And I believe the Charger was a '68, also.
So, a '71 Mustang and a '71 Charger would be an updated Bullitt, or am I counting on my fingers again?
I had a friend whose dad went to Vegas around '75 and won some dough, bought the same GT in the same color out there (faded quite a bit from the sun) and drove it back to WI, presented to his 16-year old son. It lasted about 3 months.
Did anyone catch the last episode of American Dreams, a TV show a few years back? The son had wanted a '68 GT and his dad wouldn't buy it for him. The son goes MIA in Vietnam and makes it back, etc. The dad takes him for a ride in the family car, and they end up at friend's house, and the dad tosses the son some keys.. They open a barn up there and inside is a '68 GT.... the screen went black, and it was not quite the "top of the hour." I remember looking at my watch and wondering what was next. It fades back in to present day, and a tall young soldier is riding a bus to Philadephia from Ft. Bragg. He arrives to a coming-home party, and the dad is not around; the son looks a little peeved. The dad walks in and it's a little awkard, until they go for a ride in, yep, a '68 GT, same color. They talk about the car a bit, and end up a a friend's house, and the dad tosses a set of keys to the son...inside the barn sits another dark green GT, the retro '05, I believe... the screen fades out with just the Ford oval on the screen. I damn near went out and bought one right then.
