Oh, yes, only a 68. Though body styles were the same, the running and tail lights made the difference in her. I used to love standing outside the garage and watch her back out. There was so much torque in her that the ass end would shake as she backed out. Now I know why guys like watching women walk

All so true about guys lookin' at a woman's ass, '68 was indeed the only year they did the round tail lighs and side markers. The front end with the hideaway headlights, the way the gas tank was situated and that killer body still make me weak at the knees.

    

Mine was a baby blue with the dark blue Mopar stripe on the front and rear, and black top. SWEET!!!!!!! Did yours have the underdash secondary start button on it? So that you had to turn the key to start, then push the button to ignite?

Yep!  Cha-Cha had an under-dash kill switch, I mounted the start button underneath the shag carpet on the left side of the console next to the stick, virtually invisible.

That's wheel skirts, gull wing doors and a bubble canopy

 

Those doors actually slid out away from the car a bit and then back towards the rear.

The concept was tangible due to it being their best wind-tunnel design for testing wind co-efficiencies, resistance and aerodynamic drag!

 

The actual number (.137) was better than an F-15 Jet.   Some aspects of this car are super ugly, however, it has a certain sleek look to it.  I think with some styling adjustments, the Probe V could have been much better than what Ford actually put out as the Probe model.

 

Also, the Probe was almost released as the next Mustang model.  That would have been a serious mistake on the part of Ford.  Good thing it never happened.

See, I thought it was built to replace the failed EXP.

You just taught me something dude!

Looks like a chop top custom GTO, maybe a '70 - '72.

Sorta like a hardtop version of the Monkee-mobile?

Modified 68 or 69 Charger would be my guess...fenders look like a Challanger though.

That is a 1969 Ford Super Cobra.  Basically started with a Fairlane body.  It does look alot like a Charger/Challenger and the front fascia screams Pontiac.  But it's all Ford.

Yep!  It did turn out to be a total disaster.

I mean even the Pinto had better success than the Probe design.

That's what I was looking at Steve.

And I wouldn't say a Super Cobra whilst this Frankenstein's Monster is more like a damn Anaconda either!

A friggin Fairlane body, who would'a thought!

Tis a beauty though Dawg...

Not certain.  Perhaps a Lotus Elise SC.  All I know for sure is I need to get something soon.

Just kidding, I don't smoke (anymore).  Oh, and this was never my car.

Sadly Angus, I've also seen cars like that.  Filthy buggers, once, while in the Marines, I saw a brand new Corvette.  Looked inside, pile of ashes/cig just like that.  Some people.
