I think it's cool. I really like the front end. I'd like to see a larger rear wheelhouse opening and a larger wheel and tire combo in there to balance out the proportions. A few tweeks to improve the execution and that could be pretty sweet.

It is an interesting idea though. I see the same problem that the newer Challengers have...the body doesn't "tuck in" enough at the bottom for it to look right, nor are the tops of the fenders in the right place. It's as if they're too high which throws it all out of proportion (to my eye).

Take it easy on the rear end ok OCD....LOL!
I think they look alright, one of those rare finds that looks better in the pics than in real life.
I'd take a 69 body with an 11 drivetrain and interior!

I like a little retro so remind me of where we came from, but these things are a little much. If you want a '68 '69 or whatever find one and restore it. The Mustang must continue to evolve.

I can understand the attraction of these cars. I loved my first generation Mustangs but sometimes I find myself thinking "what am I getting nostalgic about?" They looked great and were fast but for the most part they couldn't stop or turn a corner to save your life, had vinyl interiors with no A/C, AM only radio (or FM with 8-track in later models), and needed constant attention (points, condenser, cap, rotor...). Now I've got a car that is just as fast (if not faster), gets far better mileage, handles well, has a comfortable interior and a good sound system, needs little maintenance, and is fun to drive. Having one that looked like a classic might not be such a bad idea.

That thing looks like it needs liposuction.
