Absolutely correct

Mustang fans dislike it because it went back to the roots of the original Mustang, just a bit too much. But they fail to realize that without it there would likely have been no future Mustangs. Or at least, Ford would have continued on with the idea of the Mustang/Probe. By the early 70's they were following the same evolution as the Mercury Cougar. They were bloated parodies of what they once were. With the rise in popularity of the personal luxury coupe, Mustangs would have just gotten bigger and softer. When the luxury coupe popularity ended, the Mustang would have been dropped.

@@christopherconard2831 I remember reading an interview with the director of Diamonds Are Forever where he spoke at length about the "absolute nightmare" that filming the mustang car chase was because the Mustang's he was given by ford to shoot the movie were so large, heavy, overpowered and ill handling that the stunt drivers were having a hard time controlling them in the alleyways. Even after they ripped everything they couldt out of the in in camera cars as they could to try and make them easier to control they still went through half a dozen of them just shooting that short 90 second scene. That's actually the reason why the continuity of the shot at the very end of the scene is completely wrong. When they shot that scene using a regular off the shelf 'stang (for continuity with the studio shot scenes with sean connery driving) the unibody actually cracked in half when the car flopped back onto all four wheels so they re-shot it using one of the stiffened stripped out stunt cars, but they shot it in such a rush that they didn't realize the car was driving on the wrong two wheels until they edited the movie.

For so many things. He was brilliant

I love the outro too. The songwriter (Laszlo?) is in the credits, he did it especially for Tofer afaik. =)

It doesn't matter what year. Seriously, who doesn't love a Ford mustang? Absolute American icon

That’s what I had . It was really a neat little car.

Interesting. 📻🙂

Great! I thought it was only me that it had an effect on. Somehow the old intro just puts me in a good place. Cheers from a very cold bit of AU dan. =)

Can’t argue with that.

Yeah except Sabrina got saddled with a Pinto while Kelly and Jill got Mustangs. I remember thinking that was patently unfair.

​@@kcindc5539YES! My thoughts exactly!

@@natebeach great minds!

@@kcindc5539 Exactly! 🙌😎 ...I always thought Sabrina got the shaft for driving the pinto! I personally preferred Kelly Garrett's mustang, it wasn't too flashy. But we know who the favorite was, driving the Cobra with street decals and all lol.

@@natebeach Ha! Yes we sure do. And I completely agree. I was especially bummed because I had an even bigger crush on Sabrina than I had on Jill. So I did my best to ignore the fact Sabrina got the shaft compared to the other two. I did dig the Ghia with its little bolero landau vinyl roof.

So glad to hear you enjoyed it my friend!

@@TofersCarTales would never miss a Tofer production. you did did an efficient job keeping us posted when we could expect the full feature to be uploaded.

Yes, the outro is pretty great & it ends things very upbeat, but for me the [old?] intro theme & video is still the best.

The Fastback Shelby version, with a 4-speed manual and emissions-equipment deleted was kinda fun to drive compared to other American cars at the time. It was really more like the Chevrolet Monza than the Chevrolet Camaro.

The Cobra package 👌🏽

Agreed. I had one. And it wasn’t a bad car either. 🚗🙂

I agree

The maverick platform was a reworking of their old designs. . Big shock towers spring over the top arm. . Recirculating ball boxes and that awful power assist on it. . Plus the ball joints came factory worn out... layout wise it looks like every midsized ford from the 60s under the skin.

I think nostalgia, old videos & music is sorta the main theme here anyway =)
