Do you happen to have photos of the Mustang that you could post? The one my parents had (see post #1) was dark green with a fake hood scoop and thin decal stripes going along the entire length on both sides. It was our family car which we used for camping and ski trips - seems pretty crazy thinking back to that lol. I remember once when my dad took me skiing and there was an unplowed parking lot with maybe 8" of heavy wet snow at a store we wanted to stop at. My dad assured me that the car could drive through that, "piece of cake". And it was, too, ...until we got to the middle of the parking lot and the wheels started spinning. We got stucker and stucker until even my always-stubborn father admitted defeat and started working on Plan B, which involved survival strategies in case we had to spend the night there :P Finally a guy came along to plow the parking lot and he gave us a tow. After which he suggested to my father that in the future it might be a good idea to avoid deep snow in this particular vehicle
