Mustang concepts tell a story of their own in the pony car’s illustrious legacy. Some, such as the 1970 Milano and 1963 Mustang II directly previewed future production models. Others, like the mid-engine Mach II and rally-focused RSX, reveal what could have been. One stallion stands alone as the most unusual. It was not commissioned by Ford, but by a magazine that was hardly three years old. A famed Italian coachbuilder, guided by one of the greatest designers of all time, styled the car. The final product hardly resembled the fastback that it started out as. After receiving critical acclaim from critics and enthusiasts alike, it vanished. No one has seen the car in nearly 60 years. This is the story of Bertone’s Mustang.
