Knew a guy with a 67 Shelby in that color

It was beautiful

My youngest son brought one home from his dealership for me to test drive...

So, doing what any 87-year old remembers doing 73-years ago in his 1935 water-injected Ford, I floored it just for fun...
And left an "electric brick" on the seat...

I'm finishing the restoration on my 67 Camaro by this summer. Engine and tranny are in. It will look something like this (though mine is a base, not SS)

But now that I've seen the gorgeous E-Mustang, should I trade my Camaro in???

More proof that the Electric Vehicle "Industry" hires only the most Moron of humans as their designers and engineers.

A $5 battery maintainer would keep the 12V Lead-Acid battery at full charge indefinitely without damage.

Agreed. I’ve seen one of these monstrosities on the road and even though I’ve never been a fan of the Mustang, I was embarrassed for Ford when I saw it...

Looks to much like something the Reverend Sung Yung moonies built.

Imagine rat control over an EV society, the one in which they banned the internal combustion engine (except the SUVs for senior party members). Grids that can’t keep up with demand now will crash.

Say your small town or county resists rezoning to woke standards. With a flip of the switch The Party can immobilize wide swaths of the American populace.

Never buy a car newer than 20 years old!

Nissan’s Leaf had & solved the same problem years ago.
Embarrassing to make the same mistakes competitors did.

Bad design - didn’t take into account some areas get really cold... I wouldn’t want this car in International Falls.
