About the only thing I like about the Foose car are the seats.

Seems more like a parts showcase than a Foose creation. While I tend to like his body designs, and I can see how some like the rims on their own, don't like what rims he chooses to put on which cars. Almost always too big. This car is no exception.

And you'd think they could have picked a clean car cover.

If you stare at it long enough, the 2-tone kinda grows on you.
But I think I sorta favor the grey one.
Other posters have got it right though. Lot of the member cars look better (IMO).

They told me that the supercharger will be changed. At first, they didn't want to open the hood because of this.

I give'em credit for trying to change the whole front clip, but don't like the way it turned out.

Watch the video and listen to the crowd...polite applauds at best.

Chip you have lost your way! What where you thinking when you decided to go with that style front end? It looks "futuristic cheap" and does nothing to add to the sutle retro look of the stang,but rather draws to much attention too itself...The rear is ok,but the long flat ducktail seems to extend the cars lines to far out,and thus losing that nice crisp sharp drop off...No imagination with those side louvers either,nothing more then everyday aftermarket stickem looking...The wheels with there extra "bling bling bling" look silly and out of place on a mustang (hint hint) go back and study the mach 1 designs...Last but not least,that paint job and interior color selection screams copper crazed mazda...which is not a good look.

Chip normally i love your work,and never miss a overhauling or car show special with you in it,but i really think you need to go back to the drawing board with this one.Nothing wrong with a redo!

I guess I'm in the minority because I don't care for the Foose designs all that much, the overhaulin' show is still cool though. However his designs are usually pretty origional, this car isn't. The two tone paint has been done, almost exactly like that one, the guy who had the black over yellow one. Hood scoops, elenore front end. Dunno just not feeling that at all. Nothing like I expected.

Remember the Camero he did for that 90210 guy, that was pretty sweet looking, the flame job looked cool as heck. Even the 05 he did on his show looked far better IMO.

I'm a little dissapointed.

The seats where really nice looking though.

I"ll say the same thing when the Overhauling 05 shots were here, I don't like them, and usually I like Foose's stuff. Not always, but usually. I think sometimes he gets out of hand w/ the paint jobs. Anyway, that's my $ .02, I really think that stock is better than any AM Stang I've seen!

$40,000 for that? :nono: I'll keep mine. I guess even Chip can't improve on a classic.

Dissapointing.

I'm fine with a good ol' Foose two tone, but all that Eleanor reference is junk. Try again Chip.

$40,000? Nah. The spec sheet that was posted online at that other site says, in the fine print down at the bottom, "Approximate retail value $75,000.00"
