whoa, those "fog" lights are crap...wait, i think the whole car is crap. but each to their own, i am sure someone will buy the thing....

 

Wow---that's a rolling disaster.

I still like that white Mach 1 in the background.

 

What he said.

 

427 Cobra Jet my big left toe!

 

Ow My eyes. I can't see!

 

I like the Blue with the gold stripes and that interior but **** the rest is horrible.......

 

the "mach 1" looks ok, although having the ducktail and a spoiler is pretty dumb.

gotta love the hood

 

you know, aside from the 428 CJ emblems and teh foglights.... its rather nice. i like the meshy grille n stuff, and the rest of the car looks well put together

 

oh and that mach 1?? gorgeous (didnt see it til now)

 

You gotta be KIDDING me..... that thing puts the UCK in

S UCK

 

I didn't see a picture that showed the ducktail and a spoiler.

 

You guys probably already know this, but this GT500 KR is not by Shelby, it's a one-off custom that someone (the dealership?) had built. It likely has a stock GT drivetrain, which seems almost criminal with the Cobrajet emblems.


+1, that is sweeeeeet! The white seat inserts look fantastic.

Well, I like small portions of that car (color combination, hood, wheels), but WTF is up with those POS fog lights ?? I expect to see that crap on a Redneck Jacked-Up 4x4 along with the 4 across the roll bar in back.

 

I don't understand the hate. Yes, ditch the fogs and the emblems. Paint the scoop grilles black.

Everything else? Seems fairly standard modding fare.

 

May be, but that is how the original Mach 1's were configured.

 

I like the Mach1, and I wish it was a "real" Mach1 from Ford. If it was, I would be the first in line at my local dealership.

 

except that the "ducktail" was part of the factory body on the 1969-1970 mach 1. Not tacky plastic junk that was put on the car in the aftermarket. also the trunk on the 2005+ is flat across the lid, where the older ones had much more slope. I think that adds to the oddity of putting the old style spoiler on the new car.

there is a 1969 Boss 302 in my garage, and know the factory ducktail well. but they are not as pronounced as the shapes of the new aftermarket ones. Plus the spoiler was added on the back of the boss 302 as a real aerodynamic aid that was owner adjustible.

 

If your going to "update" the Shelby, at least use a Shelby, and bump up the output, and handling, that just looks like a random hodgepodge of parts thrown on to a GT, and the thing that really depresses me is that I am sure someone will buy it.
