Well I wouldn't mind seeing a classic mustang with AWD. The Ferguson article looks very interesting. I'd like to find a translated version just to read it. Having said that I'm sure it would not be a small endeavor regardless if you knew how to do it or not.

I did a quick search on google, and i found this short newsflash:
1 of only 4 69 Mustang Ferguson Formula found and restored
2 years ago Kar Craft Mustang Parts of England found one of the ultrarare 4-wheel-drive 69 Mustang, that were modified by the former english tractor company Ferguson back in 1969/1970. Besides the 4 Mustangs, they built some Torinos and other big Fords with the 4-wheel drive parts from a Jensen. The Matarex anti-lock-braking system was another expensive modification on the Mustangs. As the price was extremely high (almost 6500 EUROs) for the finished car at that time, only 4 cars were built and probably sold. The car that was found in Sussex, was recently restored and an article appeared in the "Thoroughbred and Classic Cars" 1/2000 magazine.
See our clubs website for a picture dating from the original german article in auto motor sport of 1970 (only german)
Update:
This car was (Feb.8th. 2001) for sale from Frampton Classic Cars.
I will try to make an translation of the articles, if i can get the time to do it. Till that time: to be continued

Something like the "QuadraDuece II" is what I'm talking about. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Heres a link.
