Has anyone else seen the article on the 40th Anniversary Mustang in Auto Express. 440bhp, and looks it too . I really do like the look of the original mustangs (my step father had one for a while and sadly sold it before I was old enough to have a go) The 2005 ones take a step back to the 'original look' and are very nice .

Does anyone know of a link to some other pictures of the New Mustang GT-R?? If I remember the article it was unveiled at last weeks New York Motor Show.

Thought of trying Google?

Is that the new one?

Looks the dogs...not sure about the rear quarter window but without seeing it in the flesh I'll reserve judgement

What I can't understand is why they are putting on live axle rear suspension

I love the US attitude of "we don't need to go round corners." Still would probably handle ok in a country where they don't have to worry about hitting potholes halfway round a bend.

heres a pic:



This must be the concept version as it doesn't appear to have any rear quarter windows (looks better IMO )

That one looks nice and I agree about the window, but not the one I was thinking about.

I found two pics...

Nice!!

Yeah I read about that beast a few days back....the figures sound amazing and looks awesome especially with that menacing wing and those 20 inch wheels (if you like the American muscle thing! ). The main attraction the ability to do little tweaks and minor mods to get an official track-going race car …I’d certainly trade up for that

churchwa

nice, but i am still in love with my new baby!



Should be geting it in 3-4 weeks

Churchwa, niiiiiiiiiiice !,

Post on here when you get it, would love to know more. My wife wants one big time, more than me which is saying something.

churchwa

As soon as i get it i will post the pics. I am desperate to get my hands on it. It has been being built for 4 months now.

Brun

Replica or rebuilt original?
Either way - sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

mplaczek

Curchwa, that is simply the most beautiful car! My partner and I have wanted an old mustang since always! Would you mind if I PM you for some details? (I asume we are all talking about the car and not the plane ;D)
And definitely post some pics when it is done!

churchwa

Sure, be happy to answer any questions.

The car is defiantly a genuine 1969 Mach 1 with a 351 V8, i have just paid for it to be fully restored. i would have it sooner but it is the 40th birthday of the mustang and the chap restoring it has gone to the US for a 2 week long party.

I am sure it will handle just the same as my old STI8 PPP

I've always wanted a 1967 GT500...but I'd make do with a 350 - hell maybe a later Jet or Boss or even a normal 289 just for the looks. Just as long as it's a pre 1970

SirFozzalot

Lucky g!t!!!!! What a truly awesome motor!

Simon Lau

churchwa, it's been a long time since you last posted that picture...I thought you would have had it by now. Never mind, patience is a virtue my friend! What a truly magnificent motor! It kind of takes away some of the glamour from the new car (also above)

Yep, like the others have said be sure to post some piccys...and I hope for your sake, flares and aviators are back in fashion...

Respect Geezer!

churchwa

Thanks for that, yes it has been a very long time since i last posted it, and my patience is running a little thin now. I was supposed to have picked it up by now, but problems in the paint shop pushed the project back 1 month. (Oh yeah, and the core plugs blew last wednesday) but rather this stuff happens when it is being restored rather than at 70mph on a motorway.

Fortunately for me I was only born in 1978 so I don't remember the first time Flares were in. Although i am a big fan of aviators and String Fellow Hawk!. (For those of you that remember our Airwolf buddy)

I will be taking it along to Ace cafe as well because i have friends with Chevvys and some amazing Low riders, so maybe i will pop along to one of the Jap meets there.

Simon Lau

...where did you pull that one from you sad git??? ***cough*** I used to watch that***cough***...

btw, how's your insurance for that?

churchwa

I love airwolf!!

Insurance will be bout 500-800 pounds. Fully comp with a 5000 mile limit.
Although my mate just insured his 64 Chevvy for 300 pounds for the year, so i will see when i get closer to the time. I did my research when i was 25.

here is another pic of what is almost identical to my car. i have the same wheels but with white writing on the tyres and i dont have a rear spoiler. (But i do have the front one)

Hope you like?

what would scooby do

I saw a black mustang just like that in Milton Keynes yesterday.. It pulled into a petrol station I was in - just giggled at the noise - flat 4 burble my **** - this thing sounded very naughty LOL

P1Fanatic

churchwa that is sex on wheels mate. What kinda wonga you talking about for that if you dont mind me asking. Always fancied some classic american muscle. My fave is a Ford 32 Deuce Coupe ala John Milner in American Graffiti.

Yeah Airwolf was the best! I remember Blue Thunder was on at the same time, but how could you compare the two! Airwolf would kick Blue Thunders a*s .
I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone else remember Manamal (sp?) and Automan, about the same era but I have never met anyone that used to watch it?? Everyone thinks I'm crazy

churchwa

Speed of the Puma, eye of the Hawk, strength of the bear!!!!

Who didn't watch manamal, but i have never heard of automan?

mplaczek

Just had a quick google, thought I would throw in a link to jog peoples memories...

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet...t/showid-1921/

'Walter Nebicher is a policeman. He is also an expert in computers. He developed a highly sophisticated hologram named Automan, which helps him fight crime. Automan has an assistant camed Curser that can create holographic objects such as a car, helicopter or any other object needed by Walter or Automan to fight crime.'

I remember the car... it would travel at nutty speeds and turn at right angles in an instant as it was digital I assume

Poor Guy

I want churchwa's 'stang

or a 68 F/B

hope u enjoy

churchwa

I know, wonderful car, but the kit is only for the 68, and mine will be a 69 which is a much bigger car.

I thought about getting one, but they cost lots of money.

I am however tempted by the cobra wheels they have on it.

DanTheMan

Any of you guys toyed with the idea of importing a new Stang from the US ?
