David Fowler sends us this photo set of his 1979 Mustang with optional 5.0L V8, two tone Silver over black exterior paint, and custom wheels. David says, I'm the only owner, I bought it from my sister-in-law . Two weeks after I bought it, it was hit by a hail storm.

David's 1979 Mustang is in very good condition. There were no Mustang GT's in 1979, but this is the closest thing since it has the optional 302ci V8 under the hood.

Magazine ad showing a silver 1979 notchback at the top and a smaller red fastback below. The ad says,
"The New Breed" - referring to the new body style introduced in 1979. The ad goes on to say,
"Presenting a whole New Breed of Mustang for 1979. Dramatic new sports car styling gives this Mustang one of the most efficient aerodynamic designs of any car now built in America.
