Funky Fox Mustang Limo Has Hollywood Connection
After a brief scene in a movie about prank phone calls (seriously), this unusual Mustang limo has been quite literally put out to pasture.
Fox Mustangs are a hot ticket right now, and, like most collector cars, the rarer the better. However, we don’t expect to see this one setting records any time soon. There’s more to this one-of-a-kind creation than meets the eye. Like this limo.
We ran across these photos of this Fox Mustang hatch limo (limoback? hatchousine?) in a Facebook group. Apparently, this car has been around for years, and pops up for sale every now and again.
It’s an understatement to say that it appears worse for wear, but it does appear to be complete. We’re not sure what prompted someone to build a Fox-body Mustang GT into a limousine, and honestly, we’re not sure how we feel about it.
Hollywood Connection
Surely, something this unusual must have an incredible backstory. We may not know who built this wild creation, but we do know that it’s been around since at least 1994.
How? Simple — there’s an entry on IMCDB.org (that’s the Internet Movie Car Database, for the uninitiated) from 1995’s film The Jerky Boys: The Movie. The prolific prank caller’s film debut was shot the previous year, and featured a brief scene where a familiar-looking Mustang limo shows up. Obviously, the car appears on screen in much better shape than it is in currently.
We can all but confirm that it’s the same car we see here, rotting in a field. After all, how many white Fox Body Mustang limos do you know of with giant spoilers? It has to be the same car.
The interior features all of the standard limo accessories from the early ’90s, including a tiny CRT television, tons of leather, and a minibar. We’d imagine some pretty impressive mood lighting, too.
Now, the obvious question — is it worth saving? Maybe, maybe not. Much of the Mustang limo’s white paint has flaked off over the years, resulting in unsightly rust. In addition, being buried up to the axles in mud isn’t exactly great for a car’s undercarriage. It would take a real limo geek, or a Mustang fans who’s into some seriously weird stuff, to bring it back from the brink.
