It's one of a kind...that's for sure! I can appreciate it but I don't think I could ever do that to one of my cars.

I was thinking about body mods a few years ago. Air dam,side skirts and a shelby type rear spoiler but thats not quite what I had in mind.

I don't know - - I have to say I like it, BUT I would definitely have some bigger "meats" on the back. There is way too much space between the tires and the fenders for my liking.

I must confess that back in the day, I had a tall "Superbird" spoiler on the back of "Fire" (my '73 Mach I) at one time.

You know, that is what so nice about "OWNING" a car, you can do with it what you like - - to please youSmile.

At first glance, I thought it might've been one of those 'concept' packages for the new gen Mustangs (e.g. Stalker, et al).

But - yeah... I can't get behind this. I mean, I know they put a lot of work into it... but... yeah... no thanks.

I'll chime in with my "no thanks" as well. I always support individualism when modifying, but I guess I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to the unique look of the 71 - 73 'stangs. This one looks like what 72fastback said - a sci-fi or future concept car. Smile

Not my cup of tea.
