NEW MUSTANG
To be honest, Im not really "Into" american cars, 7-litre, 500bhp monsters that are bigger than transits dont really interest me too much, But it cant be denied that the Ford Mustang is one of the classics of classics, Its the american equivalent of the Jaguar MK2 or the Ferrari GTO. The 60's and 70's versions fetching vast sums of money at auctions and still being awesome to drive even today. Now, this page doesnt really fit in with the other ones here, such as the New capri, because they never really stopped making mustangs, they just changed the design, but what the hell, I'll just stick in the two pictures so you can see why i am making this page
1970
2004
You can probabaly see what im getting at, if youve read the New Capri section..WHY COULDNT THEY DO THIS WITH THE NEW CAPRI!, The 2004 mustang looks like a great modern car, it looks like a great 70's car, its just great!, and i expect it will sell in vast numbers..well, not in britain, because of its vast engine sizes (i think it starts where the new capri finishes, at something stupid like 5.7 litres), but still, its external looks that count, and they dont come better than this! (unless they are old capris)
RATINGS
