Henry mentioned it in post #41.
I think they're ugly.
... now after I pay for it for a while, the mods can begin!!
Meh, I'd rather build a cobra kit and find a 427 to throw in.
Cheaper to buy one outright.
A well tuned small block will run circles around a BB replica. Here's mine. Sold it a couple yrs ago. 1900 lbs and 380rwhp. Nasty.

Gimme the ringer, Dude! Chop-chop!

Blue J nice Christmas gift! Is that the AWD version?
It was a Factory Five Mark 1 (first gen). Paid $27k for it .. sold it 7 yrs later for the same price. I did do a few upgrades to it while I owned it - ie; 4 to 4 headers, new W/C T5 trans, SSM control arms, reproduction steering wheel. There's ALL KINDS of replicas out there you can buy (completed) with prices ranging from $20k to $100k. The FFR uses all Ford/Mustang parts - built to use a donor car for the build - but purist like to harp on them cause they are not an EXACT replica of an original. Tell ya this - after driving a real one and a bunch that do follow EXACT standards - fuck that. They're too small and contorted for 6 ft person and mine ran circles around those EXACT snotty ass replica bitches. Mine was built with all new parts - nothing donor. I had a HUGE file of receipts from the original owner/builder. He had $38k in receipts for parts and paint - not counting his labor. Buy one already done. It's cheaper and you get to drive it NOW, not 18 months from now.

Yes, Clint had one. Real interesting bike, a mongrel Matchless/ Norton made for US market. Did well as a desert sled in it's day. Absolute hoot to ride, but comes with the usual idiosyncracies of old Brit iron. A garage full of oil spots, for instance.
Sorry, this was a sports car thread...
