These cars were essentially pre-Mustangs with the same platform and engine options, but a year before the launch of the Mustang and without this design.

The April 10 appeared on the site of the classics Trailer Bring a copy of the modified car. The site identifies and shows interesting and classic cars for sale, mostly in the U.S., but also occasionally in Europe. A day after the site said the car had been sold. On 14 April the site identified the buyer as Jay Leno and published pictures of the car to be packed and transported. On the 16th, Leno published photos to embrace the car. On June 30 July Leno showed the car at the site dedicated to personal collection.
