There is a 68 Mustang "kit" on an 05 Mustang around here and its just terrible, it looks like a bloated 68. There is also a 53 corvette kit on a C5 chassis and its not near as bad as the mustang but it just isn't right. You can look at it and clearly see both corvettes lol. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

Especially in that shot. It makes the side look tall like a pacer window or something.

The yellow Mopar is my old 70 GTX that I sold to the fellow with sunglasses on his hat. I could be wrong, but that looks like Darrell Wiscnewski driving the Vette. He owns Bayway Motors and has a large collection of muscle cars including original hemi cars, real Shelby Cobras and God knows what else. I really like that Vette though.

It has a Bayway tag on it, guessing it's owned by the owner who has a huge car (mostly Mopar) collection. 1972 Road Runner 1988 Shelby CSX-T

The '56 - to '60 MY versions look spectacular. https://www.crcoachworks.com/models Last edited by RobG; 06/09/20 10:11 AM.

They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

But this works pretty well IMHO. 68 Road Runner (383/4speed, post car w/decor pkg) - Major Project 69 Road Runner w/472 Hemi & 4 speed. 70 Challenger R/T SE EF8 w/ V9J, U - A32 - Major Project 2023 Ford Mach 1

I didnt used to be a split window fan either, but about 10-15 years ago I started noticing them and how awesome the rear end really is, especially in Black or Red..... I’m a fan now. One of the VERY few cars where the hardtop is considerably more desirable than the roadster. 300SL Gullwings and FHC XKE’s being other members of a that very rare class.
