The Real Deal?

Post by Stu Twin »

Not sure if this has been on here before, i know we're not a Mustang forum but this (if real) is surely one of the coolest cars ever....

and currently has a perfect patina.

It was cool Steve McQueen wanted to keep the car, so it wouldn’t get tarted up and restored.

The other stunt car found in Mexico has mostly unoriginal body panels. This thing is all original.

Doesn’t get much cooler.

Yup. The real deal. It was always alleged to be out there awaiting the owner to die and someone deciding to show it to the world.
