Harry P. Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Erik, that Edsel needs a longer rear... needs to be stretched a little bit between the rear window and the back end. But a cool idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornistfuller Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Erik, that Edsel needs a longer rear... needs to be stretched a little bit between the rear window and the back end. But a cool idea! yeah i was trying to make it look modern, i actualy stated by drawing a mustang, thats why it has the short rear. if i had the facilitys to make fibreglass body panels, i would totaly make conversion kit for the 2010 mustang. i get the feeling it would'nt exactly sell like hotcakes tho... some people just dont like awsome cars. hmmm is need to make a teletouch transmission tho...how would i do that? lol by the way, im almost sure i saw that that tranzam rendering in hot rod magazine. some companys making convo kits and seling them. thats a real car.

Casey Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) What if Chrysler designed a 2-door Magnum?: This was a quick PS job, as you can still see the kink in the upper window/roof frame...but it looks a lot sleeker than the original IMO. Existing pic- I never would have chosen these wheels! Edited April 27, 2010 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's a shame this one never made it to production, as Pontiac had a great performance image and many styling cues to work with in the late '70s: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 the mustang wagons were known as "mustang stallions". I forget how I ended up finding this one, but what a cool barn find one of these would be: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Fun with Photoshop, looks like. Lots of interesting what ifs. A phantom I've long mulled is what would an Oldsmobile version of the F-body had looked like if Olds had it's own Camaro/Firebird equivalent from '67?

Casey Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'm working on it... Hmmm, lemme guess....Super Stock wheels, Rocket steering wheel, aluminum diff. cover, integral hood & header panel with a "widow maker" at the leading edge, and a small block Olds 350 underhood?

MikeeD Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I've always wondered about a 53 stude with a 63 split window vette fastback on it and keep the stude fenders and tail end.......hmmmmm.....aggressive stance, polished torque thrusters...

Matt P Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Harry, that '67 F-body Olds is awesome, It makes me want to stop my current projects and build one. Why didn't GM do this? Definitely a future project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Harry- have you ever tried a '70 Mustang with hideaway headlamps? It would've been cool looking. I have a suspicion that the styling department had precisely that in mind, but the bean counters nixed it, and they just slapped on those stupid, standard sealed beams in the grille.

Harry P. Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 You should! It would be cool. (You know, reiterating what I said earlier!) I never did like that style of Mustang... with the "inboard" headlights. It always looked a little goofy to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well get to 'shoppin and show us your rendition.................... OK... 2 different ways to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 NICE (to both). If I had ta pick one I'd probably go with the 1st one simply cause its blue. I actually like the second version. Not the color so much, but the "normal" headlights where they should be (not in the grille like the stock '70). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
