Cool stunt!

I like how this highlights how much bigger our modern roadwhales really are.

Cool

I wonder how many dollars Ford will have to spend to put a Mustang on the building.

I think all the remaining 65 verts are too valuable to chop into pieces for a 2 day publicity event.... Unless ford still had the original one from the first time sitting in storage somewhere.

I'm sure they have more efficient ways to get them up there now.

I figured we were supposed to have flying cars by now. So getting them up there will be a piece of cake

I've never been to the Empire State Building but I don't see why a helicopter couldn't do it.

But I've never been so there may very well be some obstruction I don't know of.

I've been to the top...but never paid attention to obstruction. Might just come down to a no fly zone.

Believe they cant fly it up there because of the fencing being in the way.

The spire on top of the building prevents a helicopter from putting the car up there.

hope they leave it in the building somewhere or donate it to a museum... even though its not a real car anymore, it deserves better than what happens to most cars like this...

what a racket, took close to 2hrs to get up there! there was a line just to line up outside, then once you got inside the bldg there was a lobby line, followed by a line to purchase your tickets. once ticket in hand, there was a line for the elevator, then a line for the second elevator to the observation deck (i'm not even gonna mention a line to catch the down elevator, once done) geez. once up there though it was great, packed with the multitude, the Tri-coat Yellow Conv 2015 Mustang was on Top of the World baybeee! (the last pic is not mine, got off the web but found interesting that the pony logo is stamped underside the hood frame, cool)

I was up way too late finishing this. But, it turned out really well in my opinion. Since I couldn't be at the NY Auto Show and get to see the historical moment of the Mustang atop the Empire State Building. I drew it.
