While this model wears the same style of knockoff wheel as the original, it’s finished in a sinister black like most of the trim. It’s a similar story inside, where the familiar diamond-stitched upholstery is offset with a modern carbon fiber dash.
The gunmetal grey paint seems straight from a modern Mustang’s order book, and the yellow contrast stitching and gauge faces offer a much-needed splash of color.
We’re not sure if we like the cooling ducts on the rear quarter panels. They don’t look completely out of place, and we’re sure they help cool the modern disc brakes, but you just don’t mess with a legend.
Cam VanDerHorst has been a contributor to Internet Brands' Auto Group sites for over three years, with his byline appearing on Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Corvette Forum, JK Forum, and Harley-Davidson Forums, among others. In that time, he's also contributed to Autoweek, The Drive, and Scale Auto Magazine.
He bought his first car at age 14 -- a 1978 Ford Mustang II -- and since then he’s amassed an impressive and diverse collection of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, including a 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Mystic Cobra (#683) and a classic air-cooled Porsche 911.
In addition to writing about cars and wrenching on them in his spare time, he enjoys playing music (drums and ukulele), building model cars, and tending to his chickens.
