I had the same problem last week. They seem to be "re-organizing" their internal structure.
Try https://www.vintage-mustang.com/ that worked for me a few minutes ago - 8:13PDT 6/14/20.

With what link? I'm not sure if the "S" part of "https" makes a difference. I know that the site had been hacked by the Chinese a couple of months back.

I'd not call it hacked, they simply sign on as a new member, and once the staff approves that new account they spam post. Seem to be happening quite often on VMF, and other forums where new members are not vetted properly.

Then what would you call several hundred post ALL in Chinese (and I do mean ALL)?

Spam would be a good term.  Hacking usually implies some sort of take over.

No offense to my Dad who grew to love spam from France through Germany in WWII

Would call mining of email address's and collection of other member data in with hacking. Not sure if they have done that also. Could also include taking over the site for ransom
