How cool is this? Love it.. but as I’ve nowhere to put it, sadly it will remain a dream along with the rest of the things I’d buy for my “man-cave”..

Waste of a nice car

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.

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 .

Fine if the donor vehicle was a write off .
 
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 .

As ever you haven’t read the comments - I referred to a roll over with roof damage, which is far harder to rectify
 
Do you really think a mustang is only 4ft wide?
 
I like it. :)

Although I'm confused as to whether it's a V8 or a 6-pot?

I think that's a 289 badge on the front wings. We'll have no underpowered rubbish here, thank you very much.

Cheers,

If it’s a real mustang it’s a very large pool table!

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 .

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...
 
The guys that made these used a real car cut down to correct size then made moulds to make them out of fibreglass for production.

Surely it is not THAT much of a stretch that undamaged panels could not have come from such a car ?

I have been to many dozens , if not into the low hundreds , of RTCs , including more than a few rollovers . I have NEVER seen a rollover which did not have extensive damage to every , or just about every , panel on the car .

Sure , it could have come from panels sourced from multiple cars , but unlikely , due to economics .
 
So which was faster in real life ?

Bullit/Shelby Mustang or Dodge Charger ?
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.
Good job it wasn’t a Merc. This bb would go into overdrive 😆
