This 1966 Ford Mustang Speedster Is Pure Sacrilege

We are not sure whether the 1966 Mustang started out as a notchback or a fastback, but as you can see, the whole roof has been completely removed. The A-pillar and windshield have been chopped as well, leaving only a small section of them. All the side windows have also been removed, exposing occupants to the elements. The rear section of the interior has been covered by a bespoke body panel with integrated cowls.

The creator of the Mustang Speedster has also gone to great lengths in order to give the one-off car Shelby aesthetics. It features what is known as Mustang Plus Ronster body kit, 17-inch wheels, Shelby front hood and side scoops, taillight panel, rear spoiler, front splitter, and a dual-exhaust. The Mustang Speedster is finished in Sonic Blue Pearl with white racing stripes and GT350 inscriptions.

The interior consists of a simplified version of the original 1966 dashboard with a centrally-positioned speedometer and black-leather bucket seats. There’s also an aftermarket, three-spoke steering wheel, four speakers, and JVC AM/FM CD stereo. The stock center console and shifter for the three-speed automatic have been kept in their original form.

Under the hood resides a replacement 302 cubic-inch Windsor V-8. No modifications have been listed, other than the obvious Cobra-branded air cleaner and valve covers. While the302 Windsor is known to respond well to modifications, a stock one produces a not very impressive 205 horsepower (in later versions).

With such output, the one-off speedster is more for show rather than performance, but it’s certainly unique. The car was recently auctioned off on Bring a Trailer, for $22,500, which is slightly lower than the $24,000 it sold when it was last listed. While, arguably, not the best investment, it’s a small price to pay if unique is what you are after.
