I saw this up in Reno, I know you are starting from the Ranchero side, but figured this might be interesting to you anyway

Nice attitude. Is it me or are all the lookers walking by in your pics Coddington wannabee's?

I love those shirts, I can't help Boyd copied me!!!!
That is really an awsome looking blue oval.

There was a company on the West Coast that marketed them...Can't remember the name of it...Think they originally did like 50 Mustangs, then sold a lot of conversion packages.... They were neat cars!!! There's a yellow one with 289 and 4 speed down in the Omaha area, see it around once in awhile....

I read an article on them a while back, theres an imformative website on them too, but I can't find it.

Here is a link to a lot of Mutant Mustangs, the Mustero included.

Thanks Craig, somehow I'd lost that link. I remember somebody had it on here a few years back. Beverly Hills Mustang...tough one to remember, huh????

Personally I like the 65-6 Mustang coupes, but this looks like a great way to give some of them a new lease on life.
I wish I knew where to ge the glass bed that they used in the Mustero.
Anyone know or have a guess?
I read the description that The Mustang Collection wrote about their conversion. It doesn't sound like it would be to difficult, just need to round up a good solid Mustang coupe to start with.
This may not be everyones cup of tea, but you have to admit,it is kind of cool.

That was a nice site, Craig. I got a kick out of the Mustang Station Wagons. I always thought that maybe a person could take the back portion of a Pinto SW and graft it to the Mustang to make a neat little wagon.

Speaking of good solid Mustang coupes, a friend has a 65 he is willing to part with, not sure of the price. It currently has a 302 in it, but original 289 is available is well. It is not ready to drive right now, but could be without a lot of work. Send me a PM or email if you want me to find out the price or send pictures.

Been there done that!!!! Even made it a sedan delivery!!!! I did the metal work and the chassis, then the owner took it home to finish it.....No idea if he ever got it done or not.... This was about 5 years ago, the guy was from Salinas, Ks..... Sure did look kewl!!!!

Dave i know you had to have a hand in one of those at the sight . I did enjoy seeing a small wagon and still do. Had the thought a few times but never could put myself to doing that kind of master craftmanship .

Dave i may have soon a interest to your finished rancharoostang though .
