I actually know you'd be around the same price to totally upgrade a 69 to our (s197) standards...not a horrid idea, maybe i'll look at the site...

edit: i cannot believe most of you don't like the mach 1...it's simply beautiful, and for $10-$15K I'd already be there...for $23K? Hurts ( a little) but nah...One could have a very decent mach (69 or 70) for $25K...For those storage-ally challenged ???

Actually, I like the back end with the stock tail lights...
My bad.
I thought it was that other company (forgot who now) where they badly duplicated the 68 Shelby rear look.

Sorry but, in comparison to the original, that new Boss 302 looks like it's missing a couple brain cells. Absolutely no comparison.

Your Sig is frying my brain cell, It's so small, lol.
Please resize (250x500)

But yeah, you'll never get the lines of a Classic car...
The best attempt I saw about mixing those generations, was on a 68 Shelby.
I wasn't a big fan of the rear but the overall car was fine.

I think they look fantastic. Bit out of my price range and I can't help but wonder how much weight it adds.

Not at all. I totally agree with you guys that the price is sky high ridiculous for what you get. I just wanted to let you guys know that this kind of stuff exists and who knows, maybe some rich guy on here will throw out some pocket change and get one.
