“You guys are the first ones to want to do a story on this car.”
Really?
While we’re certainly pleased that no other magazines have chosen to feature Mike Maier’s 1966 Mustang—and that we’re the first ones to show it to you—we also have to question the sanity of the rest of our industry. Maybe, in some bizarro opposite world …
I can tell you why it hasn't been featured in any other magazine. It looks plain when the hood and trunk are closed - good, tasteful, but plain, as in no stripes or fancy aero or the fashionable wheels or overfenders du jour. Plain looks on a car are kryptonite to most photographers and journalists. I can only think of 1 or 2 other car mags that would've given this car a close enough look to see what everyone else was missing. Still, congrats on getting there first 
Edit: I should mention that plain looks on a sufficiently fashionable model will still get attention. If it were a Porsche 911 or Datsun 240Z, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed.

That does seem to be the problem. Perhaps he could add a yuge splitter and an awful tribal tattoo looking wrap to class it up a bit.
...Because sublimity is a rare commodity in this day and age.
1982 Volvo DL blue isn't really an eye catcher...
Nice car, although if it were mine, it would be more blue.

My Supra is pretty much the same way, all the good stuff is underneath. Nobody expects the way this thing performs until they see it driven in anger! I kinda like it like that, but the itch to make it more slippery is a strong one...
Mike, I dig the suspension setup in the trunk. Have always had a thing for cantilever suspension, but have yet to have a canvas that would really lend itself to its implementation.
I'm not a big Mustang fan, but that one looks terrific.
