    The car was on ebay a few weeks ago and the seller bought the car like that and had no info on the car's modifications. The car did not sell on ebay as the add was removed.

    It was back on e-bay this morning. I noticed it and just assumed he had installed some fiberglass bumpers or something. I like it, but it is not stock "mavericky" enough for my personal tastes.

    I'd put on a Comet GT scoop (or maybe a Grabber hood), paint it red with black stripe on the hood that stops at the base of the windsheild, and lower it a little on some 17 inch silver Cobra R wheels.

    I like the shape. Don't like the wheels. Don't like the color. Is that yellow or some weird shade of green? Kind of reminds of those neon highlighters I used in school. You'd definitley see that car coming from a mile away.

    i think it would look better with different wheels and hoodscoop. course, you'd look real cool all the time as you'd have to wear sunglasses with the bright paint.:)

    The front clip is a custom piece, probably made by the seller/owner. possibly fiberglass or plastic.

    I kinda like that mustang clip...what year, and how hard to make it fit?

    I probably wouldn't do it...but just wondering. I might borrow a front valence from that setup if I can't get mine straightened out.

    I really like those beefy front tires (y)

    Yep, I've got that pic saved on my computer. That is absolutely awesome. I think that would be real cool to do to a 4 door with Shelby tail lights. Would definately make some people look twice!
