1964 Mustang Shorty Concept III

The Ford Mustang has always been a two-door, 2+2 coupe. But in 1964, Ford attempted to reinvent its then-new pony car into a two-door, two-seat sports car dubbed the “Shorty Mustang III.” Designer Vince Gardner penned the new fiberglass bodywork, and underhood was a 302-cid version of Ford's V8.


Unfortunately, the vehicle never made it to production. Ford called for the vehicle's disassembly shortly after completion, but its designer stashed it away. The one-of-a-kind Mustang sold for more than $500,000 at auction in 2015.
