After watching Furious 6 (with my Skyline loving teenage son - we disagree on muscle -v- rice burner but I'll talk him round) I thought it'd be cool to see how many movies/TV shows everyone can list that had a Mustang in them.
I'll start with Furious 6 - a 69 Fastback that they destroyed :cry:
The obvious one - Gone in 60 Seconds - both the 1974 movie (a 71 Stang modified to look like a 73?) and the Nic Cage movie in 2000 with the 67 Fastback Eleanor. :drool:

GTR34 skylines kick ass.
Im not a Jap car fan, but the R34 is something I wouldn't mind. AWD, insane power, Turbo upgrades, uses power at will, can turn them down for economy and when someone wants to give you a run, turn them up to 800+ HP, cant do that with muscle cars unless they have turbos which is kinda not what you do to them.
That is a seriously fast car. Its also the 'muscle' looking jap car compare to the rest of them. Probably why I like it.
Still, mustang 69 fastback wins! :pepper:
Be happy he isnt into what my friend likes, Mitsubishi Evolutions which... well... look hideous.

The Night Stalker (1971)
The Night Strangler (1973)
were both movies that led to the Night Stalker TV show with Karl Koljak (Darren McGavin) driving a yellow 66 Convertible. This show scared the crappers out of me as a kid. It used to be played on a Saturday night in Melbourne and was introduced by a character called 'Deadly Ernest' - scary for an eight year old, but probably funny to my olds.

Ahh yes, Deadly Earnest, I loved him too.

A bit obscure but with young kids we get to watch kids movies sometimes:
The movie "Cars 2" (Disney/Pixar animated) - Brent Mustangburger is a blue 64 1/2 Coupe as one of the race announcers.
A few other classics in there - Aston Martin DB5, E-type Jag, Chevy Monte Carlo? :grin:

Funny you should mention that movie Herman as my 67 Mustang is possibly the car in that movie. When I bought it I was told it was an ex movie car from California (It has the camera trailer mount brackets on the chassis for filming work). I did a bit of trawling through the internet for production details and locations and comparing my car to the one in the movie there are quite a number of similiarities that make me think it is the same car.
Whether I can ever prove it is another question though.....

Not quite right that is a 67 or 68 vert, looking at those pictures I can't tell which year exactly because of the customization of it but someone else here maybe able to.
-
Looks like a 67 to me .no light on the rear guard .
-
68's have reflectors (not lights) on rear guards and side lights/blinkers on front guards.
-
That's what I meant . I have owned two 68s ,one was an early one the other was a late 68 were the side reflectors are different . The early 68 had a rectangular reflector and the later 68 after feb had a oval shaped reflector with a chrome trim . 68s also had a front rectangular reflector on the lower front guard .
-
On my '68, the front one is a park light/blinker
-
Yes bloody light
-
Sorry Glenn, Just playing with you. :smile01:

68's have reflectors (not lights) on rear guards and side lights/blinkers on front guards.
Yep, I believe in 68 this became law in the USA and cars from 68 onwards have these features.

Yes the 68s were the 1 st with the crap , inside the door handles and that good looking (Not ) steering wheel

Yep, '68's had the ugliest steering wheel ever.

Maybe I should have said "Inner Space from 1987 with Martin Short and Dennis Quaid - convertible". I been schooled!
