Infamous for switching sides when doing a wheelie to go down an alleyway. I read that the stunt was performed twice & the best of the two were combined, but no-one noticed the 2nd stunt was done on the opposite side.

Belongs to Tiffany Case (Jill St. John). Later on Bond takes the wheel and he is chased by the police through the streets of Las Vegas.

The chase culminates in this impressive stunt where the Mustang passes through a narrow alley tilting on two wheels.

When the car comes out the other end of the alley it is tilting on the opposite side to which it went in. This is because originally they filmed a stunt where it was balanced on the right side but a crowd of people were watching and this spoiled the stunt. So they ended up putting a shot where the car was balanced on the left side.

Ford had product placement in a lot of Bond films.
Remember the T-Bird, Falcon and Lincoln in "Goldfinger" or the Mercury Couger in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"?

Nothing new.

BTW: The Cars of the Stars/Bond Museum in the UK has one of the film Mustangs.

I'm sorry but I think this car is horrifically ugly.

It´s not as nice as a 1965-69 Mustang, but not as ugly as an 1979+ Mustang :D

I agree that it is not as beautiful as the very early one, but still looking quite good. I think the last nice one was build in 1973. The ones in the eighties were really very ugly, and the once of the ninties and later should be scrapped today.
