Wow that is cool, I never had the knowledge to forget! C8 finally got it!Don't forget the mid engine boss 429 prototype or the Boss-Shelby mustang that was never finished due to Carrol Shelby leaving Ford in the middle of the project.
Ya I think I remember reading that it was supposed to be destroyed but one of the engineers took it and it hasn't been seen since. Would easily be a $5 million car if it was sold. That is why the 69 fastbacks have quarter scoops and not the 70. Those were supposed to be the intakes for the engine. After they scrapped the project they got rid of the scoops for the 1970 models.
Looks too much like a Toyota celica and the nose of a Mazda rx7. And a later Nissan 300z .This would have been a lot sexier than the production Mustang II
Dang that looks sick! The 71-73 are the least popular body styles. If they looked like that then it would be super popular.1970 Mustang Milano concept car. Featured in a Motor Trend article from 2013. Some styling ques made it to the 71 model year. Though the body line along the side is damn near a copy of the 1970 Challenger.
IIRC, it was also slated to be the first production vehicle with a sub 10 second 0-100-0 time. That's beyond insane, even today. While it would've been awesome to have, street tires and era TC wouldn't have been able to do diddly squat to control it, and people likely would have died. Look at what was happening with the Vipers, and that was with less than half the power, 80% of the displacement, and 335 tires on the back.
Had several in the Day. They were/are great cars,especially on long trips. Dave
