The Super Mustang was a Ford streamliner slingshot dragster project begun by Ford's Styling Department in the winter of 1966 and then turned over to Special Vehicles. The team that designed the Mustang gave it a Logghe Brothers chassis with a 150 inch wheelbase, a fuel injected SOHC 427 Ford engine prepared by Ed Pink, Connie Kalitta and Tom Marsh, an automatic transmission and a modified Jaguar independent rear end, under a sleek enclosed wedge body refined in Ford's wind tunnel. Tom McEwen drove it at the 1967 Winternats, where it lost its canopy, and it never ran better than the mid eights at 180 mph while conventional fuel dragsters were turning low sevens at 220 mph. It was parked after six months, though it stayed popular as a show vehicle, and a Michigan couple restored it and sold it at auction in 2009 for 154,000 US dollars.
