Man, I couldn't even find any cars that had it. I was obviously googling the wrong things.
Old, new?
Oops, sorry, missed your saying kinda old.
Boxy/angular could be 70's.
I think the Mustang idea because of taillights makes most sense.
Yeah fairly certain it was a mustang. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to show my friend anything without finding it again, just because it seems it was indeed modified.
If the other comments correctly lead you to a Mustang, there's many trims over the years and owners are notorious for adding extra nameplates and decals. One thing to note is they basically never say "Ford" from the factory because it's supposed to be so iconic, you just know it's a Mustang. If it was a mustang, I can help arrow it down and possibly determine whether the badges were factory or add-ons. Some trims/special models over time include Mach 1, Boss 302, Boss 429, Bullitt, Shelby, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, SVT Cobra, Roush, Roush Stage # (1-3), Grande, and SVO.
Narrowing down to a generation would really help. Since you didn't know it was a mustang, I'd say the easiest way to break down the years is like this: 64-73, "Mustang ii", fox body, SN95 or New Edge, 05-14, 15+. Some of those look incredibly different within each bracket to a knowledgeable person, but let's use that as a starting point. It's hard to tell how old you thought it was
Elsewhere, I went through and I'm pretty sure it is a mustang now.
This one looks kinda close, thinking it was a modified one

I don't think I'll actually find a decent image of it without finding it again, as it seems it was modified.
