I can understand the "let's try to make a new car look like an old car" concept, but I have never seen one that actually pulled it off well.

Now, if someone could figure out how to put the new chassis/driveline in an actual old car for pretty cheap.....that would be nice.

Until then, I say let's keep old cars old, and new cars new.

 

Well what do you think about this car then? I know it aint a mustang but they pretty much did the same thing as the people did on this Stang.

Feel the exact same way.

Which I also feel about this:



I can appreciate all the work and craftsmanship -- really, they all are quite well done.
It just doesn't look right to me. Like wearing a tie with a Hawaiian shirt.

 

Decent effort I guess, but the proportions are wrong, as mentioned, and I can't say I'm a fan the '69 Shelby's looks in the first place.

 

That looks kind of cool. Do you have a link to that? A friend is thinking about getting a vette. Maybe he'll like this one?

 

Nice car... price tag... wow. Love the hips, Ford should consider something like this for the 14/15 MY.

 

I agree with you completely. This pic the car is really nice but, Just gotta ask why do that. Now I can totally see them dropping an old body on a new frame but not completely redo the outside of a new car. To me it is way to much work for the results you can get easier.

 

Yup. Other than that, it looks pretty close.

 

Again, I feel like that Vette thing would look better with some retro-styled wheels, rather than the stock C5 wheels.

 

Me too...that is my favorite early Mustang.

 

I dunno, it kind of like if the Rolling Stones decided to re-record Exile On Main Street. Sure it might benefit from modern recording techniques or whatever, and sound like a cool idea at first, but it would completely lack the historical character of what made it a great album to begin with.

Overall it just seems like an interesting idea that is essentially unnecessary, and ends up tarnishing the original.

 

Well its cool for sure but I think it's missing something...

 

neato.

1 of 1 MADE

ONLY 1,600 ORIGINAL MILES
Mustang GT-R Glassback-Fastback Super Tuner Car- is “all sheet metal from a ’68 fastback,”






“A lot of love went into this car,” Tony Beam and Clinton White, the designers on the project, said. Actually, artisans John Emhoff, Mike Buske, Ryan Weaver, Brett Clark, Clay Grube and many others poured 1,200 hours of sweat into this Mustang. The design began with 1967 fenders, doors and quarters. Of course, these older body parts don’t fit a Gen 5 Mustang platform. In Tony’s words, the panels had to be “elongated, stretched and made taller” to fit. The goal was to incorporate the look of a 1967-68 fastback into the ’07. They had to pull off this radical surgery and at the same time “retain all the fender mounting points, door gaps, bumper mounting points on the rear, and trunk gaps.”

Car FX in Tulsa, Oklahoma installed the Glassback roof and did the mechanical upgrades. A supercharger made a whole lot of sense. A car that looks this hot needs to go just as fast.
There’s probably no better supercharger installer around than Russell Williams at Car FX. Mustang Magazine 5.0 photographed this car in Tulsa. Williams layed out the parts and pieces in a sanitary shop where he installed a blower and a set of long tube headers. Car FX also lowered the body using lightweight Steeda springs front and rear. They engineered the drop so the 20 inch Proxes clear the custom made steel fenders.

That thing is screaming for some agent 47 mirrors and then I'd give it the

Anyone care to photoshop it?

 

its not perfect, but its really nice overall. i like it better than the second one posted thats for sure.

If I were the builder of that car though... I'd have waited for the 5.0

 

I think it's cool for that price not everyones going to be getting one but I'm not going to complain about another neato high end mustang!

 

I saw this exact same car while on a trip in the Bahamas, Nassau to be more precise, and i'll tell you, this 'Vette looked really nice in person. I'm trying to locate the pic right now.

 

I got the chance to see a few of them at Barret Jackson 2 years ago. They were so amazing in person.


My favorite was the black one followed closely by this orange one.

 

bleh

the Corvette thing is worse though
