Watched it last night; if you like John Wick, it's got that sort of theme to it.

Fright Night from 1985 was on last night had a red 66 fastback complete with grey patches.  Apparently was the writer/directors own car.

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.
1969 Mustang Sportsroof (8+ year Project are they ever completed)
1969 Cougar Eliminator (Sadly sold)
1972 Gran Torino Sport (Sold)
1968 Mustang Coupe (Sold)
Read about "Eliminators" below

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 .

Yep, I believe in 68 this became law in the USA and cars from 68 onwards have these features.

lol, I just noticed the error. The front quarter window is the instant give-away that it's 68 or earlier

While watching Casino on Friday night, noticed Sharon Stone driving a 66 dark Blue convertible and a couple of 71-73 models in the back ground

Wanted, is one I saw not long ago, amazing stunts, but mostly CGI I suspect?

They're testing this one out on Mythbusters right now.

Dunno if it technically qualifies as a movie, but "Ben Collins: Stunt Driver" has a couple of nice Mustang sequences featuring old and new.

Cheesy but fun...
Cheers,
