1971 Ford Mustang - James Bond version
In the James Bond 007 movie "Diamonds are Forever", there was a chase scene where Sean Connery and Jill St. John were being
pursued by police in downtown Las Vegas. AMT released a special version of the 1971 Mustang that depicts this car.
During the chase the car is that it went up on two wheels to navigate a narrow alleyway and escape the police. Remarkably, when
it exited the alley, it was on the other two wheels! (photos courtesy of IMCD.org)
