The Ford Mustang that was released in 1964 took two years to fully develop into this style, look and design that everyone admires so much to this today!
Well this car has a history, a long history. Let's first look at the 1962 Ford Mustang prototype concept car...

Here is more reading info while I still piece this article together...

These Ford Mustang concepts, designs, pics and detail get better and better! Carry on and read further... "The Ford Mustangs That Never Were But Could Have Been Awesome"

Wow, more amazing history and pics of this concept pony...

Meanwhile read what Ford had to say about this stable of horses I'm about to present. (Since I still need to finish writing the article, read it a few times and then refresh, I should have more of the article finished then)...

Now does anyone remember the 1969 Hot Wheels Cartoon show? It appears Mattel really liked the look of this 1962 Ford Mustang Concept car and subtly added this Mustang concept car to their TV show. The car was named the "Jack Rabbit Special"! It was driven by Jack Wheeler who as a hot wheeling’ hot surfin diggity dune racing dog. Yeah, that describes him quite well.
This Hot Wheels® model presented on the TV show in 1969 was released in 1970? The look and appearance is so uncanny and extremely close to the Mustang concept car!
Mattel never mentioned this to this day...! Well have a look for yourself! Check out these Mustang concept cars by Mattel!
The fleet of Jack Rabbit Specials. Nice, real nice. I like the red one with the white interior. Why don't I find these listed. Me always find a white color.
More pictures of the real deal...

Then Mattel finally decided to released the 1962 Ford Concept car in 2010.
Oh yeah! This time they did call it what it is.
...and this is when those hard care Redline Era collectors said "Wait a minute here, isn't that the...."
Not only did Mattel release this in pallid white but an alternative yellow color was released that same 2010 year.
This was closely followed by a red color...and there will be more.
And then comes the Larry Wood Garage Series issue in black! Oh yeah! Me like this one plenty (It would look amazing with Redline Slicks as well!)
Then came the Mustang II Concept car in 1963...
Since I'm still researching the article and gather pics, please entertain yourself by reading the following material...

But I digress...
Let's get back to the 1967 Custom Mustang and why Hot Wheels had to include it in their line-up!
The 1967 Custom Ford Mustang was so popular in the 60's that it had to be included in the Hot Wheels line when Mattel started to make die-cast cars!
Always a favorite amongst Hot Wheels collectors and real car buffs also. The look, style and speed of these Mustang make it appealing to the masses.
Hot Wheels early releases of the Custom Mustang included open hood scoops and deep dish redline wheels! What a treat to find the car with these details.
The Redline Club recently re-issued this for 2013 in the 016 series. (original 16 cars released in 1968) with open hood scoops. This is something that will cost you over $100 to acquire on the bay for a poor condition one I might add.
The car took two months to sell out on the shop which I found surprising! Take a look at the pictures of this amazing release...
