I know tooooo old and so slow at this point but watch the driving video. That 3.8 and full tilt sounds amazing and looks to be a riot.

No doubt that the F body was the better handling car (as long as you didn’t mind the size), but my point then as now is that the Mustang was the better all around *car.* Amongst many other things, I like to see where I’m going when I drive.
And yeah the 302 was a 4.9. It was still plenty fast, for the time. Here’s some 30 year old bench racing. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...mparison-test/ |

I always wonder what horrors exist under the bodywork with these kinds of builds. |

https://www.parkplaceltd.com/ There is a couple of pictures (at the end of the listing pictures) briefly describing the build, but yeah, the builder even states it was in rough shape

The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would
Wow. My uncle had a Jetta from that generation when I was younger, and I’ve never been a big enough VW guy to know the details but it looked very much like that and I remember it having seats like that. I bet he’d be shocked to see what this one sold for!

Ha! The car I learned to drive on. Although, ours was not nearly so fancy and was a good deal older by the time my parents bought it used:

Wow, I did not know there was a "stripes delete" on Ford GT's
This really adds to the look of the red ones. IMHO https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...AxEpTB6nUPwFfk
