Nothing to do with Fiat I'm afraid.

I forgot about this one, thinking it was solved. I'll do some more digging.

Ford Mustang II prototype of 1975. It has a code S-21950-18. One of Ghia proposals.

So it is... my memory doesn't stretch back that far and I didn't look back.. sorry.
However - my source doesn't mention anything about it being a Mustang so will have to do some checking this evening.  Will revert later or tomorrow.   Perhaps it was identified by Autogids's previous post as I have it as a Ford Pinto 2 proposal.  Want to get it right though.

You will see my source calls it a Ford Pinto II proposal, which may or may not be right...
You seem to have some detail even though it's described as a Mustang II proposal, which again may or may not be right!

Anyway you've found the car and you've given me the Pinto name so I'm putting this one to bed and awarding you the point.

Well done.

I would say my pictures show an early epowood model, which was intended as a Pinto II proposal, whilst your picture probably shows an actual driveable car, by which time they'd had a re-think and decided it was a Mustang II proposal!

Any experts confirm that?!

Both are 1975 made models, however, there are subtle differences. Quite funny how you can recycle a design for a company to provide it for the same company. Good money in that.
