When you paint a skull and crossbones on your cowl hood with a paint brush, it was actually a Mopar I did it on.....

I never answered this. But my answer should be fairly obvious. Brakes. Big honking rotors and nice calipers. It's the first thing I look at with any car I check out. I might be a little bit judgmental at times too.

Stance depending on car. 85/86 GT, 100% stock exterior (including 10 holes) with about 1" lowering all around.

Aero GT's - Cobra rear bumper and grill insert

Basically subtle exterior mods.


Mustang5L5 - when are you getting the big honkin' rotors? Cobra 13's are good, but not big honkin'.

Are you sure that was a mass produced edition (Gremlin was) or somebodies one off? That rear wing looks to have been added a couple decades later.

I think it was a one off for a car show based on the company logos (sponsors) present. It looks like a mild era custom. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I’m sure. I had to live through the “ Van era”. look up Levi’s Denimachine. it was a collaboration between Ford, Levi’s, and Coca Cola. They made thousands of those hideous things between 1976/77.

And nothing.......I repeat.... nothing.....Could make this thing “ appear” better. Not wheels/rake/paint/ or bogus flares/roof scoops/ wing spoilers or side pipes that they bolted on those junkers back then.

Yeah, um, a station wagon or a pickup with a camper shell would be better, and 70s era camper shells were universally ty.

So why would a pickup with a ty shell be better? Also unless your an exhibitionist that station wagon would get you caught with the preachers daughter or son if your into that.
