Default Best car cover for my 1965 Mustang fastback

What is the best car cover for my 65 fastback? I have seen price ranges from $50 to $400... Any tips on what to buy and where is much appreciated. Jake

I got the top of the line car cover that Virginia Classic Mustang offers for my '70 Convertible. It works great, price is about $230.

If it's to be used outside in the elements, then get the best you can afford!! If it's to be used in a garage just to keep off dust, then go to Advance Auto or Walmart, they both have one for around $25 that does the job fine. The only thing I don't like about it is it's bulky, it takes some room in the garage when folded up.
Hope that helps,

Just to add to my previous post, I don't have a garage so my car is out in the elements and with it being a convertible I had to get a good car cover. I'm completely satisfied with mine. It folds up and doesn't take up a ton of space but the best of all is it can rain and the car cover can be completely soake and when I take it off my car is nearly dry. You'll never get one to keep it completely dry becaust good covers are ventilated to allow the car to breath.

I picked up a pretty nice one at Costco for $39. The only thing I don't like is that it is pretty bulky and hard for one person to put on and take off. I will admit that I spurged and got a very nice light-weight one from California Car Covers. It wasn't cheap but it goes on and comes off very easily - meaning that I use it all the time rather than just occasionally as I did with the Costco model. If convenience is a needed quality then go light, which usually means more money, especially if you need water-proof

Yeah I think that ease of use is important because otherwise I would not use it. E d of the day it saves me washing and waxing and is better for the paint.

LOL...Walmart may be the best pick I bought one at the Daytona Turkey Rod Run.......wasted over a 100 dollars then when I called they would act like they would take care of the POOR quality...then I wouldn't hear from them again. Call them again...same "act" all apologetic ....then NOTHING. Called again...same act. It actually became interesting.
