Getting accurate production counts is always a problem with a low production car built 50 years ago by a company long out of business.
Mustang truck driver#
The driver side and passenger side windows were replaced with custom glass so they would close properly due to the re-shaping of the roof line. The Mustang’s rear end and taillights were a perfect match for the little truck. The roof line was again matched up with the rear window section giving the Mustang the look of a mini pick-up. The rear seat and roof section just forward the rear seat were removed to accommodate a heavy-duty fiberglass truck bed of which they produced in the body shop. Musteros were not particularly good or practical trucks as the beds were small and made out of fiberglass, and not especially economical considering that the Mustero cost $6,500 when for just over $2,000 you could buy a Falcon Ranchero with a 289 V8 and a 427 Shelby Cobra could be purchased for around $7,000. It’s estimated that only 4 are known to still exist in the United States.
Beverly Hills Ford reportedly turned 50 Mustangs in to Musteros with 40 being exported and 10 being sold in the United States. The name they decided upon was a blending of the words Mustang and Ranchero to create Mustero. Beverly Hills Ford (now defunct) secured permission from the Ford Motor Company to turn 1966 Ford Mustangs in to pickup trucks.
