Retro / Old skool ?

Capri

Saw this company - http://www.retrobuilt.com/index.htm advertising my old Shelby style Mustang but figured something was wrong with the design

I reckon some companies are modifying new Mustangs / Camaros to look like the old models, whereas other companies are using the old shells with modern components.

I'd prefer the latter as the new stuff has to much electronic bits to go wrong.

Sorry but that "retro Mustang" looks sh1te IMO, the proportions are all wrong.

If you want to put new technology in an old shell, fine by me, but making a pigs arse of it like that is wrong. I don't mind cars designed from scratch to look retro such as the New Beetle, Nissan Figaro etc or newer technology in an old frame such as the Rover RV8 but a half job like that is embarrassing.

Each to their own I suppose but that's my 2c.

Agree totally. When I first saw the pics I said "Something wrong here", then compared them with the real McCoy and saw all the differences.
