Mollox Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Shadow began as a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach One which had already seen a hard life, according to stories I heard of the previous owner(s), and by the state of affairs in which I found the car at purchase. It sported a black exterior and white interior. 351 cubic inch Windsor motor and FMX 3-speed transmission. No air conditioning, no power brakes, no power windows or locks. It did have power steering. Fake hood scoop. Fake rear brake scoops. Fastback profile. The only spoiler was the small hump built into the trunk lid and rear corner pieces. Drum brakes all around. No anti-sway bar on the rear; just a small one under the front. Limited slip rear-end (not posi-traction like I believe Steve's Boss 351 was). A 20 gallon gas tank I believe (my notes fluctuate on this point, possibly due to me contemplating different tank arrangements). It sported slotted mag wheels. It appeared filthy and ill-treated.

RedRobin Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I much prefer the Shelby versions and the one in "Bullit" was far more elegant. Chavved front treatment on that Looneyham imo. An early Tyresmoker!....... Funny how these images bring back the memory and sounds of that whole movie car chase - still one of the very best imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
