Default As much as I love my '88 and '06 Mustang

I can't help to wonder what designers might have given us if they had incorporated the flaired fenders of the early 80s Capri. I had an '83, and those fenders were killer.

I'll pass. I would have much rather had the hips of a 69'.

There we go! I'm not crazy about the fender half moon lip. No way history will change, just looking at some fantasy alternatives.

Wow, the classics BOSS Mustangs look awesome. By the way, how large is the 428 engine?

What a ****ing car! Can you imagine having that parked in your driveway?

It's also notable a few s197 styling cues readily identifyable, the fog lights and thehalf moon fenders.

I don't get it! Isn't "Boss Hemi" a contradiction of terms???
Imagine if it was a real Boss, which probably didn't come with such a huge hoodscoop
Love those hips though

Hemi simply refers to a hemispherical combustion chamber, the Boss was the first Ford to ever have it. And for a simple conversion use this forumula 1 liter = 61.02 cubic inches. So a 428 would be basically 7 liters.

I can't even comprehend 7 liters in a regular car. I know some supercars have that kinda displacement but men I would **** if I had 5.2 liters. 7? man....

That's the original Boss 429. It came with that large hood scoop and had some very aggressive styling.
