    I still have that Car&Driver mag in my collection. Have loved that car since 1967 when I first saw the article. This recent build looks just as good and more logical in the roof to tailgate solution. I suspect that the whole thing lifts... but they never show that. Bob Cumberford suggests that the glass drops into the tailgate on their 1965 version, a lot like the wagons of the period. But interestingly there are no outside handles on either.

    A friend in southern Oregon had one built out of a fastback '65. It was a neat looking car inside because the seat actually folded down! But outside... the door line sweep for the fast back was retained and never lined up with the rear window. That made the wagon roof look tacked on unfortunately.

    That is a beautiful recreation. I am surprised more people haven't tried to copy the Mustang wagon.

    This one's been for sale for a while. I can understand the high price of admission on it, considering all the custom fabrication it has. If I was buying, I'd want some background on who put it together, 'in process' pics, etc.

    Visually, it looks pretty good. Appears they re-used the original hardtop back glass for the hatch. Like the updated powertrain, too.

    Love that wagon! A friend just stopped over with a late model fastback Mustang. As he pulled up and I stared out the window at his customized metalic blue Mustang I though it was around a 67-68 !:lolup:

    NO!:camera:
    It's just a generic late model with a tube type grille and halo-type headlights. He drank my free coffee and went home!:coffee:

    Back in the day, the MusWag didn't make much sense and wouldn't have sold very well. Plus it would have diluted the brand.
    After all, the Mustang was a young persons car, not a staid station wagon that mom and dad would buy.
    Would I like to have one today?
    YOU BETCHA!!!:p

    I liked that about the early Mustang being a young person car. Guess I really was a young person when I bought the first 65 fastback in our midwestern town!:D
