    Honey Gold

    Don't normally post pics like this - but couldn't resist.  Some pretty subtle mods here.

    I like everything about it except maybe the Orange things on the wheels.

    Are those seperate individual tri bars on the tail lights? Read about that in one of the early fastback models, but Ford said it would be too expensive to put into production. Supposedly, a few of the individual tail lights exist...

    I like the split bumper, looks like the sail panel vent has had some work as well. where did you find this pic? Is there one of the front?

    It's hard to type "funny"

    Also notice the rocker panels go from wheel to wheel.  That looks really good.  Kind of the effect they were going for with the lower chrome trim on non-GT cars.  I always wondered what one would look like with that ribbed trim painted body color.

    You mean like this?
    I found this somewhere years ago. 
     

    '66 Fastback since July 27, 1981. Springtime Yellow, originally a 200 cu in, 4 speed. Also a '92 LX Coupe, 5.0, 5 speed.

    Note that 69 GT flip-open style gas cap in that picture.  Man, I sure am glad they went with the taillights they went with instead of those 6 doorstops lined up across the back of the car.

    I love everything about this car except the steering wheel center cap.   Pretty cheesy, I think.   Takes away from the rest of the interior.
