BTW, that was the 5th vote for 65-66. Still seems like the 67-68 body style is the favorite.

When everyone is referring to the "hips" we're talking about the rise in the quarter panels, not the width.

On the 68...


On the 05-09...


And on the '10...

I was originally looking for a classic and after years got fed up with rust buckets, hack jobs, and ppl that thought their car was worth millions. I will still have a 69/70 sportsroof restomod one of these days.

The classic love is part of the reason I have the front signal I do, the round reflector reminds me of the 64.5-68's signals.

While I have not yet, I've been very tempted to 69/70 mach my car out. Shaker hood, black panel hood, blacked out chin, Magnum 500 wheels, etc.

The bump up in bodyline just aft the door.

Ahhhhhh, thank you for the clarification. That does make sense. I guess I prefer my cars and women to be skinny, with smaller hips .

Within the next few days, my BOSS / Mach 1 style parts will be for sale (8k of use, always garaged). I have a black front CDC spoiler, black factory GT rear spoiler and black rear trim panel (goes between the taillights). It would be nice to sell them as a package, but individually is fine.

No, no, no. The S197's lack of a hip does not make it skinny, it merely makes it flat, and boring. And no one wants that in a car OR a woman.

I might be interested in the spoiler. Pricing?

HAHA, well she would be skinnier with less hips. Which one are you talking about, the front or rear spoiler?

Just send me a PM for pricing about the BOSS / Mach 1 parts.

Here's one of my favorites Mustangs of all time. I simply like the style and purpose of the car.

What engine do you intend to drop in? Find a 429 Cobra Jet!

Oh, heck no. I'll stick with the small blocks. I like my 281ci engine.
