🤣🤣🤣General Reminder!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not every old car is a classic.
Just because it has 4 doors and a few decades on it doesn’t make it collectible.
Let’s stop calling grandma’s sedan a classic, shall we? 😅

Known internally as the LID Mustang—short for Low Investment Drivetrain—this project aimed to fix the production model’s notorious weight distribution problem.

Instead of packing the heavy Boss 429 V8 up front, Ford’s engineers reversed the engine and mounted it over the rear wheels.

A Clever, Cost-Effective Makeover
Working with their Special Vehicles unit and a local Detroit skunkworks group called Kar Kraft, Ford took a standard Boss 429 engine paired with a C6 automatic transmission and installed it in a custom, removable rear subframe. A specially built transfer case rotated the power 180 degrees, feeding a modified 9-inch rear axle. This clever setup shifted the weight balance from a 60/40 front-to-rear split to a more promising 40/60, reducing wheelspin and potentially improving handling.

An Experiment That Didn’t Take Off
Despite the improved weight distribution, the mid-engine layout didn’t deliver a significant performance boost. With little more than reduced wheelspin to show for it, Ford decided not to pursue the idea further. At one point, reports in Motor Trend suggested the lone prototype was headed for the crusher at a Detroit-area salvage yard.

A Mysterious Disappearance
Recent whispers from credible Ford insiders, however, have added a twist to the tale. After its test program, the LID Mustang was parked at the Dearborn Proving Grounds with other test mules. Rather than being scrapped, the car seemingly vanished—leading some to believe it might be hidden away in a private garage somewhere in Dearborn or Allen Park, waiting for its moment to reemerge.

This story of wild innovation remains one of Ford’s most intriguing “what if” moments—a reminder that sometimes even the boldest experiments can slip quietly into legend.
