Chrome Mustang With Pink Wheels Spotted In China

chrome-stang-1If the rumors are true, in just a few short weeks the 2015 Ford Mustang will be revealed to the world, and in more than one way. Unlike previous Mustangs, the 6th-generation will be a true global vehicle, available in right or left-hand drive configurations. This will allow it to be sold around the world, including places like Australia, Europe, and China, where if you want a Mustang you have to import one at great cost.

chrome-stang-2For those who have the money but not the patience to wait for the next Mustang to make its world debut, there is always the automotive grey market. Car News China caught pictures of a chrome-wrapped Mustang wearing (of all things) bright pink wheels in Chongqing, China, and it isn’t exactly pretty.

Ford’s plans to make the Mustang a global vehicle will help boost sales of a vehicle that has seen its popularity grow, but actual sales steadily decline. To keep Mustang production pumping, Ford knows it has to make the pony car a global player, and China is high on the list of places Ford wants the next Mustang to thrive.

But it looks like China has already inherited the dreaded “tuner” mindset when it comes to Mustangs, as though a clean, unmolested Mustang wouldn’t draw enough attention. This is a very new Mustang too, obviously a V6 model by the looks of the pony badging and grille, probably 2010-2012 model, and it likely cost $100,000 to ship it across the Pacific, and import into the country. So why ruin it with pink wheels and a chrome-wrapped look? To each their own, we suppose. It’ll be interesting to see what the Chinese do with the Mustang once they can buy them brand new.
