1969 Mustang Grande, not just the plain jane mini motor variety of the Mustang

Almost any engine could be ordered in the Grande, the 428 CJ didn't get into many. None got the 428SCJ.
 But at least one of the Grande coupes, from only 243 Cobra Jet 428s, was put into a Mustang coupe

Most Grande Mustangs were 115hp 200 cu in six cylinders, some were 155hp sixers with 250cu inches.

The Grande was 300 pounds heavier than a regular Mustang coupe, 55 pounds was insulation

Carroll Shelby remembrance at JBA, an awesome display and experience of dozens of Cobras and Mustangs roaring their engines all at the same time

Mustang Grande (1969 or 70 I think)

 I had just posted about the Mustang Grande a couple days before seeing this one (best condition I've ever seen one in) so I figured I better get a gallery of it so you can see the top luxury option line for the Mustang.

 Notice 4 electric window switches, clock in front of the shifter, ceter console armrest

 the interior is in cherry condition

I've never seen a Wally World sticker before, I thought it was just a National Lampoon movie destination

1969 Mustang Skull Art Car Falls On Hard Times - Prehistoric Hoarder With A Glue Gun Art Car

1969 Mustang Skull Art Car Falls On Hard Times

This 1969 Ford Mustang Skull Art Car called Morbido 69 by Howard Howrad Vines has been a regular feature at all the artcar fests here in the San Franscisco Bay Area and especially at the How Berkeley Can You Be. This art car was spotted by Murilee Martin who posted it on Jalopnic and took a ton of photos of this fine car parked in Alameda, California.

Unfortunately this beauty has fallen on hard times like a lot of older arts do and was seen again by Murilee at a local pick and pull some years later. The story is the same, first the most ardent Mustang fanatics will strip away all the good parts, then once its down to "bare bones" no pun intended, it will then be taken down to the crusher for its final journey.

I am not sure what to call this art car but it definitely crosses over into a few genres. I think its a combination between burning man, mad max, prehistoric, Wrath of Khan, nack to the future, caveman feel to it. Its almost like it belongs to a prehistoric caveman hoarder with a glue gun. I am sure the guy is very nice, probably and accountant or something who goes to burning man every year.  I would love to meet the owner of this mystery mustang art car, so if you or anyone know more about this art car please contact us at Art Car Central.
