. The problem is that SN95 is currently invisible for several reasons, some of them are that angles are the thing right now, and that leaves the mid 90s "smooth design" out in the cold. I rarely ever see one these days, and when I do it's usually in the following categories:
1. The Built: Those who had either lack of brains or too stubborn to realize that there are better platforms out there, and stuck with an outdated platform, and kept modifying it. Pretty much everyone on this forum falls into this category. Results usually end up something that looks pretty cool to the owner and select few, may even be somewhat decent of a performer too, but will never challenge anything that's being made 2010+
2. The Collected: Those who for some reason still hope that one day in the future SN95 will be a classic, and keep it completely stock. Who knows, maybe that will be the case at some point, but I'm just not seeing it. They will never be smog exempt in half of the states, and the collector market seems to be permanently stuck in 60s, and Foxes, and just like Foxes, the later cars will be more desirable, in other words New Edge will be more sought after.
3. The Junkyard: Ranging from tastlessly modified with cheap lights, large ugly wheels, terrible paint, right down to the cars that have been neglected until they fall apart, which doesn't take much for a car that's 25 years old. I've recently visited a pick-your-part junkyard, while looking for some trim to complete the interior rebuild, and I've realized that the landscape changed, and while even 5 years ago, you'd be able to walk in and find lots of parts, today you'd struggle to find any donors at all. This means to me that the cars are slowly being phased out, and will most likely be forgotten. It's kinda crazy, considering that SN95 (94-98) had actually a pretty large production car number.
