"Best" is a broad and subjective term. "Most desirable" or "rarest" are less subjective.
Among my personal favorites are the 65 GT350R cars, 68-1/2 CJ's (actually saw one at the M+ car show a couple weeks ago), 69 Boss 429's, and the 67 Super Snake.

Starfury is right. "Best" is in the eye of the beholder. "Best" as far as most representative might be a plain 65 coupe. It started a revolution and was wildly popular. Best for muscle, well certainly the 429s as mentioned above could qualify. Best styling...I choose 65/66 or 69/70. Others will choose their favorites. If I could pick one Mustang for my personal "best" car it would be the 1969 Mach I.

oh cool u went to the show at m+? ive been there a few times but never to a show. its only like an hour and a half away from my house. i always read about the shows in the catalog
Well to me there are 3 different types of classic Mustangs, the 'secretary car' 64.5-66 style, the more European style 67-68 (especially the GT 350/500) and the muscle car 69-70 style. Personally I would say the 'best' would be either the '67 GT500 or the '69 Boss 302. The Boss 302 was often named ‘the best handling Ford ever’ and it was basically a Trans-Am race car slightly toned down for street use.
i gotta admit though as much as i love mine my buddy has a 67 GTA fastback that is completely original and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
" what is to be considered omong the best of the classic stangs"
When you are considering a purchase, the "best" one is the one for sale that is in reasonable shape for a fair price that doesn't have to be shipped from five states away.
I like all the years, 65-66, 67-68, and the 69-70. All hold their own attitude differently. I plan on having one car from each time period. In order of ranking from most favorite to favorite would be 67-68, 69-70, then the 65-66. I like em all. Once you get into the 70's, things started going down hill, especially after 73, yikes, what was Ford thinking?

I'm from Stockton and just happened to be in town for the weekend when I saw another forum member post about the show. So I dragged my mom there:) Quite a few nice cars (and quite a few not-so-nice). I also had to buy some rear leafs, which worked out much better than shipping them back down.
I'll exclude the Boss 302's and 429 and the CJ's....I think they fall in the obvious choice, super musclecar category with the Shelbys.
That said it is a very close tie for me between the '67 fastback models and the '69 sportroof models.....probably have to go with the '69 Mach 1.....of course after the Boss's and the Shelby's
