Interesting. I didn't realize that was the "fox body" platform.

There's a YouTube vid of someone tuft testing the rear glass/deck lid of a fox body notchback... I'm betting they would have seen different results on that fastback...

Wouldn't mind having that available as a kit car... Pop in a low HP engine, skinny tires...

The mustang is the one Ford I would own after my last found on road deads and fix or repair dailies. Never lucked out with a first on race day.

I'm not sure; that's what the photo was titled, so I went with it - found it browsing concept cars on a ford mustang forum.
Looks more like the mustang II than the fox platform. Ugly but looks like good aero.

Agreed. Looks more like the 'Pinto year' of the Mustang. Looks like they were experimenting with tail light styles, too.
