We just found this farm-fresh 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 fastback, and could not pass it up, so we borrowed a trailer loaded it up and hauled it back to the ranch. Mike is working on a rendering right now and we will have a better idea of what it will look like done in a week or two. But the plus part is this car is already a manual transmission car, with no rust, two owners (last once since 1983) been in storage for the better part of 20 years and is the perfect foundation for an amazing project!

Stay tuned.

Calling this an SUV—a Mustang, no less —feels like heresy. The Mach-E
