Could This Be A Rare 4×4 FF Ford Mustang?

Could a super rare Formula Ferguson (FF) Ford Mustang have found its way to a classified ad in the Netherlands? The owners of 27 years say, yes; however, we remain skeptical. Let’s investigate…

In the early 1960’s the Ferguson P99 Formula One racecar would win the Oulton Park race running a four-wheel drive system. In 1964, Ford was wanting to expand on the new and popular Mustang, from potentially building four-door models to four-wheel drive models. As a result of the latter, Harry Ferguson would take a crack at applying his FF system to a Mustang. It is well documented that the company would imply their FF system on a Mustang at Ferguson Research Ltd. in England. In fact, two 1964 hardtop Mustangs were sent over, one to be modified and one to serve as a control. Due to fear of the production cost being too high the idea was nixed and the prototype, and only documented FF Ford Mustang, would find its way to the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in 2009.

This alleged FF is a 1970 convertible, about as opposite as you can get from the known FF in Tampa. Due to the fact that Ford scrapped the FF Mustang idea years before this car was even built would indicate that it is not an authentic FF. However, without looking through all of Ferguson Research Ltd.’s projects there is no way to be one-hundred that maybe they didn’t do one more later on for a customer or friend. And if one were to resurface it would almost certainly be in Europe, as this one is.
