Deanos75 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hey guys, I'm new here but wanted to share something that I cooked up: After seeing a few early release partial teaser photos of the upcoming 2010 Mustang, and some spy photos of the possible GT500 version, it got me thinking. What if Ford continued the lineage of the "King of the Road" GT500-KR version onto the 2010 Mustang? What would it look like? We know that the 2005 Mustang was designed with the 1968 in mind. From the clues I saw in the teaser photos of the 2010, it seemed as though the 1969-70 Mustang GT500 would make a good starting point for my illustration. The nose has been extended to cover the two round headlights and incorporates the bumper. The lower fascia is cut back with a gaping opening and fang-like brackets to support the lower spoiler. The hood harkens back to that on the 1970 GT500, with its four scoops and rear vents. The side scoops would be routed to help cool the big disc brakes hidden behind a modern version of the 1993 Mustang Cobra Turbine wheels. The final touch of nostalgia being the wide side stripe with the "GT500KR" tag on the front fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron W. Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Looks really nice, but for some reason the front reminds me of the Challenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Looks really nice, but for some reason the front reminds me of the Challenger. It's probably the outlined grille more than anything. I think it looks great! Welcome to the site, Deanos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford-150 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 looks great! but there is a little too much happening on the hood but the design is killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Very nice. Perhaps a bit too literal? Post a bigger pic.....I'd like to see more. I removed the camo on this 2010 Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 What's where it was, I didn't change it. Weird. The grille badges have always been in the center or drivers side on Mustangs in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Looks really nice, but for some reason the front reminds me of the Challenger. Looks great, but I agree, I thought Challenger when I first saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanos75 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey Guys, Thanks for all the comments! It was hard to get the modern look of the extended nose (similar to the '69-70 Shelbys) without it looking like the new Challenger. That was one reason that I cut the lower valance panel back to give it more of an actual bumper look. The spy photos showed the inner turn signal location and the slanted grill surround, so I took that basic outline and used it for the chrome grill insert. Hey F-150, yeah, the hood is the one area that I still need to work on. I really like the current KR hood, but I didn't want to carry that one over, plus the '69-70 Shelby hood was completely different than the '68's. Thanks for the comments, and keep them coming.

Yeah, my wife said "Chally" as well, but you're exactly right....lots of cues from the '70 with the NACA ducts and the narrow (short in height) grill treatment....looks awesome. bj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versa-Tech Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Nice hint of the '69-70 Shelbys It's more like a '69 shelby with a hint of 2010 mustang; stir-fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
