Default Re: And now for something completely different

[b] Saw this at a car show on the island over the weekend. Car was built by Beverly Hills Mustang
of Ca, who was licensed by Ford to build 50 Mustang Rancheros, also known as "Musteros"
They converted a Mustang coupe into a two-seater by shortening the roof, moving it forward
and removing the trunk.
It is believed only 10 were sold in the US. At this time you could by a Shelby cheaper
than the conversion, so not many were sold here.
The unknown balance of the cars actually built were sold and shipped to Australia and Europe.
At this time there are only 4 known Beverly Hills Mustang Rancheros remaining in the US.
This car, which belongs to Frank Herbert Jr. of Baldwin, NY, was in storage for about 30 years.
The pony interior was restored, the hi-po 289 was rebuilt and the car was repainted in its
original color of Springtime Yellow.
