The idea of creating a custom shooting brake 1st generation Mustang isn't new, many claim that Ford was working on its own station wagon version of the Mustang in the 1960s. Unfortunately, the creator of this Mustang shooting brake was probably shooting something else up, because it is an unholy abomination.

Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for sale in West Orange, NJ for starting bid of $5,000 with zero bids, no reserve and 3 days to go.

The first generation Mustang (1964.5-1966) is as American as apple pie and baseball, almost to a fault. Taking a 1966 Mustang and doing this to it; is like burning an American flag while dancing on top of the grave of Betsy Ross, singing the North Korean national anthem and ripping up your passport — all at the same time. The weird part is...I sorta like it. C'mon, it is a shooting brake Mustang with Mercedes center caps...what's not to love? In the great race to create the world's ugliest custom Mustang, this thing comes in a distant second to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Under the hood is Ford's 200 cubic inline-6, good for 120 horsepower when new. The non-cross flow engine and intake manifold cast into the head makes additional power tricky to find, so swapping in a cheap 289 or 302 V8 is the way to go. Why anyone would spend this much time on custom body and leave the original inline-6 alone is a mystery.

Inside is more custom fabrication and what looks like a set from the 2008 movie The Hurt Locker . Connect the blue wire to the red for wipers? Seriously? A 66 Mustang only has about 3 wires for the entire electrical system, how on earth did they manage to create a rat's nest like this?

Wow, that rear view...it is...something else. See another Mustang shooting brake? email us here: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

That's awful. Good writeup though. Best line:

I was all about it until I saw the non-functional hatch. WTF?

It looks like he disconnected every wire in the interior, just for grins. Why would you do that?

I'm going to need the fabricator's name, home address, and a list of his worst fears.

Give these things to me and I will make sure that another abomination like this won't happen again.

It had to be some kind of bomb disarming practice or something...

I blame George Barris for this. Yeah, I know he didn't do it but it sure does reek of his influence.

The body looks more suited to a 70s fiberglass Beetle kit than a Mustang. As to why no 289 swap? Well, it's still on the six's front suspension and rear end, so it's almost better he didn't - a 289 swap without other mechanical changes tends to be very iffy, and the mod is all about the body work anyway.

That's what was so painfully familiar about this. Fabricators: if you have to do ludicrous fiberglass jobs that don't make any sense, more Ed Roth and less Barris, please.

the concept and overall body shape is not too bad. But i'd like to change the C-pillar so i don't have giant shelving units masquerading as fenders, redo the back glass so it's wider and more open, replace the 3/4 glass and panels so that they're bigger and nearly reach the fenders, replace the headlights with something that are actually headlights, replace the engine with an actual engine, and...

ah, fuck it.
