    1972 Mustang Prototype Has Some Challenger Lines
    « on: May 21, 2007 - 09:47:03 AM »
    Someone sent me these pix & the first thing I thought of, was that the lines on the side of the car look Mopar to me. The side body line looks like the original Challenger. I thought I'd post it so you can all see it. I love the back end of the car, but the front doesn't look so great, too long looking.

    I didn't search too much, but it's called a 1972 Mustang Milano.

    If you had tried to tell me that it was a concept car for a '75 Challenger, i would've believed it... :eek7:

    Does look cool looking!  :grinyes:

    I've always liked the concept cars from the 60's/70's.

    The body line definitely looks like a Challenger. The tail panel and grill could use some tweaks though.  :lol:

     :clueless: Something like that. But for 72 the body line says Challenger rip off to me.  :hyper:

    It's a Ford, but for some reason, I like it.

    The rear looks pretty good.  The front needs some work, but not too bad. 

    If they didnt make Challengers (Thank good ness they did) then I would like it more.   :-\

    Right!!

    The body line along with the quarter window shape scream Challenger.
    Overall though it does look like a Ford. The rear styling is way cool but the top of the quarter looks too skinny.

    Thanks for sharing that, I have never seen this one before :2thumbs:

    It sure does look like the Challenger body line on the side.  Thanks for sharing that.  Notice the color too?

    It does look remarkably similar to the F-body successor to the E-body that I've seen in some Challenger/Barracuda books.

    Aside from the quarter panel's body line, the rear end swoop reminds me of a Detomaso Pantera.
