It was mostly done when I bought it. That is a respray in the original colour, Tahoe Turquoise.

Since bringing it to the UK I have changed the front brakes to discs and upgraded the headlights to halogen (the US lights were like candles) and the rear lights to LED as it needed hidden amber indicators. Also fitted electronic ignition. And changed the wheels from 17" chrome monstrosities with low profile tyres to period Magnum 500 at 15" with white letter tyres.

You want info?

That was a 68 fastback GT with the 390 engine. Colour is Highland Green.

Much as I love Mustangs, the Dodge Charger the bad guys used was way cooler. Rumour has it they had to keep slowing the Charger down to let the Mustang keep up.

And here is the difference between a film car and not. Mine cost 12 grand. A Bullitt replica will be easily 40 grand.

That red one's a Mustang as well isn't it? From the 90's/early 00's?

Worst 'Stang ever?

Yes that's a 90's Mustang known either as the SN95 or 'New Edge' model. It's ok with a V8. Certainly not the worst effort. That would be the Mustang II launched in the midst of the 70's oil crisis and was never offered with a V8.

Used as parts cars for hot rods as the front suspension is narrow and fits under 1930/40's cars

It's terrible, but but even close. Ford had a decade in the 70s that you would t recognize.

At least they had an excuse for it being awful in the 70's. The 90's one just seems like a car with a pony badge rather than a proper Mustang.

Watched this the other day it seems like Ford are really putting the effort in with the modern Mustang. They both sound amazing btw:
