    Someone photochoped a challenger front end on the Batisinha Mav on the forum a long time ago..
    Came across this and thought -WOW! that would look wild!Even though all the metal work would be a pain..



    -on a side note while I was browsing car stuff, you ever wonder if the big three had spy's in each others car companies? Look at a 78 Nova compared to a 78 Volare.

    that car is butt ugly with a capitol UGLY I do see a possible resemblance to a maverick hood and shelby style fog lights so there are a couple of decent parts but the rest U UGLY:hmmm:
    I do like the color

    it looks like it ran over a stump and instead of fixing it they stuck a set of fog lights in the hole...:yup:

    I think a combination of the Grabber induction and this front end would appear decent.

    Side view of this car looks like a 67 or 68 Mustang fastback.

    Read a little bit about it - a restomod Mustang body with 620 hp Corvette power and a 6 speed transaxle----custom built chassis and a really big price tag :cry:

    This new car is the final product of a design that started with 67-68 Mustangs 5-6 years ago.

    I wouldn't call it terribly designed or anything.. but could look much better if Ford used a unique side body line to help keep it from looking like a redesigned Mustang.

    I also wonder what bringing back this nameplate would do to our cars desirability and overall value. Put a decent sized ecoboost in it and you'd be sure to eventually see some "old vs new" pictures and drag races cropping up.

    I stared at that Boss 770 car for almost hours when it first came out and came to the conclusion that it a total and utter.. cluster-flock of various design elements. It's like one day they thought.. "since everyone like this element from this car.. and that element from that one.. let's just combine them all into one car!" They obviously forgot the golden rule of.. sometimes, less is more. That thing should be called the "ChallMaroStang"! :naughty:

    And the tail-end design of that car ain't too bad either. Now I just wish they'd start turbo'ing mini V8's!

    A mini-Hemi on boost! How cool would that be? :burnout:
