American muscle cars and pickup trucks have always had certain shared genes, and even more so now that, for example, a Ford F-150 Raptor R has a Shelby GT500 engine or a RAM 1500 TRX has a Hellcat engine. But creating something like the one we have here is one thing and another. The Ford Mustang GT has been completely converted into retro pickup form, because what we have below is nothing more than a 2007 Mustang in the form of a highly modified 1955 Ford F100.
The Mustang that became a truck
In fact, it's no joke, because instead of designing a new body from scratch What was done was to dismantle a 2007 Mustang GT to later graft it onto the body of this Po carny Car is the chassis of an old Ford F100, although it doesn't stop there. In fact, what was fitted from the old truck was actually the roof, doors and bed area, with everything else being greatly improved to show off this new look of the Mustang, including the grille and headlights from a real Mustang, while the splitter or hood Or extended fenders, side air inlets or a dedicated cover for the rear bed that also includes a new rear spoiler.
This new body is made entirely of metal painted in the classic blue with white stripes which looks really great with the black alloy wheels. Although itOr what's even more amazing is that the Mustang also has the interior including the steering wheel, gauges and seats, in addition to its engine, where under the hood we find the famous 4.6-liter V8 engine from the fifth generation Mustang GT, with 304 horsepower, much better than The humble engine of those pickup trucks from the 1950s.
