...That's one of those "jack up the radiator cap and install a new car underneath" numbers...

Oh wait!... There's no radiator!!
'Course we could mount li'l fan blades on each of those pulleys and we won't need one.

Arlie, what the hell were you searching for that landed this result?!? Those bumpers are the only things worth saving on this car ;-)

It didn't look like a Mustang in the thumbnail so I wanted to see what it was. It actually was a Mustang!

...I guess the Mustang IIs are getting so rare, they're starting to clone THOSE from '68s! Are those driving lights or turn signals in the grille??

'Could be worse...At least the rear seats have the correct hubcaps.

Does anyone remember the bumpers that had horse shoes on them? I forgot what they called them. Maybe bumpers with horse shoes on them.:grin:
They were mounted usually on the rear bumper and were right above the bumper brackets if I recall correctly.

And of course there was the whinny horn too...used to be available from J.C. Whitney, try to find one now!

I remember the days when I used to go out in the back forty with my grandad's 12 gauge double barrel shotgun and blow holes into a rust bucket 57 chevy nomad. It was a blast. This car looks about the same, and would make a good target for the shotgun.
