I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'll pass. 

But at least it has the biggest scoop ever put on a "Mustang".

If the upper grille and scoop were about 8" wider, it would probably look a lot better. Something just seems off there. I think it's unique, anyway.

I don't really see the point of using actual panels from a 60's stang.  I think that's where they screwed up.

The  early Mustang bits are the only thing I liked.
The rest of that car would gag a maggot....

The hood scoop is way too wide.  The front bumper is an Eleanor ripoff.  bleh

The front end does not flow well with the rest of the car.

Let me rephrase that: I like the way this Mustang adheres better to the early Mustang.  I just think they lost their way trying to use actual body parts from an early Mustang instead of starting with a new retro design and new panels.

Just looked at it again and I really like it.

Looks good and the rear end is  inspiring.
