So it looks really good from all angles but one, in my opinion. From the 4/5 o'clock position if standing behind the car, due mostly to the larger rear quarter panel and sloping fast back (like my stock 67 was). But I retified that by putting a 68 GT500 decklid on it. Made my 67 FB look a lot better in my opinion. Looks like Galphin Motor Sports (GAS) is already making a similar decklid (see silver car at the bottom).

Unfortunately the car was on the carousel and I couldn't approach the car to get in the interior or look under the hood. But I will say I think I found my next mustang to buy.

On the pictures I did the best I could but it was moving on the carousel so they are not as sharp as I would like. I don't use a flash as that creates harsh shadows and they never turn out right.

So in my opinion, this is the angle I don't like. See how Galpin changed the rear deck lid and bumper and it makes a big difference. Ignore the "Rocket" lettering.

Same angle:

As a final note I think the car comes across much better in person vs these pictures.

Great pics! I think it would look a little better with a 10+ Shelby style wing but it's still a bad ass Mustang!

Was looking at an Ecoboost and a GT at the local dealer the other day and the regular production car looks better in person as well in my opinion. None of the pictures seem to capture and show the body lines totally.

Paul I agree. I like that deck lid if it was on the 350. The 350 is such a nice improvement over the 550 but I still can't get over the front.

I think the headlights and grill are decent on the 550, but the lower portion of the front is where it went bad for me. I have seen them in person and the more I do the more I like it. I think it will grow on most over time.

Good lord there is so much want for this car. Those brakes are a work of art imo. I just hope SHW and SVT or whoever knows what their doing with those drilled rotors.

Excellent pictures Paul!

Thanks. I am going to upload some more Auto Show pics. Lots of great cars. They did not have a Z/28 there though. But I saw everything else I wanted, even the new Toyota FT1. That car looks really busy in pictures but somehow it looks way better in person.

Oh, and just because:

Cool pics, pretty women and nice cars are always good. Not sure why Ford decided to paint match part of the diffuser under the GT rear bumper to body color. The all black diffuser under the gt350 looks so much better.

I like this front better than the standard 2015 GT:
