1966 Mach 2 concept

This show-stand stunner was an attempt by the Special Vehicles Group, led by design boss Gene Bordinat, to re-mix the Mustang pieces into something to follow on the heels of the Shelby Cobra. The V8 is in the middle, Fiero-style. From the wedgy nose to the familiar Mustang tail, the Mach 2 concept is low and slinky in the best late 1960s style, but it never made it. Console yourself with this: It probably would have been an evil-handling little firebox, and the Seventies would have killed its cool. Nope, we still wish it had been built.
