Thumbs up Someone fixed the back end...

... OK, got your attention. They actually did a lot more than that. Check this thing out:

This is what the 2014s should look like. Classic exterior and modern interior and suspension. The only problem I have would be the exhaust note. It will not sound like the old school stands. Awesome job for the recoed.

It is a great job and I do like a bit of retro, but that just makes me feel old. It is the type of car I would love to look at someone else driving, but that I would never even consider for myself. But it is amazing and I am glad that someone had the creativity to do that.

I'd rather have a real '69 or a normal 2010 than this hodge podge

They must be mistaken about the year - I believe it's an '09 like this one.

The interior is '10, the tail lights are '09, and I doubt they would mistake the year. It is an interesting car. I remember when the blue on showed up also. Lots of work and it is a 4.6.....no boss about it.

It is definitely unique, but I would wonder how well all those modified panels will hold up. And you would think the seller would run spell check before posting the ad

I think it looks nice. Maybe a bit too much like the old Mustangs, but an impressive job if you ask me. I'm not a big fan of putting stickers on things they don't belong, but appearance wise it's actually a car I'd consider buying if I were in the market. Just maybe not in white.

As for the back end, changing the bottom plastic bit, good, that bit never looked great. The upper portion though, well... I honestly kinda prefer mine. Honestly, if it bothered me enough I'd change just that one black plastic panel that apparently ruins the entire car and makes it irredeemable to some people. :P

I've never looked, but is it feasible to change the entire back panel from a '10 to a '09? I didn't look at the rest of the photos.

BTW, that body conversion on the '09 was $33K - with your car!

I would do my 2011 that way if i had the money. Love it. I would really like the '65 coup or '68 fastback models better though. I guess i like them all.

Actually that is a good price.
The conversion alone is over $35K.
Not that I would want it or buy it.
