That's as much a 1965 Mustang as a WRC has anything to do with the
regular counter part...

The video is very nice never the less :) Make sure to turn up the volume
of your sub(s)

I laughed at 7 min 20 seconds. They threw in a recreation of the slow speed freeway chase of OJ Simpson 20 years ago..

WOW!

That was AWESOME! It must have cost a motsa to organize and film this video considering the number of police cars involved. From the
skid marks you can see there were more than one take on quite a few of the scenes.

I have a 1967 Mustang FB GT, 4 speed in the garage. If I could find the
correct engine, 289 stock 4Bbl, complete I'd have a fast Mustang!

Doing doughnuts around a doughnut shop while cops look on. Everyone knows cops like doughnuts! Laughing


My '67 Mustang GT fastback had tilt steering and disc brakes. A PO had put a 390 in it. For a hunk of junk, it was very FAST. Just what every 17 year old needs!

The '65 I had a few years later was even faster on everything but off the line... I could bury the speedo (120mph) in 3rd gear with one more gear to go.

But for GMC content: Mustangs do not make good towds. Best to put them on trailers.

The one I loved was when he did San Francisco...reminiscent of the movie Bullit although Steve McQueen would have never been able to pull off driving like this.

I have not watched the video but Mike, why do you say Mustangs do not make good toads? I plan to tow my 65 FB 289 stick. I towed it 300 miles once with no issues. Just curious.

IIRC the manual transmissions used then are ok to pull four down. My concerns are mostly dealing with the strength of the structures in the nose of the Mustangs of that era. If you find or design & build a good base plate that reaches back to the stronger sections you shouldn't have much problem. You'll also need to keep an eye on the front alignment. I seem to remember that having problems with that.

Ok Mike, I hear ha. I actually used a uhaul bumper hitch on the front bumper. I checked my bumper braces good first. Worked great for the short tow. But, I would have something built more permanent when I get ready to "really tow" it.
