SEE 306 Ford horses packed into the wild and wooly 289 engine…four barrel carburation, high rise aluminum manifold and a hand-built tuned exhaust system. SEE distinctive Mustang styling to which has been added such “everybody will notice” features as rear quarter panel windows, rear brake scoops and “there goes a G.T. 350” striping. SEE computer designed suspension with front anti-roll bar, competition shocks, front disc brakes and torque controlled rear axle. SEE the G.T. 350 scream from zero to sixty in 5.7 seconds. SEE the G.T. 350…the car that’s not for everybody. Just for you.

Misspelling Elkhart Lake!? Sacrilege! And the “Adults Only” tag might be my favorite part of this “in a world”-style, ham-fisted grindhouse-y trailer copy. Great illustration, too.
