Found this on Youtube



Watch at 0:40. Is it me or is the fuel filler tube painted red like the body?

Most likely a studio or pre-production/test fastback build.  Noted ribbed reinforcements in the fold-down that I've never seen before.  Couple other early cues, like straight handle shifter and square corner sill plates.  Also looks like a cloth trunk mat and plate light wiring routed to other side.

Later, the shot of the 289 hi-po emblem is the tall-style, which doesn't appear to have made it into Mustang production.

The last couple of seconds showed a T-Bird type tail light with a sequential turn activated. Strange.

Just another example why these cars are poor sources for Concours details when restoring

The may have been painted two or three times during its usage as a protype, displays and presale purposes - Not that unusual

Very cool.  Thanks for posting.
