Current Mustang....... Why has no one tried this?

**EJ25RUN** · 03-07-2008, 08:03 AM

So i got the thinking about the current Mustangs. It seems that Ford has tried to revive every version of those cars: Bullitt, Parnelli Jones, Shelby, and to add to those we have the modern tuners: Roush, Saleen, Steeda.

I was wondering why no one has tried to differentiate with what i think is one of the best look for Mustangs. Here's an example.

All Mustangs from that era had the 3 bar Tail lights

When Ford did the retro comeback they incorporated the 3 bar setup. But it seemed to wide.

Soo......Saleen came out with a setup that is more proportional to the original but.... overall the saleen was an ugly car.

My question.......Why has no one tried to replicate the Shelby GT500 rear? I have always thought this was my favorite look for a mustang.

...then it would look like a camaro

Im not really sure if Im following your question. That rear of the last pic can easily be reproduced on an S197 with a few parts with the exception of the tailights. From the duckbill , to the side exhaust, to the quarter vents... However, are you talking the shape/tailights/etc?

Think he's talking about the car in general, including the taillights.

The main thing was the taillights.... there is a member on this site that has had his car coverted to an "Eleanor" look. But i'm asking about the tails. I mean if your gonna make a Shelby GT500 with the current Stang, it needs that rear.

That looks like a horrible butchered up job. That would not qualify. I want to see a factory like finish. The even look like their squinting.

Those covers do give you a blindspot from hell though. I think they look good, but driving with them on sucks @ss and I'm not a fan of the vented looking ones.

S'all good. I got you.

**Dwisforme05** · 03-07-2008, 11:25 AM

suprisingly the back window louvers ( im at school at pics dont show up due to internet blockers) but ran if ur talking about the rearwindow louvers ( back and side) its not bad at all. unless u get the cheap abs plastic REAR window louver. that creates a blind spot, but the MRT aluminum ones look like they arnt even there. all u see is v ery thin black lines. The side ones arent bad either. yeah it makes the blindspot a bit bigger but you can still see through them fine. i havnt had a problem.

I feel where you're coming from, but I've always been a fan of solid-design. The slotted ones like yours just never weremy style. Not saying they look bad, they're just not what I'm looking for. I would get the solid ones since they look good, but I don't want that big blind spot.

**Dwisforme05** · 03-07-2008, 11:42 AM

yeah like the cervini ones? thats why i got the slotted, more retro looking imo and not AS big of a blind spot. but i see what ur saying. whats next for your car?

Nothing for a long time. First mod will probably be an exhaust. Then a drop and some cosmetic enhancements.

You know all of the GT500s had those tails, not just Eleanor right?

I just want to make sure you're saying that the GT500s tails came from a cougar, not just that the Eleanor car's taillights came from a cougar...

Oh, and by the way, the 67-68 mustangs had far better looking taillights than the 64.5-66 (the ones the OP posted).

67-68:

**Ran** · 03-07-2008, 12:39 PM

I think my tails are sexy. I just want a black center panel.

**Nemesis** · 03-07-2008, 12:40 PM

I think change is good anyways.
