The passenger side 1/4 looks mashed up. Plus, even if it was in great shape, the Thunderbird is a WAY cooler car. Plus, who would want to drive a belly button?

The only thing aero Fox Mustangs are good for is being donor vehicles, and really they're not very good at that. Overall, they're only a MINOR upgrade over anything people are using the parts for.

But then I like TurboCoupes too...

It's not a g match here. Just funny. For every mustang stripped for a Thunderbird, there are 10 TurboCoupes stripped for Mustangs...
