This is a 1965 Mustang with a Fiberfab nose. Fiberfab was a kit car company that was founded in 1964 by a guy who was arrested for murder just a few years later. So that part of the company’s history isn’t super pleasant, but the company continued without him for many years, making beach buggies and GT40 replicas and all the usual kit car stuff. But the most interesting things they made, at least in my opinion, were these aerodynamic fiberglass front clips for first-gen Mustangs:

It’s a bit of an unusual look for a mustang, but I think it totally works. And what’s really cool is that it appears you can still buy the things: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

interesting - wonder what that does for the aero at speed, (might make it worse?)  Kind of GT40-esque

I keep coming back to this to see if it will grow on me, but I’ve been lusting after the 65 for so much of my life I just can’t.

Confirmed... works.

This is actually from my sons car bin. I told him to find it after showing him the photo above and he retrieved it within a minute.

Yeah, this might actually induce lift. It's interesting though!

I suppose that’s fair. But then again, I didn’t like the cybertruck when I first saw it, but weeks later...

That’s amazing. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Jim Spanfeller 01/20/2020 at 23:02

Looks really good on the fastback, not so much on the Coupe.
