Looks a little like a GT500... but it still looks nasty in my opinion

Great, another "living legend". How different. I don't care for it at all... unoriginal bastards.

Looks good!

Nice and muscular. I'm not quite sure what else anyone could want out of a Mustang design.

The fastback greatly improves the looks over the convertible. I
like it.

Well I had one like the red one. Can't tell in the tiny picture if it's a 65 or 66. I like the the coupe, saw it on Autoweek, on Detroit channel 56 PBS on Sunday. He was talking to Mays from Ford about all the concepts to be at the Auto Show. Also had a segment with Chrysler/Dodge on the show.

I think the car is awesome, in the convertible or fastback. I will certainly buy one (or both) if they look like that.
