Arrow looky here...

Saw a 'sonic blue' 05 GT on an Ebay listing(was told at Cleveland auto show only the light blue would be offered). Now I really, really want one- heres the stock vs quick photoshop of what I'd like to do to it- minor changes to make it more "69-ish": no quarter glass, 69 emblems, slats, black wing, torque-thrust-d or bullitt wheels...also think a 69 cougar eliminator(flatter boss 429 type) scoop would go well with it. so what do you think?

Re: looky here...

Now we're talkin', that looks much better (I don't like that quarter glass), just lower it a little. Also, maybe some '67-'68 style vents would look better instead of the quarter window?

I like the slight lowering- I'd have put rwl tires on it too, but didnt have a decent pic...your magnums might go well too!

Re: looky here...

heres why I'm partial to black-on-blue fastbacks...hate to say it but I think I like the slightly modified 05 pic as much as the 69...my wifes liable to kill me if I dont quit talking about getting an 05...


would love to get the 69 done(had the motor out since '84- or was it '85...) and have a 'matching' 05...

Re: looky here...

I like it filled in too. Some how it also makes the car look smaller.

Re: looky here...

Looks better without the windows, apart from if you were sitting in the back seat. I would bet that the setup you have done in your photoshop will come out as a special edition in the future (perhaps without the window fill-in or rear slats).

Re: looky here...

I'm sure it wont take the aftermarket too long to come up with panels/louvers to stick over those windows. Something like the 67-68 Shelby moulding would look good IMHO.

They already have. Take a look at the pics of Mustangs from the SEMA show. Sema:2005 Mustang Vehicle Projects

Re: looky here...

Saw the coolest hood/shaker setup at Columbus "all ford" swapmeet-
check out www.fangperformance.com - they added a center spear to the hoodline (ala 1969), and use a 2004 mach1 shaker assembly- the guy had a black one sitting there and it looked perfect. He also had their rear spoiler on it- kinda flares up just like a 69-70...looked nice, but to me the wing is still "it" for a fastback, and I dunno if the pedestal mounted wing would sit right like it does on a 69-70...their site is under construction, but you can kinda see what their shaker hood looks like on there.
