While I can tolerate the exterior design of the '24 (I much prefer my '15), that dash is a dealbreaker.

I sit in front of dual monitors for 8+ hours per day, I don't want that look in my performance car. It's as inspiring (and similar) to the HP copy machine that sits a few feet from my desk with it's tacked-on iPad display. The real dealbreaker? All the HVAC controls are touchscreen versus buttons and knobs. Hell no.

I'll take the car over your job.  I'd jump out of a window if I had to do that every day.

First of a series where a fellow Minnesotan embarks on making his S550 Mustang AWD.

Thanks for sharing that. I am loving his ability. Makes me want to build a car again.

The guy has a Merkur XR4Ti that he converted to AWD with pushrod 5.0 power (a couple vids of that on the tube also), so I have no doubt he'll succeed. It's an interesting project for sure.

*One of* the rarest:

In '65 Ford authorized a “High Country Special” model for Colorado buyers.  They made many coupes, BUT only *1* fastback.  It survived.

So, it's a tie.

Also, a Ford exec ordered a BOSS302 in 1969 and called in some favors.  Air conditioning was added and the car was painted silver.  Another 1 of 1.
