- jonwise80, on 07/15/2009, -10/+28That thing looks stupid.
- MacBandit, on 07/15/2009, -3/+16Nice tribute to one of the most awesome planes ever made.
- Sil3ncer7, on 07/15/2009, -10/+20And people wonder why American car industry is in the *****... Hmm...
Plane = cool
Car = ***** - lazn, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8Cheapest Corvette: $50,000
Cheapest Mustang: $18,000
Comparing the two is obviously brilliant. - borez, on 07/15/2009, -1/+7Video removed by the user?
- gordigor, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5I thought the WWII tribute would have at least had a pin up girl on the hood.
- drmangrum, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5It's inspired by Ted Kennedy.
- MarlinFF, on 07/15/2009, -2/+6Looks ugly, but I've seen worse paint jobs from the ricers in mustangs around my area.
- jshhmr, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4I would give my left nut for a ride in a P-51.
- AndrewMoyer, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4FTA: "As an additional homage to the airline industry, Ford moved to file for bankruptcy."
(not actually FTA) - inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Unfortunate that they made it fast, but ugly as hell.
- Samo89, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2omg i want one.....
- bmcnally, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2That looks absolutely awesome. I'm a huge WW2 history buff, and am in the market for a Mustang. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to pay what they'll want for it.
And I agree w/ gordigor - A pinup girl on the hood would be amazing. - ChaosProfessor, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3sure whatever for locals (like me) it isn't airventure year round but i go to the museum a few times
- unclefire, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Pretty sweet.
- ChaosProfessor, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3I'm gonna be at EAA in Oshkosh, can't wait to see this baby
- blankjob, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3ignorant redneck is all i think of when i hear ***** over rebuilt dodge. wtf does dodge come in to play with ford? hell anything Chrysler that for that matter. only ignorance would allow even a half wit to re-utter that pathetic statement.
- ColinApocalypse, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2This is pretty cool because I live about 5 minutes from the Romeo Engine Plant. I pass it all the time.
Nice to have a little hometown pride every once in a while. =D - flyingsquirle, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3Vett's still suck...
- jake1337, on 07/15/2009, -7/+9Car is as ugly as your mother.
- frequentFlyer, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2It'll be interesting to see how much it auctions for.
- blankjob, on 07/15/2009, -3/+4wow you are almost winning at being a douche
- Bloodwine, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Dodge and Ford have a close history, as the Dodge brothers used to be shareholders of Ford. They also owned a company that built the engines for Ford. They used their earnings and dividends from Ford to set up a rival car company (Dodge).
While that doesn't exactly explain the origins of, "***** over Rebuilt Dodge", it does show that Dodge comes in to play with Ford. - VAXcat, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1 "and if she had a set of of wings, man I know she could fly"
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1for only redneck drivers
- jtt123, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1well said
- LoudMusic, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2It's a silver car with an orange nose?
- Meshyf, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the pinup on the side.
- DrRetro, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1So "aviation themed" means painting the nose yellow and using leather for the interior. Hmm. That's all they could come up with? Why not make it bare metal with rivets? That might actually be cool. At the very least add some nose art, maybe even a kill score under the windows. Hell, they could use the logos of rival companies, even. Jeez. Why didn't someone at Ford think of that...
- haikuFU, on 07/15/2009, -2/+3Ford Only Rapes Donkeys?
- MacBandit, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I didn't say it was the only awesome plane. Not to mention that in an actual dog fight the A-10 would never be able to get the Mustang in it's sights. It's far more maneuverable.
I love the A-10 though but it's a tank buster and an awesome one at that. - randall814, on 07/15/2009, -2/+3The Corvette ZR1 is like one of the top 10 fastest street-legal production cars to ever lap the Nurburgring. It costs less than half of a majority of the other 9.
Yeah, the american auto industry is circling the drain, but don't give your biased ***** opinion when facts heavily outweigh such ignorance. - wejmahtin, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1i hung out with your parents.

- iblaine, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1Would have rather seen them go with a Spyker as a tribute to aviation. This custom car is probably fun to drive but it's still a cheap entry level sports car.
- eviljolly, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1I love when people turn their opinions in to facts without any supporting arguments.
- unclefire, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2What!?!. You can't compare them on those terms.
An $18k mustang (if you can get one) has a V6 in it and no performance parts. A 50k Vette is the base vette and would kill the $18k mustang.
A valid comparison would be the FR500/cobra.
Both frankly are good for the money compared to other performance cars. The ZR1 comparable to cars twice the price. - randall814, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2We have a Ford F-350 Super Duty at my shop here on RAF Lakenheath, and it is currently in the shop getting a new A/C compressor, new brake master cylinder, new window motors in the front, and whatever part is smoking under the hood (we're not allowed to dive too deep into it, otherwise the vehicle maintenance flight gets super pissed and writes us up). Oh, it has 11,000 miles and the hardest thing it has ever done is pull a 100kW generator.
I guess I'd rather ride around base in a Mustang. - inactive, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2Where the is the airbrushed art of Sally Jupiter on the side?!
- thelighthouse, on 07/21/2009, -0/+0uh, the tips of the wheels on the car are the same as the propeller, YES THEY HAVE NOSE ART: the "dearborn doll" painted on the side of the car as well on the nav system, the air force star on the roof and the emblem on the rear... did you READ the article? Did you watch the video??? yeesh.
- thelighthouse, on 07/21/2009, -0/+0Last year's design, the AV-8 went for $500,000 at the EAA Auction. Expect this one to go for more.
- bkvideography, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0a yellow bumper, well done ford. it's still ******* ugly. i love how they all say it's "unique", i wonder why.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/15/2009, -2/+1Check again
- jtt123, on 07/15/2009, -2/+1cheapest corvette 50k? you crazy you can still get a nice one for 15 - 20
- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -3/+2Screw that, I want to take a ride on a World War 1 Fokker and mow down civilians with a machine gun
- blankjob, on 07/16/2009, -2/+1bloodwine um no but nice fail
ignorance - WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/15/2009, -2/+1You mean you're going to be at AirVenture?
- unclefire, on 07/15/2009, -1/+0lol-- nice try, but ultimately come back fail. Your comment suggests that hanging out with my parents helped you survive childhood in all your retarded glory.
Better luck next time... - Bloodwine, on 07/15/2009, -3/+2Found on Road Dead
- unclefire, on 07/15/2009, -2/+0how did you survive childhood with all that retardation?
