VanderbiltCupRaces.com Exclusive:63 Photos Discovered of the Mustang III Being Built at DST in 1964.
Last week, I obtained 63 original negatives of the 1963 Mustang III Concept Show Car being built in the summer of 1964 at Dearborn Steel Tubing, Ford's prototype maker.
The photos were accompanied by an original draft of an article on the Mustang III by Alex Walordy which was published in Custom Craft magazine in April 1965.
These photos and the draft will be posted in future issues of VanderbiltCupRaces.com. Here are some highlights.
Enjoy,

Howard, What a unique treasure trove of documentation for an already unique automobile - to be able to have construction photos of a specific auto which still exists - congrats!!!

Gary, yes, very exciting!
Howard,
It’s amazing that those Mustang photos are still around . Usually, things like that have a way of disappearing. Thanks for sharing them with us. BEAUTIFUL!

That’s Vince Gardner working the molds. Here he is working on a rear spoiler for a Mustang project with Alex Tremulis. Together they also built the body for the Gyronaut X-1 motorcycle streamliner, the World’s Fastest Motorcycle from 1966 to 1970. Looking forward to more shots of the Mustang III being built!
