[Lee Stewart]

The front of the Mustang seemed to be higher than normal. I walked up to the front of the car and raised its hood, only to find an engine bay minus the power plant. Even though the Mustang was void of an engine, I could tell this engine compartment was unlike any other I’d ever seen on a Mustang. The car had an unusually thin radiator with heavy-duty steel brackets that were unlike those on a factory Mustang. The compartment also had a large metal container resembling an oil or water cooler mounted in front of the shock tower on the driver’s side, and like the front and rear bumpers, the passenger side shock tower had a Curtiss-Wright decal. This decal read, “Rotating Combustion Engine — A New Shape in Power.”
