I dunno if I have already posted this but I don't think so.
My car was featured in two German magazines a few years ago.
I simply took pictures of the framed pages on the wall due to copyright reasons. You don't wanna mess with German copyright lawyers!!
I can send scans on request by PM if anybody wants them.
The pictures are older, as you can see the car still had the 15 inch Torq Thrusts, The small hood scoop and the blacked out standard grille.
The first one is from 2010 in a German magazine (Pics taken in 2009) that only covers American cars and bikes. This meant a lot to me because it's one of the two top magazines on American cars in Germany (and the best of them IMHO).
By the way, the headline "Misunderstood" stands for the fact that those cars are wrongfully overlooked and that people who gripe about their size and weight don't know what they were initially built for, regarding power, big blocks and competition with other muscle cars. Pretty fair article for a change that did not bash the cars or talk them down.
(Don't ask me why the pic shows sideways. won't do what I want it to, sorry!)
The second one was pretty weird. It was originally shot for the other car magazine mentioned above in 2006 (note the yellow standard grille before I blacked it out!!) but the photographer (freelance) quit working with them and so he sold the pics to other publishers.
So these showed up in 2009 in a magazine that has nothing to do with cars whatsoever. Or let's put it this way: They feature a lots of airbags and plastic body mods.
A fellow Mustanger owned a newsstand and one day he calls me up and asks how I managed to get my car featured among all those other men toys and wouldn't buy that I did not have the slightest idea what he was talking about. Good thing he gave me the magazine later.
Here it is (Yeah, I know you'd rather see the rest of the magazine but this is all you get. Or maybe PM me. )
By the way, all the pics from that shoot can be found here on a German online car magazine:

Sorry, the top pic won't show straight although it shows correctly on my computer. Funny. Tried to fix it to no avail.
