I don't know if anyone else has a 1965-73 Mustang manual that is this old, but on page 19, the introduction to tune-up and troubleshooting there is a picture of a Mustang. It is like a mustang I have never seen before. It is a fastback with what-appears-to-be a chopped roof, teverything is a few inches lower. There is also an emblem and/or gas cap on the left quarter of the roof. The mirror is also in a strange location, seems to be mounted higher and more rearward. Taken with phone:

I have a picture very similar to that in a Mustang book I have. I'll have to look when I get home.

It looks like when Foose draws a car before he builds it on Overhaulin'....

I thought that looked familiar. It's very similar to this:

The Chilton picture looks like the same car with a more "normal" front clip.
Found this too just for the heck of it.

Looks kinda like a Challenger.

Wish I had a scanner..

I dont know anything about those cars but they are pretty sweet. I like that one in the Chiltons manual and that 72 Milano is pretty sweet also. Anyone know if those cars were actually built. Never heard of them but I am no Mustang historian/scholar/aficianado.

Well I belive they were the 63 Mustangs , that is called the Proto Type . Get a Mustang book at Hastings , that gives the complete history of the Mustang

Here is a nifty link with some Mustang prototypes from different eras.

The front end looks as if it was stolen offa thunderbird. Also, did you notice the squared head lights,
I am waiting for the grille to open up and show the missles ready to fire. Go 007
