One-off Mustang Concept Could Be Yours

Even today in the world of high-tech production vehicles, the glitzy concepts are still a major draw at auto shows.

Now, the Long Island-based Exotic Classics is making a one-off Mustang that was once featured in more than 50 auto shows available for purchase.

The Mustang GT convertible concept, which debuted at the 2003 North American Auto Show in January,  features a Redline Red Metallic exterior paint and a distinct “showbar” with a rim of billet-aluminum trim where the instrument panel and console trim leave off, as noted on Exotic Classics website.

The Mustang concept, which was picked up by Exotic Classic Cars after being auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson, was developed form a modified Ford Thunderbird rear-wheel-drive architecture (now, there’s a throwback).

The car’s instrument cluster features a familiar, round optical look. However, rather than using needle pointers, the gauges are designed with a small, gear-driven, trolley scored with indicator lines that ride around the inside of the bezel matching rpm and groundspeed.

Exotic Classic Cars doesn’t list a price for the Mustang concept on its site.  But we’re guessing the cost of owning a car that showcased at some of the world’s biggest car events won’t come cheap.
