ever heard of the 1979 Ford Mustang Daytona Concept? Me neither. It's also nuts to realize it's a 46 year old car.


one of just five such models built for Ford by Cars and Concepts, and believed to be the only example of that lot that received all of the planned updates, and is also thought to be the only one in running and driving condition. 

On the outside, those mods include a T-top conversion, a one-piece smoked grille panel with an etched pony log, 1979 Lincoln Versailles headlights, a smoked plastic rear panel, and Dayton wire wheels.



5.0L V8 engine, mated to the four-speed manual transmission, while the suspension and dual exhaust have been modified as well.

It served as the pace car for 1979 Daytona road course events, and it was on display at the Henry Ford Museum for 20 years


Imagine if it was 1980, and we were talking about a 46 year old concept car, that would be a 1934 car!
