I really admire the sense of 'that sounds pretty cool'..........not so sure about the follow up, "Well, this is what it looks like, pretty cool hey....."
not built by ford. built by joe ramp. so maybe if i build the clark family truckster i could get that kind of money. ha ha ha. seriouly it is arare type of item. and it goes to shwo what real custom cars are all about. doing something unique that will catch the eye of many and or wow others.
for my opinion on it. its ugly. yet it is kind of neat. i dont like the hatchback idea at all. i did like the magazine pictures of the tailgate that dropped down that barney built. brown interior wouldnt have been my choice in red car. and ebay probably isnt going to profit penny one from this listing as it may not reach the reserve price.
Cool "grocery getter", and...it has a little 302 in it!
Thanks for sharing.

I'm amazed that guys can do things like this. I guess they were trying to make it practical to drive often somehow, yet like Bobby's saying, it would have a whole new attitude with an over-the-top drivetrain.
As far as its looks, it's amazing to me how similar it actually looks to those old magazine articles. My personal evaluation though is that it makes a Mustang look like...a wagon!
Thanks for all the comments/opions & etc.
I thought they kept the mustang lines even while extending it.
I would like to own one.
It is amazing what can be done .
Thanks again.
This is a great place.

i kind of thought it looked a pinto rear too. but not quite. it does have something that says pinto about it. but to a mustang fan the word pinto and mustang may not mix well in the right crowd.
Do you suppose that and the one that someone made from a charger is what inspired dodge to make the magnum?
