- A classic 1966 Ford Mustang was stretched into a limo
- Power comes from a rebuilt 289 cubic-inch V8 engine.
- This four-door oddity is now hunting for a buyer on BaT.
Cars like the Chrysler 300C and Hummer H3 have served as the raw material for limousines conversions for years, but not every stretch job sticks to the same script. This one wandered well off it.
For reasons that resist easy explanation, the owner of this 1966 Ford Mustang decided the classic coupe would make a fine limousine, and the finished product is now hunting for a new owner. Watching a first-generation Mustang meet this particular fate stings, yet we’d wager a few wedding parties would line up to book it for an afternoon.

According to the Bring a Trailer listing, the conversion happened sometime before 2000. The chassis was stretched to make room, and a pair of thick new B-pillars went in to hold the middle of the car together. Rear doors were added too, though calling them purpose-built would be generous, since they’re spare front doors hung backward.

Alongside the bodywork changes, the stretched car also features a custom vinyl roof and was resprayed in the current shade of turquoise roughly eight years ago. It also sits on 17-inch wheels clad in Armstrong tires, has upgraded front brakes, and includes air shocks at the rear axle.

The exterior may have been reworked from end to end, but the front half of the cabin reads as mostly original, classic gauges and all. Move toward the back and you’ll find two rows of seats facing one another, trimmed in white and blue upholstery over matching blue carpets, with room for up to eight passengers, if you include the driver.

Power comes courtesy of a 289 cubic-inch V8, which, according to the seller, was rebuilt roughly eight years ago. There’s no word on how much this engine delivers or how much the limousine weighs, but we know power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission.

The listing runs over at Bring a Trailer, and you can head here to place a bid before the clock runs out.
