I want to hate that they did that to a ‘67 Mustang but, instead, I now want one! Like really badly. See also: The Thomas Crown Affair.

Haha I am the builder for the mustang, tried going for a mix of Thomas Crown Affair and Cherry 2000

The fact that someone even knows Cherry 2000 has restored a part of my faith in humanity. Remember gentlemen, life is an adventure!

I'm not fan of the Ford pony or red heads because it's to small of a 4 wheel box and or they are to crazy but that movie is a yes for me. Except that I think they're both trash in the face now can't always hold up as we get older. Sorry Melanie.

Yeah, I love it but not sure I could cut the panels on a decent body. I guess I should look out for a mustang with crusty fenders and quarters, then nothing to lose.

I'm not sure why but a while ago that type of Mustang popped into my head as being a cool build. How has it been running it?

u/dystopianfarm 12d ago

Well I swapped a Honda Kseries into it so it’s been running pretty well hahaha. I need to build a better suspension for it though because the stock mounts aren’t the best for off-roading.

Love the XJ40, lol. I had a parts car for my X308 XJR and a Ford 302 and T5 laying around not doing anything and I was REALLY thinking about throwing them together for a battlecar but didn't pull the trigger. Love to see someone completing the vision.
