Main detail I scratched my head with, the rear wiper. I can’t recall ever seeing a rear wiper on a Mustang hatch. Been searching the net for rear wiper replacements: zilch. Unless, someone knows something I’ve missed.

Optioned on early foxes. '79-82 or so, as I recall.

On the topic of one-off foxes, Roush was tapped to explore a truly high-performance road car to be sold by Ford through SVO.

As I understand it, they swapped in a truck motor with the GT40 intake that was sold through Ford at the time and made moderate power but it didn't justify the effort, so they fabricated a symmetrical, dual throttle body plenum to sit on the same intake lower and fed it with a pair of turbochargers.

Obviously nothing ever came of it, but I've long been fascinated by that intake.
 
Twelve of the very earliest 1964 Ford Mustangs were used at the 1964/5 New York World's Fair as rides. Production numbers used were 100003 through 100014. They were fitted with a guide trolley and used on a conveyor system to ferry people around the Ford Pavilion along with more than 100 other Ford, Mercury and Lincoln convertibles. After the fair, the cars had their trolley guides cut off, and then were sold as used cars. Of the twelve Mustangs used, only two are known to exist. One is 100006 and is a rusty shell. This one is 100004. It was used as a daily driver until about 1978 and then went into storage for 31 years. Fortunately, the owner knew what he had and thoroughly documented the car. Here it is in original, unrestored condition.
