    it's a HEMI a little break given for this (read narrative)



    [color=var(--primary-text)]LOL OK, for you guys saying it's a wasted car, or its ugly, whatever, I met the owner in Las Vegas at a Cruise the Strip event. He is now retired military, and he built that car with his Dad back in the mid-1970s from a WRECKED Mustang fastback. The body is a kit sold back in the day, wing and all. What you cant see in the pictures is, this car is also Hemi powered. He parked it in his folk's garage and basically forgot about it until he retired. It exactly how it was when he and his Dad built it (except the hood) He rebuilt the fuel system, bled the brakes, and started cruising it. Although he and his wife are talking about restoring it as a stock Mustang. This car would have been long gone if a 17-year-old kid had not found it in a southern California junkyard and decided to save it [/color]

    Hey, no harm no foul on this one. It's like a Hot Wheels car brought to life!

    That wing is just as 'butt-ugly' on a Mustang as it is on the Roadrunner sooooooo...it IS consistent!!
    Woulda loved to heard it with a 70's style cam in that Hemi!

    My first thought is to compare it to a mullet....business up front and party in the back!!! 

    Something doesn't look right. 

    Time spent with Dad building the car, priceless.

    Hang on now, I think it just needs some different wheels and tires, paint that sucker Coca Cola red, slap a #49 on the side and its a tribute to a Bobby Allison car that never was!

    It looks like the the front end has been worked over too - it seems more bullet shaped like the Chargers/Plymouths.  It'd be interesting to see the front view.

    For sure, I'm guessing those are glass fenders.  The cove extends into the fenders, and the wheel arches are definitely flared outward.  I wonder if I has hidden or flush mounted headlights.  Get us a front view Don!

    I think the odds that there are two are overwhelmingly small.
