They should have called it the Escape Lightning, Galaxie, Falcon XE or something like that.

How about Pinto?

Volume control exhaust

Reminds me of glass packs 60 years ago

Have a look at this click-bait:

I’m pretty sure it’s totally fake.

Tom don’t do cars anymore, now he just sells motors, but he made a few just like the code red for quite a few people as well as other cars. The entire drive train needs to be replaced with extreme performance parts. Full roll cage, parachute, ... they were pretty awesome.

Are they actually a real thing? I’m not a Ford guy, and half the stuff on YouTube is some kind of scam.

Single men buy a pickups or skip the mustang stage and get the corvette. I agree it’s a travesty, but the economy has crushed the former buyers of mustangs.

A lot of Mustangs were sold to women over the years. Many women have decided they prefer an SUV or a "crossover" which is what this version of the Mustang looks like.

$224,995 For that Shelby. Ouch.

That's the marketing car. The money is in the lower priced variants - just like Stellantis does with the Challenger.

"Check out this Challenger SRT Demon 170 with 1,000+ horsepower. Now let's get you into a Challenger SXT. It's just as cool and it's in your price range."

“I actually own of those in that exact color scheme... 1978 Mustang King Cobra... anemic 302 2V with a 4-speed and T-Tops.”

Quick car... Anytime you put a V8 in a Pinto you have a quick car... Throw a four barrel on that and it will be a FAST car... :)

We used to build V8 pintos back in the day and these Mustangs were just Pintos with different shaped sheet metal around them.

Yep.... Pinto frames that needed subframe modifications if running any substantial HP otherwise it got twisted.

Yep, we had to beef ours up. And because we were cutting down 9” limited slip rear ends you didn’t even think about driving it in slippery conditions. But they sure were a lot of fun in a straight line... :)
