That car looks like an early model Z car. It no longer looks like a Mustang.

A simple grille block should do just fine. Remember this car ? :

POINT TWENTY Cd tested in a wind tunnel.

So is this car a fastback car ? I love the look of fastback cars of this era.

Yeah it was a fast back 66

Actually, I meant to say the '68 that the project is planned for.

I love the look of the '68 fastback. The curve is even better than the '66 and closer to 'ideal'.

I hd a 66 coupe so I am a little biased.
But the 67-68 fastbacks have really grown on me over the years....

Evidently my first idea didn't float far, but is was after a fine dinner with "enough" good wine!
I do like the partial Hybrid idea using a small ICE, small diesel, or even a high compression Pinto 2000 motor although that would probably move the Mustang well enough on its own, with the right gearing. Best to just get rid of the large engine, trans and even put a lighter axle in it for the electric drive.
