Anyone see the commercial for the new Mustang in the Cornfield?

I don't want to spoil it for anyone but it is certainly cool.

I agree awesome commercial, but some of the younger members may need it explained to them. As far as us old guys go, may be the cooled car commercial of the year!

saw it...loved it...can't wait to see again!

Went and looked at the new mustangs yesterday. Nice car. Wish they would of went with the concept car though. Simular, but doesn't quite have the same impact when you see it.

My father had a 1968 fastback that he had custom ordered new. Bullit green, big block, 4 speed, etc. sold it when he married my mother as she couldn't drive stick... doh!

My first car was a 1966 Mustang that my father & I had restored. Hi-Po 289, 4-speed, fast little mofo car( just don't try to brake or turn). I really have a thing for the older Mustangs. The '80s & '90s cars never really did it for me.

Still the car holds a certain mystique.

I used to be a Mustang dood too.

I have noticed that Mustang guys always stare at 914s..

Redshift,

Just yesterday I was talking to a friend who had restored a '66 Mustang coupe for his wife's 40th birthday and he has always considered the 914 shape to be of a similar design to Ford's original pony car, especially when viewing from the rear quarter.

I'm only 16, and love the old mustangs (64 1/2- 70; Boss 302's ROCK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ), and love this new one. The commercial is great.

One question.

Who is the guy that drives the car away? He seems familiar, but I can't place him?

Loved the commercial, big fan of _____ ______. I've had 3 Mustangs, miss all of them. 1968 Mustang, 1969 Mach 1, 351 Windsor, and 1970 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yep, great comercial. I'm in the process of restoring a 70 Cougar convertible with a 351 Cleveland. I love Ford Racing as much as Porcshe Racing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I bought my best ever 914 from a Shelby guy I found in Hemmings... just a few blocks from my house.

My favorite Mustang is the T-5 export, fastback, white with blue/white pony, 200ci/6, with air. You could drive that car to hell and back 10 times, on a single tank of gas. HiPos are cool too... but that car was the best car I have ever owned.

I haven't seen anything but coupes around here in 5 years... there was a gold 289 Rcode that din't move..

Haven't seen the commercial - but - I have two words for you. Shelby 500.
Years ago I had a '69 camaro with a 327 fed by a 780 holly w/ headers/ traction bars. My bud had a new Shelby 500 - we raced - he smoked me. We raced again - he SMOKED me... that was the fastest car I ever raced. The shame!!!
Lost to a damn FORD!!!

Steve McQueen. Bullitt. 1968. Best chase scene ever. One of his best movies(after the Thomas Crown affair).

My mom does the book work at an autobody shop that specializes in early mustang restorations. Lots of really nice shelby's, boss 302's, even a couple GT-350's. Some day i'd love to have one...just not with the # of zero's on the price tag of these restorations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

My first car was a 1978 Mustang II. Second car was a 1966 convertable Mustang. 7th was a 1984 Mustang. 11th, 1965 Mustang coupe. 13th, 1992 Mustang. 16th, Porsche 914. I'll probably never own another Mustang. They just don't get it done like a Porsche. I feel like such a snob.

I want a Boss 429 as a daily.

Just watched Bullitt on tv. Great chase scene!! I used to have a couple of 66 Mustangs. I had a 66 'vert that I squeezed a 351 cleveland into. I raced the same dummy in his Camero every thursday night for pinks. Won every race, and gave him back his car at the end of the night. He kept trying. It was a great car, but I didn't put strong enough springs in the front, and it screwed up the front suspension. Should have kept that car, but a friend offered me his 65 Olds 442 for a great price, and I couldn't turn it down (great make-out car. Huge back seat. Ahhhh, the good old days....). Someday I'll win the lotto & find a 66 GT350H fastback. I just found out they made a few in red. I had only seen the black with gold, never red with gold. Looks cool.

Back in 74 I had a GT 500. .....the only year with the dual 4s....67??
Anyhew, that thing was the most evil handling POS I ever had.....cept for the 55 Ford SNB pickup with a 440 dodge.....auggh.

I once was stuck in a level gravel parking lot that had a light dusting of snow. That Shelby wouldn't move out of the 1 inch deep tire ruts.

Bout 900lbs of 428 over the front wheels. That gave meaning to the term "push". I gotta admit that power oversteer was available....specially when you didn't need it.

The good old days weren't.

Some asshole stolt it and it was outta my life. I didn't feel bad about it till they started selling for around 100K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hertz also had a few white cars with gold... that looks great. Wheels too.

How strange this thread comes along...

Was at a garage sale today and inside, for sale, was a 1965 white with red interior convertible. All original except it'd been repainted the original color. 289 auto and it was purty... $13,000.

My favorite is the first fastback (1965) or the first Shelby, the one with the windows instead of the louvers in the side of the top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
