Reimagining the Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang was, famously, a huge hit for the Blue Oval after its 1964 launch.
However, that didn’t stop others from trying to improve on perfection.
With Mustang Day on 17 April, the annual celebration of the model’s launch, we’ve decided to bring together some of the more celebrated Mustang makeovers, plus a few that languish in obscurity.
Some were the work of Italian styling houses, others were by enterprising customisers, while a few were conceived in-house. None were boring.
So join us as we look at a selection of the most extreme Ford Mustangs.

Comments
Loved reading about all these special Mustangs and especially enjoyed seeing our favorite Shortie featured so prominently.
I believe that the shorty mustang was once in my ownership. When the executive at Aetna sold it , I lived in Conn. My husband and i purchased a show car mustang that had been stolen and recovered by Aetna. Where is the car now? We took it to car shows and i have a picture of me sitting on the back of it. My husband was showing it off at work one day and blew out the engine, so we had to send it back to Detroit to get it rebuilt. Unfortunately, I told him he had to sell it. We advertised it for sale and a gentleman from Ohio came and bought it. I have always wondered what happened to it.
