The Fox Body Ford Mustang has long been a popular entity among Blue Oval fans with robust aftermarket support, as well as a vehicle that quite literally helped many forget about a period of time when performance-focused vehicles were a bit, well, lacking in terms of performance. That popularity has only grown in recent years, and these days, the Fox Body is a coveted collectible for many, with rarer or more special examples selling for big bucks. However, comedian and car guy Dax Shepard recently had a thought – what if a Ford Mustang wagon existed back in the ’80s and/or ’90s?

Rather than just leave this as a mere pipe dream, Shepard enlisted Tyler Loguzzo to create the Fox Body Ford Mustang wagon of his dreams – as Ford Truck Enthusiasts recently discovered – and the results, well, they’re pretty special. This Ford Mustang wagon isn’t really a pony car, however, but rather, it started life as a Mercury Zephyr wagon, which shared a platform with the Mustang of this vintage, making it rather easy to swap some parts over.
In this case, those parts include the front fascia from a four-eyed Ford Mustang, which is accented by widened fender flares to make room for a set of gold Rotiform wheels wrapped with beefier tires. Loguzzo added a set of adjustable coilovers and an independent front suspension to help out in the handling department, along with a set of 14-inch six-piston Wilwood brakes up front. Inside the cabin, one will find a load of red Mustang parts, too.

Rather than sticking with an older powerplant from this era, Shepard also went with a newer third-generation 5.0-liter Coyote V8, which has been left stock, meaning that it’s pumping out 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, and it’s mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Add it all up, and this Fox Body “Ford Mustang” wagon is a truly unique and undeniably cool ride that makes us wonder – what if FoMoCo had opted to make something like this years ago?

Nicely done!
An old skool 351C would have been ideal.
