Clean, simple, beautiful. I would expect nothing less from Mr. Foose.

Re: Chip Foose Mustang

I swear I've seen him put that paint scheme on other cars. I dunno, some of his cars are more interesting than others. IMO, sometimes they start looking the same.

Re: Chip Foose Mustang

It looks like any other tuner mustang. I expected more out of him.

I'm getting weak in the knees looking at that motor.

Not blown away. Don't know why he insists on two tone paint all the time, but that isn't a bad one.

Not digging the wheels at all.

It's funny, I always thought I'd like the stang front end better w/ body color headlight surrounds and without the little clear lens that I guess is there for aero. But after seeing this one, I'm not so sure. Nice interior, nice rear end. 2 tone paint....ehhhh. Engine

Re: Chip Foose Mustang

Eh... sorry doesn't do much for me and I've seen other tuner stangs which I think are far better looking. It looks a bit lacking in "agression", the two tone paint with the yellow pinstripe does absolutlely nothing for me and those rims are overly blingy. Don't care for the blacked up engine bay either.

But I guess whether I persoanlly like it is not the point of this car .... plus I'm sure the workmanship is excellent; different strokes for different folks.

A two tone is a way to visually thin down a bulky design.

Yeah, I know. It just seems like he does it constantly. Wasn't it Foose who did the silver Cuda for the clown from Fear Factor? They were PISSED that he changed his mind and fell in love with the car in straight silver.

I wanted to smack them and tell them,"It's his car you A-holes!!"

Sometimes it does look good though.

Re: Chip Foose Mustang

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this being a high rankning officer of the 'anti-retro' camp, but....

When I look at that front end and the front of the Cobra that was on the cover of C&D a few months back, my impression was the car was 'happy' and not all all agressive or 'mean'. This was the way the front is styled, with it's big round headlights and trapazoidal lower grill, it looked more 'Thomas the Train' or 'a lab puppy bounding over the floor to greet you' rather than 'mean machine.

Just what I see there.
