this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I love the car!!!!!!! Would love to have one for sure. In the article it states 1970 but the picture and 4 headlight look is 69.
great job guys though – the cars are so close to looking like a classic – this just makes it even better.

That is horribly mis-shapen. The wheel base is not long enough for the bloated rear quarters making it look like a shriners car. Their other vehicles show the same lack of sensitivity to form and design as well. It really looks like they just took the parts off an 69-70 mustang and grafted them on to a new mustang without re porportioning anything.
Now that I think of it, it looks like a cheap plastic molded slotcar body.

@Chad: That’s because you’re absolutely correct, it’s not a 1970 replica. It’s bodykit is based on a 1969 Mach 1. The website where this bodykit was designed even says so.
Had anyone done any actual fact checking in this article, this would’ve been extremely obvious.

@Rick – actually, the body kit is based on the Boss 302. You can see for yourself on Retrobuilt’s web site here: http://www.retrobuilt.com/boss_302.htm
The company does have a conversion for the Mach 1, which can be found here:

@Administrator: lol Did you even check to see if there was a page?
There is no Boss302 page, because there is no Boss302 kit. Just LOOK at it, it’s based on a Mach1.

There previously was a page for the Boss 302, but the company deleted it, probably due to trademark reasons. The car has now been renamed simply the “Retro Mustang GT”.

Well i think this retro is an awesome retro and keep in mind that the mustangs that come out of the factory will most likely all be the same except for different options, but if i had the money i would get one of these retros. just imagine that its 1970 and you can get a mustang with all the best options of different years would that not be the best ….great job !

Looks good – but the 69 Boss 302 did not come with the rear fender fake scoops, the round rear pillar emblem or a shaker hood.
