1966 Mustang Turbo Coupe
Admit it, if you’re a car person remotely interested in Fords, you’ve wondered about this swap at some point. The seller has combined a nicely modified 1980s 2.3 turbo with a 1966 Mustang and seems to have done all the right suspension, brake and other mods to keep up. This engine came from a Cougar…

Almost Famous: Rexona Ad Drag Mustang
We first saw this and imagined it was someone’s idea of a cool custom. Thankfully, this was custom-built for a Rexona deodorant ad. The seller claims this can be converted back to a street car. We’re not sure; but maybe it can if all VIN plates, etc. are present. The hard part might be passing…

1972 Ford Sprint Three-Fer: Mustang, Maverick and Pinto!
Mustang fans are generally aware of the 1972 Sprint edition; but not everyone realizes the Maverick and Pinto offered similar Olympic tributes at the time. Yes, someone collected the whole set and, yes, they’re for sale! These all would have had similar paint with flag decals; but the Mustang has been repainted plain white. Obviously,…

1978 Mustang II Sleeper
The poor, pinto-based Mustang II is the butt of many jokes inside and outside the Mustang community, given its radical departure from the late 60s/early 70s muscle Mustang formula, but it was right for its time, which is to say the Mustang was a victim of the Malaise Era. Interest in a few of the…

Over The Top Custom ’72 Mustang
This is a custom 1972 Mustang done by Eddie Paul, who has a long resume of custom work for the film industry, including The Fast and the Furious and numerous other major films. This is a full 70s-style custom and looks like it was made to compete with Mark Hamil’s “Corvette Summer” monster. The question…

Don’t Forget Me. I’m a Mustang, Too.
For the 1974 Model Year, Ford went from borderline land yacht sized Mustangs to a true compact for the fuel crisis era. Thus was born the oft-maligned Mustang II. I, your humble host, had a 1970 Mustang as my first car and I own one again. Growing up a Mustang guy (later branching off into…

Salvageable ASC McLaren Mustang?
The ASC McLaren Mustang was an interesting car, as it’s a bit hard to define its purpose. Originally, ASC converted Fox body Mercury Capris into convertibles – something that made some sense, given a convertible was never offered by the factory. Later, however, they took to modifying Mustang convertibles with a different top, more raked…

Psuedo Boss: 2007 Parnelli Jones Saleen Mustang
When the Mustang GT was still powered by a 4.6-liter V8 with 300 horsepower, the Saleen 302 was a badass with 400 horsepower on tap. When the car was introduced for the 2007 model year, the first 500 cars were limited edition Parnelli Jones models and went as far as they legally could toward duplicating…

BLACK GOLD MUSTANG GRANDE!
Okay, this poor car has suffered through some tasteless ‘upgrading’. I’m tempted to say it should be put out of its misery, but I feel someone should save it. Of course, the ad provides so little detail that it’s not even clear whether the specs make it worth saving. There’s so much wrong here that…

The Oddimotive Fleet has a new addition!
