Man that ding kinda concerns me, as to how easily panels and such can be damaged.

Yes, Yes it's a mule, but something to note also.
and you must remember, they're in Wyoming; pretty rough terrain. I mean, probly a 1/4 of Wyoming is mountainous.

Hmm... Black on top of the bumper. I can see that going onto a Mach 1 model or SE. it looks alright.

Exactly. The black paint and the hood pins have me thinking that this will be incorporated into an appearance package, an SE or both.

Sorry, but I gotta go against the grain, that black sticker looks like crap!

I agree with the hood pins, though they need to be cleaned up. Maybe there will be some nice aftermarket ones that don't make your car look like a redneck special!

doubt you will see either one on a production car.

The black moustache paintjob on the bumper tells me that this car wore camoflauge at some point in time. All of the leopard-print Mustangs have this on them when the camo is removed.

I can't explain the hood pins, other than maybe the hoodlatch broke or something. I for one would rather not see them on a s/e car.

AHHHH GT Lawman .. you torture! LOL .. as I said in the other posts my cousin got married there a year ago. Grr, I coulda seen this car if she had waited a year. Those pics are definitely from Jackson Hole.

Check out that page. I made a report on the roads out in Wyoming on my Switchbacks site There are definitely areas that you can open up the throttle on a car. A Crown Victoria passed us at 100 mph (at least) one of the roads the one day.

That looks like a great place to open up a car. But I wouldn't mind slowing up and checking out the scenery as well.

Maybe those hood locks are there for a GOOD reason. something like. There is something hiding under there I think. Maybe new cobra engine getting some good Kilo's on it to test it out. maybe even not that engine. But I don't think its got the normal 05 GT engine

Thats what is going threw my head. SE model. and I can see SE= Mach 1. One thing I think would look good on the SE model is the 71-73 Ram are. but we would never see that. it would be a no no, this new mustang is all 60's

That is an old test mule.. you can tell it has been beaten up pretty bad.

Who knows if the factory hood latch was even available when this car was built? maybe it was broken?

Hood pins were for when cars had latch assemblies that weighed 10 pounds or more... on modern cars I think they look tacky.

oh I agree they look bad on new cars. I wouldn't want them on my 05. it would take away from the cars body lines
