    OK, I am going to go out on a limb here and be nasty... so, here goes: Why a sedan? Why a Mustang? With all that they could have done to encourage a build for fundraising what is it with this choice? I do not understand. In my (never to be humble) opinion the best photo is of the girl in the two color outfit...

    we are a weird bunch down under, ford and Holden is always a love hate relationship just as would be in the states LOL

    the only reason used the the Mustang front was it was the best they could find so they could tie the 2 different brands together and look like it was supposed to be there from the start

    the HQ Holden is iconic brand down under, the HQ has a special racing series around that model that has a huge following

  • Thanks Mike! I know you guys love four doors down under, and this is a very nice job of a custom four door. I think we may have said a cross between the Mustang and Pontiac (or maybe Oldsmobile). I would have it in my garage if the price tag was more than I make in 3 years on disability! You have got to love the roominess of that engine compartment. Geez, you can fit a couple extra bodies in there! Does the nice looking model come with it? :-) Not sure I could hide her in the garage though! lol

    Nice they are doing this for charity. Thanks for posting Mike.

    Bad news for the charity. But, hopefully, they will get some decent money from this. Its difficult enough these days for charities to get money in the door.
