SEMA 2011: 1971 Ford Mustang “Pegasus”
http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2011/1...stang-pegasus/
I want to love this car (I like it), but the interior is a bit "off" in my opinion. I do love the creativity and the 'out-of-the-box' thinking and styling . . .
Nicknamed “Pegasus”, this pony car has been given a complete makeover with the front end shortened by six inches and a rear end has been redesigned to feature a pass-through spoiler. The revised bodywork has been mated to a new Fast Track Mustang chassis designed by the Roadster Shop, and under the hood is a modern Coyote 5.0L V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission built by Sean Hyland Motorsports. Other features include Nutek wheels shod with Pirelli tires, Wilwood brakes and a fully custom interior designed by M and M Interiors.

I love it! Retro-Modern-Utilitarian!
For those that love the less is more approach, this should be sexy as hell to them. I love some flash, but I also love the rolling piece of art class that this car simply defines.
I would LOVE to get my underhood area that clean!

Love the proportions of the car, just some of the details are meh. Interior makes me think old-school "St@r W@rs futuristic" - just add a bunch of blinking lights and it's there.

I think a few little changes would help the interior be less jarring to the eye. I am immediately pulled to the hexagons around the main gauges. If those were much shallower and integrated to the gauge, instead of making some sort of "fence" around them, I believe it would integrate better.
I give them an "A" for effort, no doubt about that. But I would actually rather have a driver-level restoration '71. This is a fascinating design exercise, but it almost completely loses the connection to the design it grew from.
Of course, I am also getting older every passing day, and find my attitude is also marching boldly towards "coot-dom". ;~)

It was at a local car show here and from what I heard is was amazing. They also brought out another car that they build and it was amazing as well.
