Why it matters
In Tokyo Drift the hero Mustang is an American muscle car rebuilt with the engine of the Nissan Skyline GT-R, the film's symbol of American and Japanese car culture meeting. It is the final-race car of the protagonist.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionworking Mustangs left after one was totalled; sold by Universal after the film | 52 | Surviving examples | Independently researched |
| Total model productionMustangs used in the film (hero and stunt cars); one was totalled during filming and only Hero 1 had a running Nissan RB26 engine | 61 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
About six Mustangs were used in the film, although the car is shown as a 1967 fastback and the builder said most of them were 1968 bodies. Only the "Hero 1" car had a running Nissan engine. It never drifted on set, as ordinary stunt cars did the action, and the engine sound in the final race was dubbed from a single-turbo RB25 GT-R.
One Mustang was totalled during filming and the remaining five were sold by Universal after the film. The Hero 1 car went to the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois and was later marked as sold; other cars went abroad, including one reportedly to Norway.
