In 1965, the Mustang was already one of the hottest coupes globally, raising attention from enthusiasts all over the world. However, in England, the Ferguson company, a well-established manufacturer of farm machinery and all-wheel-drive systems decided to convert a regular V8-powered Mustang into a capable all-wheel-drive coupe. Almost immediately, Ford shipped several cars to England to receive a Ferguson all-wheel-drive system.
Ferguson mated them to Ford's standard V8 engine and transmission. The results were promising since those prototype AWD Mustangs had good handling and superb traction in any condition. The downside was the added weight and cost. Ford sent a few examples to the U.S. to test them even further, but eventually, they shelved the project.
