A Fox Body Mustang with the face of a Volkswagen Golf - what sorcery is this? Well, face swaps are a trend these days and you'll find them in many corners of the Internet. Some of these work better than others and it seems like the one we have here is among those that can put a smile on a gearhead's face.
Come to think of it, there might be a reason for which this mix appears to be so stable and I'm not referring to the Photoshop skills of its maker (by the way, we can thank Luis Veguilla on the Nose Swap Nation Facebook Group for these pixels).
For instance, while the original incarnation of the Golf entered production in 1974, the third-gen 'Stang was introduced just four years later.
Besides, the birth of the Blue Oval's Fox platform came thanks to the automaker seeking inspiration in European subcompact designs. In fact, the sheer name of the Ford architecture was borrowed from the Australian/North American name of the Audi 80 (this shared its VW Group B platform with the Passat, though).
The past decade has seen the Fox Body Mustang growing in popularity, especially within the drag racing community. However, this pony has also gained traction outside the drag strip realm.
For instance, we recently discussed what should become one of the top builds in the history of the Fox Body. I'm referring to the Hoonifox, which will be Ken Block's next hooning machine - you can find the proposal in the image gallery above.
Due to the limitations introduced by the current global crisis, the machine only exists as a rendering for the moment. However, this was designed by Ash Thorp, a digital artist who also pixel-painted the next Batmobile.
Of course, the Hoonifox will be featured in a future sliding production featuring Block. Nevertheless, it's not clear if we're talking about the next G Gymkhana (that would be #11) or a different title, such as the third incarnation of the Climbkhana adventure.
