Title: Bad ideas
Post by: oldraven on November 11, 2004, 02:24:59 PM
Some people need an assistant to help them think clearly.

A mustang is a horse, not a bear.
This one is an obvious photochop though.

That mustang looks like the  child of a peterbilt and a GT

Just think, if that is a real GT it's a perfectly good HO swap donor car going to waste...

...unless they did a 350 SBC swap to go along with the rest of the ... :p

Since when was a 350 SBC ever a  engine? Seriously man. I know you don't like Chevy's, but the 350 has always been a respected lump. Reliable and easy to make gobs of power with.

Now if you'd have said 305, I'd be right there with you. True  motor. I'd know. I'm throwing mine away. :D

You two and your Ford VS Chevy bickering :rolleyes: ...almost makes me think I'm on, well, the Ford VS Chevy board!
 
FWIW, Oldraven, a 350 (or any Chev engine) instantly becomes junk when installed in anything but a Chevy. A Ford engine becomes junk when installed in anything but a Ford (shelby's and other "factory" conversions excepted). I'm not a Ford guy, but I do cringe whenever I see a Ford with a Chevy in it. I'm somewhat of a purist that way... kind of like when you cringe when you see a TC with a 5.0 in it ;)

You're not going to change my opinion of 350s, so don't even waste your breath. I have no respect for it and never will. If there's any SBC I have even an iota of respect for, it's the 327.

Knowing that you are never going to change my opinion, please do not derail the thread further. I thought we had reached an understanding about where the two of us sat.. don't need you rehashing things.

I'm going through a sleep time correction, from being up all night to a "normal" sleep pattern. I've been doing this quite often since I was a teenager. Whenever it happens, I'm more likely to chew someone's head off for stuff like this. Please keep that in mind as well before you form another response. It's 10:20 PM and I haven't even had my morning coffee yet.

Now, can we get back to the thread being a humorous one?

Absolutely. This thread has nothing to do with Chevy's. I picked all Fords to appeal to you guys. Besides, I'm getting really sick of defending Chevs here and defending Fords on the Chevy truck board. (I actually used you as an example of what non chev people think of closed minded  like this. Consider me warned.) :giggle:


Ok, back to business.

These were the pictures used in an ebay sale.

How about at least the tackiest steering wheel cover they could find, then?

Not only Mustangs and mid-80's G-bodies have fallen victim to such treachory. One of our own MN12 brothers was defaced in an almost identical way:

Makes you wonder what, exactly, was in that Crown Royal...

I think you can sum that car up with one phrase. There's a reason 'no one's ever done this before'.

That is the first real-life MN-12 convertible I've seen.  I bet it's loose as a goose.

Didn't they produce a convertible MN-12 Cougar?

Nope, just a prototype as listed on Eric's site.

You have to read the text to get it. :giggle: Look at Mr. Peter in the bushes.


Another view.

I know this isn't a ford, but it was too cool to pass up.
