Just wondering if anyone has ever seen anyone swap the tail lights on a 71-73 mustang for 67 shelby/ cougar tail lights? I love the looks of the Eleanor style tail lights and thought they might looks pretty sweet on the back of 72. I realize that there will be some fab work involved. Has this been done yet by anyone?

There is a guy on cardomain that put them on a 72 coupe it looked good.Its a black coupe if i can find it ill show you.

Here's '73 Hardtop with them. Looks cool, but I think I'd go with the '65 T-Bird lights instead.

Way back in 1985 a friend of mine did the T-bird lights in a 72 coupe and I loved it

Hmm that looks pretty sharp. I think I prefer the Shelby style ones without the grilles on them tho. I wonder if they modified the tail panel or replaced it with the cougar piece?

That is the car hes got nice power seats in it too.

Sorry, but I don't know where I got those pics. I just collect photos of unusual Mustangs.

Maybe andrewmp6 knows.

That really looks so much better then the factory tail lamps, I think the grills work on the darker car. There was a 71-73 Mach 1 in Mexico one of the mags did a story on the car was really really ugly, but the tail lamps looked good and he had the t-bird lights.

Was it this Shelby de Mexico '69 Coupe? Here's a link with the story of these cars:

No it was a 71-73 Mustang Sportsroof that a guy in Mexico had built in a "street racing style" it was Blue and Silver, had the owner burning out in the dirt and a really ugly body kit. Now I have a mission to find those pics.

Ok I found it seems like anything can be a feature car at Mustang & Fords... He calls it Eleanor Beast

A link to even more photos. The only nice part that looks like it has good workmanship is the dash.

That 73's interesting, but I don't like the ground effects.

It's definitely better looking than this one:

Shelby tail lights for 1971,1972 and 1973 Mustang

Check out my gallery Mustang Ricky my 1971 Coupe has 1968 Shelby tailights they are sequential as well. I used a fiberglass panel as it requires the least modifications. You do have to keep your original tail light panel and cut it to accommadate the Shelby tail lights. You also will need to shape the fiberglass to fit the original trunk line. And of course you need the lights and wiring harness as well If you take your time it looks fantastic!
