I'm hoping Ford will build a special edition Mustang celebrating the GT500 like they did for the Bullitt (2001) and Mach I (2003).

But that's a thread for another day! :cool:

I'm not a guy, but I love that car.:) Isn't that Nicolas' personal Mustang?

Oh, goodness, it's a car. And an old car! I don't get it. :rolleyes: Does it have A.C.? It's too old to have air bags and anti-lock breaks. Did they even have seat belts back then? And what's that big bump on the front hood? You could fit a lot more people in a van. :)

Nice thread, Scott, thanks. Those '60 era Mustangs were some great cars. Wish I had one.

Did they really give that car billing on that film?
