GypsyR 32 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 I think it's beautiful but realize I am in a very small minority so I'm posting it. Just after purchase and on its way home. Stripped naked for drag racing, (supposedly) it's even worse than it looks. The doors are underneath it. Like they matter as they are useless except for the latches and latch/lock rods. Work has yet to commence much as I have a '67 in the garage. I felt sorry for the '69 and built a pole shed over it so at least it doesn't have to sit in the weather while it waits.

70mstang 11 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 As much work that went into that car .. Sorry the dude's dad passed away .. but that is a seriously messed up scheme on that Mustang. It'd take more than the car is worth to undo that crap. I kinda like the ground effects .. the hood is different. But this car definitely belongs on this list!

69gmachine 15 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 I don't think it would be that hard to make it look OK... just a few rattle cans of black paint and some new seat covers from J.C. Whitney would go a long way to making it look righteous. Of course it wouldn't hurt if the onlooker was slightly stoned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted October 23, 2012 Seems more the type of thing you would have done to a Van back in the 80's, not a Mustang much less a low number '70 vert. I wouldn't be surprised if the comment about his Dad was to avoid smart ass comments, I can't believe they would think it was all that for real. We need to upload some of those pics to the thread directly so we can retain it after the ebay page disappears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the exact same thing -- 70's though, not 80's. Just by looking at the woodwork, velour seat covers and exterior graphics, you just know this guy had one of these in the 70's before he got busy on the Mustang....

I was always a little more partial to the half naked sword weilding woman on a dragon or tiger myself but yeah, that's about where this type of thing belongs (if anywhere).

Again, I was thinking the exact same thing. I just couldn't find a picture of a Wizard in a purple robe with a naked chick riding by on a white stallion. Which is weird, because I used to see those vans everywhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flanders 46 Report post Posted October 26, 2012 I went to go look at this mustang before I found mine. It was hideous. Aside from some rust bubbling through along with some bad bondo work, it had a funky shelby-style spoiler fibreglassed on the back (not a smooth job either) and black duct tape holding half of the interior together. Apparently it's won a lot of awards :D The real ugly factor came from the paint. It had yellow box/stripes all over, along with some castles/dragons on the c-pillars. The owner was very proud of the air brushing he had done, and accused me of being a f'in "tire kicker" when I refused to give him an offer on the car (he was asking for what a fully restored car goes for) These are the only pics I have at work (from the seller) but I'll post of a few beauties once I get home.

RogerC 136 Report post Posted October 26, 2012 I had friends that had vans like this back in the early 80s. I always liked the murals. I resist the urge to do anything like that to my cars. even though I like the artwork in general. I prefer much more subtle accenting and/or decoration. My personal transportation, since I started driving in the late 70s, has always been something different than your typical sedan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
