"What about the gas tanks......Located in the fenders and crossover tubes,  my
fear has always been getting hit in rear with a fire...also the opening from
the trunk to the cockpit (with the top up) scares me....Anyone ever heaqrd of
a sunbeam exploding in flames when hit in rear?"
 
Don't drive a 1960's Mustang if fire worries you.  The floor of a Mustang
trunk is the top of the gas tank with only the rear seat back as a
firewall. Back in the day the worker inserted the gas tank through the trunk
opening.   It was done that way to make it easier to install the gas tank
while the car moved down the assembly line.   Face it, these old cars are more
dangerous to drive than todays cars.
