Have you ever seen an interesting-looking hot rod and, based on its appearance, believed that you think you know what it is, but, deep down, you’re actually pretty clueless about the vehicle? Yes, this happens, even for the most hardcore “car guys” out there.
Not having savant-like acumen for every car or truck that was ever made can be an ego-bruiser for some enthusiasts, but trust us, it’s perfectly normal, and OK. The good thing in the unawareness is, whenever it happens, the door to learning something new opens very wide.
We can’t slight the most knowledgeable Fox Body Mustang gurus in the scene for not being aware of this Pony, a 1980 Ford M1 McLaren Mustang Prototype, which arguably is the most unique 1979-1993 ‘Stang being auctioned at Dana Mecum’s 36th Original Spring Classic in Indianapolis.
As Fox Body Mustangs go, this ride is on the highest rung of the “Most Exotic” ladder. It’s the fourth of only 10 cars ever made, and for a survivor of that magnitude, it is in nearly mint-condition (556 original miles).
Yes, Mecum Auctions’s marquee sale is right around the corner, with this rare ride and roughly 3,000 other cool cars, trucks, and more on deck for big-bucks sales. It’s bound to be one heck of a show, and HOT ROD senior editor KJ Jones will be there to take in all of the high-rolling action.
