Due to French laws, having a heavily modified restomod built was not in the cards for Oliver Legrand. "The problem is that my country is very conservative about cars," he explains. "Virtually no mods are allowed!" (http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/1964_1973_mustang/1404_1967_ford_mustang_french_connection/)Americans are quite proud of the freedom we have in this country. Freedom is arguably, in many instances, a very subjective thing. Consider that every month when you open up an issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords, you're opening up an expression of creative freedom. While that notion may seem like a bit of a stretch, imagine living in a place where the simple addition of a rollbar to your car would be deemed illegal unless it came installed from the factory. Far fetched you might think? Thankfully, we haven't reached that point in the United States, however, this is the reality that Mustang diehard, Olivier Legrand, lives with in France.
