how original.
Actually, while a lot of the details are still fuzzy I have seen a shot (very recently) which did a very good job of showing the basic lines of the car with no camo. The car gives much more of a 67-68 vibe than 1970. Still, mimicking one particular year of Mustang wasn't really the point, what Ford was going for was natural evolution...and when the car is seen naked I think the vast majority of folks will agree they succeeded here. And the 67-68 vibe the new car gives off is hardly a surprise in any event since that is the basic template they have been working from since the 2005.

As for the 'power-bulge' hood, that exists because it has to. The hood needs the bulge to clear the strut tower brace the new Mustang GT will be using. This is a case of form following function.
