Tone down/revise the wheels a bit and actually raise the car's ride
height a hair and this sucker would be perfect!

You surprise me.

Lose the wheels, lose the plastic rack plopped down over the rear window,
lose the wing, junk the fuel filler cap, leave the stripes, and it's done.

Nice blue, though.

My tastes must be changing with age.

The wheels need some black surfaces and less gloss. The size looks
appropriate. After all, a Boss car should be a track car, not a drag
racer.

I like the louvers on a Boss car. It's fits the retro look. Like the
Boss stripes.

> lose the wing,

Yes, I missed that. Though, it wouldn't hurt me to keep it attached.
At least it's flat black and has a low profile and not Cobra-R sized.
It really isn't any/much more than what our LXs came with, and
certainly not as in your face as the one sitting on the hatch of my
'93.

Again, it sorta fits that track-car/racer theme. Like the ones the old
'68-'70 Chargers sported.

Yes, the stripes are perfect.

> Nice blue, though.

I like it too. About time the automotive landscape sees something
other than silver, grey, white, and yes, black cars.

BIG time.

Are black wheels going to be the trend now? 'Cause I don't see any at
tirerack.com. (When I choose a 1993 Mustang LX 5.0, they show a picture of
an all-black GT as an example for wheel shopping. Now I wonder what black
wheels would look like on a black car...)

But... but... but.... it's extra useless weight! Where is Patrick, and what
have you done with him?

That's because you had to have the ricer version. My LX comes with a dish,
instead of a raised panel, and the convertible's bar is flush with the
center stoplight. Fits kinda nice with the vestigeal "luggage rack."

(Eh. Didn't like the brushed metal Bullitt filler cover, either.)

Hey, I started automotive life in a Royal Purple Ford Pinto. Not all that
keen on seeing that color return.
