I was right, and it's because it's a one piece panel.
It's clean all the way across. The 67 tail lamps are actually better. Less crowded...
The GT/CS bumper would look much better than the one on that picture.
It's way too fat.

MELLOWYELLOW, that's what you want right there!

I dunno...
It must be for someone who misses their SUV! The rear is like one big wall. Does the trunk look functional anymore?

And the chrome around the tail lights shouldn't come to a point like that. But I guess the import fan who designed those never saw photos of the real deal from 67?

Too bad because it looks like a clean mod too.

Errrr... it's the real deal.
Those tail lamps are the 67 Shelby, which were taken from a 67 Cougar.
See for yourself...

Which means, extensive custom work on the trunk lid.
It has to be just like the 68 Shelby...

That particular car looks like ass with that ugly ducktail.
It's flat and too tall, yikes!
Yeah.. What Pascal said. That ducktail is skyscraper tall
