When Ford introduced the Mustang back in 1964, the pony stood for many things, but extreme mud baths wasn't one of them. Nevertheless, if you dig deep enough, the internet will always reward you with the contraption you were looking for. Case in point with the Mustang mud truck we're discussing today.
This is a mud truck gifted with what appears to be a body belonging to a 1965 Mustang, albeit one riding about twice as high as we're used to.

The rugged terrain machine was recently seen at Dennis Anderson's Muddy Motorsports Park, stirring up the North Carolina soil.

Listening to that V8 mixing in the mud is the kind of soundtrack that makes us approve of such creations, even though they might seem as odd at first.

Sure, this is an all-custom vehicle, so we can't call it a Mustang anymore, but the spirit of the original still finds its way into the car. Think about it - one of the most important aspects of such a pony car is the freedom it offers you. Well, such a machine will certainly offer you all the freedom in the world.

From a Mad Max appearance to an offroad trip around the country, the list of destinations for such a vehicle would spread on pages and pages.

As for how you might call such a creature, the best name for it would probably be "Mudstang". Does the moniker still apply when the land is dry? Not really, but you can easily call it the "Dustang".
