"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

"Owners can choose to start with an original body or a new recreation under official license by Ford."  I'm thinking Danacorn Body for the "Recreation Body"  I bet the Prices will be $175,000.00 and up.

They say 2,500 hours per car. Shop rate has to be at least $75 per hour plus the parts. I can't see anyone opting for a Mach 1 or Boss 302.

Ford will come to regret this decision, just as Shelby did with Unique

Its not news they have been doing it for years....apparently news to Australia is a little slow?

The way I read that, they are not destroying VINs, you can use you old body or get a new one.

That means you can have a "T" code Boss

Side-Oilers

Hmm, I don't know which one to choose. So difficult. Maybe an Ecoboost Mach 1.  That sounds awesome.

What's next, a hybrid B9?
