Very beautiful car. Not so much a muscle car as luxury sport touring car in the vain of Bentley.

Side profile looks good. The picture of the back just looks off. A little too round for me. Kind of reminds me of a porsche 928.

It is a 2009 1/2 Iacocca Mustang. There were only 45 made - one for every year the Mustang has been in existence (this was number 39). It was named after Lee Iacocca, the man behind the original Mustang concept.

I personally like the fast back look. Like Pascal said, it reminds me of the 67/68's, but with modern engineering.

I was just poking in jest and looking at getting a rise from 05xrunner for dissin' the 05-09 rear. Actually, the Iacocca's rear is rather bulbeous. Other than the sweet exhaust outlets, it looks cumbersome.

But I love how swept back the roof line goes. It reminds me of an HO scale Aurora Road Race Shelby I have buried away somewhere.

I like it, but I like the 2010+ better. It looks more like a REAL fastback version of the 05-09 mustang. I personally dig the 2010 rear tailights better than those ones.

Pictures don't do the rear justice. The rear of the car looks great in person! What I liked about the car is that the styling is very subtle... the rocker panels aren't flared out and there aren't any tacked on scoops. Very refined look. IMO, the best looking Mustang I've ever seen.

ever since they released the 2010+ rear end cosmetics, I've never liked it. Then I get to read this today, classic!

IMO, the custom car posted by the OP captured the retro lines of the classic Mustang better than any other has to date. It's sexy!

The idea is great but its just not the right flow for that style
