A custom stretch limousine built from a 1966 Ford Mustang has found a new owner in Australia, closing the chapter on one of the more unusual builds to cross that market in a while. The car was originally imported from the United States in the early 2000s before undergoing a transformation that included a chassis stretch, an engine swap, and a full right-hand-drive conversion.
Turning a Coupe Into an Eight-Seater
The build started with a genuine first-generation Mustang, keeping the original front and rear sections intact while a fabricated center section was grafted in to stretch the body. That kind of stretch isn’t a bolt-on job, it required real structural modifications to the chassis, and the rear doors were actually sourced from another classic Mustang and adapted to fit the new, longer layout. There are visible panel gaps and a few minor design inconsistencies that give away its aftermarket origins if you look closely, but the overall structure holds up well, with no sagging along the lower body and a roofline that stays even from front to back.
Inside, the extended rear cabin was reconfigured with two bench seats to hold up to eight occupants, more in line with a traditional stretch limo than anything Ford ever intended for a Mustang. The steering wheel was moved to the right side specifically for Australian roads, and the cabin was fitted with a modern audio system with a subwoofer, a power-operated privacy partition separating the driver from passengers, and two separate air conditioning systems to keep both the front and rear sections comfortable independently.
What’s Actually Powering It
The original engine was swapped out for a more modern 5.0-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, though the listing didn’t disclose specific performance figures, the car’s true mileage, or what it ultimately sold for. For a one-off build this heavily modified, those gaps in the paperwork aren’t unusual, but they do mean whoever bought it is taking plenty on faith about exactly what’s happening under the hood.
The custom Mustang limousine has now officially changed hands in Australia, though no further details about the buyer or what they plan to do with an eight-seat, right-hand-drive Mustang limo have been released.
