In my earlier thread I mentioned an one-off Mustang created by Guigiaro while he worked at Bertone. Again no one actually suggested this car yet. So here we go:
In 1964, at the height of Mustang launch fever, a man named L. Scott Bailey had a light bulb moment: get Nuccio Bertone to dress up a "naked" Mustang chassis with an irrepressible Italian chic.
The result was shown off at 1965 New York Auto Show, and was a big hit, winning "Best of the Show" award.
I would like to show you guys and gals of GTplanet newer pics but the thing is, the car got bought by a well-to-do collector promptly after the show, and was never been seen again. As in, no one can even confirm that the car is still intact.
All I know is, as of Jan, 2010, "current owner" is utterly uninterested in letting the world have a peek at this marvel. What a pity.
