}}Super Mustang is the name given to a Ford streamliner slingshot dragster project.[1]

The project was begun by Ford's Styling Department in winter 1966,[2] before the debut of the Cobra Jet the next year;[3] the project was then turned over to Special Vehicles.[4]

Designed by the team responsible for the Mustang,[5] it used a Logghe Bros. chassis and a fuel injected SOHC 427 Ford, prepared by Ed Pink,[6] Connie Kalitta and Tom Marsh, mated to an automatic transmission.[7] The front axle mounted the usual bicycle wheels, while the rearend was a modified Jaguar IRS[8] (when most dragsters used a solid-mounted axle[9]) with limited-slip differential, plus coilover shocks and an anti-sway bar, along with the usual ladder bars.[10] The body was a sleek wedge, designed by Ford Design Center and refined in Ford's wind tunnel,[11] which enclosing the engine (except for the blower scoop), cockpit (which had a large canopy, but was "incredibly cramped"[12]), and rear tires.[13] It was designed by Ford and tested in a wind tunnel.[14] The {{convert|150|in|mm|abbr=on}}-wheelbase chassis was completed in December 1966 and bodied in California.[15]

Driven by Tom McEwen, the car debuted at the 1967 Winternats, where, in one pass, it lost its canopy.[16] Its best pass of the meet was an 8.60 at {{convert|180|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[17] [18] 

Super Mustang never exceeded mid-8s at {{convert|180|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, when contemporary conventional fuellers were turning in low-seven second passes at {{convert|220|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[19]

The car's problems were never successfully solved, and after six months, it was parked.[20] Though a poor race performer, the car was popular as a show vehicle.[21] 

The car was sold to Don and Joan Lyons of Dowagiac, Michigan, in 2003; they restored restored the car, and auctioned it off in 2009 for US$154,000.[22]
