From the JournalStar.com comes auction coverage of one of three claimed factory prototypes for retractable hardtop Mustangs. The car sold this past weekend for $42,000 and had been in the collection of Harvey Bish for nearly 20 years.
The Mustang with a retractable hard top is a prototype that Bish purchased in 1996 from Ben Smith, a former Ford Motor Company engineer who designed the car.
Both Bish and Smith attended the auction. Hundreds sang to Smith to celebrate his 93rd birthday.
