This thread is going to become my most fapped over net page since I found Tawnee Stone's porn website when i was 16.

I shall be adding vast amounts of throabing yank man porn shortly after 9pm tonight.

Calm down Alan_B, its not what you think. Besides, Mustangs are for those that dont know what a real muscle car is.

Stick that in your ''fastback'' and smoke it Ford fan boys.

And no epic yank thread would be complete without this beast.

Nuff said.

Heres the info:

1967 Obsidian SG-One Mustang Specifications

Classic styling meticulously blended with sophisticated technology. A Twin supercharged and intercooled EFI engine with more horsepower than any factory Shelby Mustang, a new Corvette ZR-1 or a new Dodge Viper. They’ll know you’re coming with the beautiful but subtle supercharger whine, a camshaft idle you’ll love and a muscular exhaust sound that’s not too loud on the inside yet intimidating on the outside. A fully integrated tube chassis with roll bar easily handles the power while a NASCAR style belly pan provides high speed aerodynamics. The body has been extended 7” over stock to comfortably sit virtually anyone up to 7 feet tall. It features a multi-layered black paint (similar to the Obsidian lava rock). This is the deepest black paint you’ll ever see and it’s absolutely flawless. Formula One style paddle shifters enable lightning fast and consistent gear changes (the world’s first in a Mustang!). Enormous Brembo four wheel disc brakes with hydro boost provide fade-free stopping power in a hurry. A fully adjustable coil over suspension system is tuned for carving out corners while providing excellent ride characteristics. A performance rack and pinion steering system gives the utmost in road feel and goes precisely where you point it. Custom 18” front and 20” rear aluminum wheels and BF Goodrich KDW tires provide a nose down appearance with superior dry and wet weather traction and razor sharp handling and braking. Inside, you’ll find power everything with bone chilling air conditioning. To ensure the highest level of your entertainment experience there is a 3,000 watt Kicker stereo system with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, DVD navigation, MP3, iPod, XM Radio, 60GB hard drive, and Bluetooth. There’s even WiFi Internet access wherever your journey takes you. The :censoredit is wrapped in the finest leather. Seating is fully adjustable with lumbar support, electronic control and heating. To keep the outside world from coming in and to provide the ultimate in year round comfort, the interior is fully lined with the latest in sound proofing and heat insulation. The latest instrumentation with Chameleon lighting provide vital statistics and allow you to adjust to just the right look. A touch screen LCD is integrated into the car’s fuel injection system, stereo electronics and diagnostics. With access to a chassis dyno, you can precisely tune the engine from the :censoredit. A fully integrated yet easy to operate security system ensures it stays in your possession. Lastly, full documentation ensures the ease of service and helps protect your investment.

Powerful, graceful and elegant, she's one of a kind. The Obsidian SG-ONE is the most awesome Mustang ever conceived. And, it’s been THE show stopper whenever its appeared (the front entrance of the 2006 SEMA show, 2007 All Ford Nationals and the featured car of the 2007 SEMA show duPont Registry booth). Max Power magazine said this car was the world’s best modified car. There’s only one available and it will never be reproduced (the owner and builder certified they will never build another one so it’s the rarest of rare). That should come as no surprise though. After all, it’s just like you are: in a class all by itself. We suggest acquiring the Obsidian SG-One now before it’s gone!

I've often threatened to buy something old and muscular but sense always prevailed.

These I like (later shape 1973 AMC Javelin) ...

 

[Überdub]

Another fave: Oldsmobile 4-4-2 ...

... this one's a '69. '68's are nice too.

I'm possiblely the only the person in the world that doesn't like this car, its a Mustang with a bodykit on it....a bad bodykit at that!

I prefer unmolested Mustangs!

Any of you guys watch American Hotrod or anything with Chip Foose? love these programme!

It's the sort of thing that would come out of pimp my ride. An unmolested example would be far far better.

Although the modern day film was just a pimped up version of the original too.

Nice original 1966 Buick Riviera, before the styling went crazy with the boat tails.
