Looks like it had pretty favorable storage conditions for 41 years.

The plastic fuel filter!

Does anyone know any more of the story of the race series the original order-er was going to do? That sounds like a very interesting tale.

Thats a story I'd love to learn about!

I remember my neighbor worked on one of these about 20 years ago. He knew all about them. They were apparently ordered same color and as pace cars by American Racing .
( I don’t think it is the same wheel company). I remember asking at the time. They went bankrupt and Ford turned them into twitters to sell at dealers in the midwest along tornado Alley. Not sure 100% on the story but my neighbor is very knowledgable on Mustangs.
