Wacky Art Mustang Ends Up In Junkyard

The Ford Mustang is an integral part of American history, a car that has become an icon all over the world, the vanguard of progress and prosperity. Millions of these classic Mustangs were built, and their recognizable shape and relative abundance made them popular with a wide variety of people…including artists with glue guns and a point to make.

Over at The Truth About Cars Murilee Martin, a wacky car writer in his own right, came across this wild and some might even say “artistic” Mustang in a San Jose junkyard.

This ‘69 Mustang was first spotted when Martin wrote Jalopnik’s “Down On The Street” Column about interesting cars he found parked on the road. This Mustang is absolutely covered in glue that holds a variety of objects like skulls, ammunition, toys and it is pretty hard to figure out the exact message here.  Is it anti-war? An art project gone awry? Is the artist saying that toys kill kids?

We don’t know, but this unique Mustang probably won’t last at the junkyard for too long, apparently past its useful life as a prominent piece of art. Many of the useful bits are all but ruined with all that glue and crap covering much of the car. It might be salvageable, but I can’t imagine anyone wanting to take on a daunting project like this, unless this car just happened to be something special. And even then…would it really be worth it?
