Waste of a nice car
If that is the case then fine , but I have seen furniture made from parts of real cars - beds in V8 Hotel , tip gear sofa etc .I strongly suspect it’s made of fibreglass and very few Mustangs were injured in the course of its manufacture. So that’s alright then.

Hard to say it’s a waste without knowing what state it was in before - it could have been damaged in a roll, a blow engine or transmission.
A fine piece of upcycling.
Given that it has a front end , back end and most of all four wings , unlikely to be crash damage ; also with the values of Mk1 Mustangs now , a mechanical failure is unlikely to write one off ...
That being said , even allowing for the middle being cut out , the pool table looks smaller in scale than the real thing , so I suspect it is just something made up .
I like it.
Although I'm confused as to whether it's a V8 or a 6-pot?
Yes I did , but as ever , you now quote something you didn’t say : you only said ‘in a roll’ : it would be unusual in the extreme for a car to roll over damaging only the roof , and leave all other panels unscathed .As ever you haven’t read the comments - I referred to a roll over with roof damage, which is far harder to rectify

Surely it is not THAT much of a stretch that undamaged panels could not have come from such a car ?now you are just being deliberately obtuse
obviously a car that has rolled is unlikely to have damaged only the roof....clearly the point I was making is that roof damage would make it uneconomic to repair...A point even stevie wonder would see...
So which was faster in real life ?Some interesting or not so interesting facts about Steve McQueen aka Frank Bullitt’s Mustang.
Sean Kiernan, who sold the iconic Bullitt Mustang last week for £2.6 million has confirmed that the car's new owner will not restore it.

My monies on the Mustang because of the Mods and that addictive exhaust note. In the film apparently McQueen insisted on the Mustang being de-badged.So which was faster in real life ?
Bullit/Shelby Mustang or Dodge Charger ?
