Gary also wanted to attach the Mustang to a name synonymous with the upper echelons of road racing. To do so, he brought the idea to his friend Roger Bailey at McLaren. The English company had established a U.S. base of operations in Livonia, Michigan back in 1969, putting them in close proximity to Ford’s headquarters, and Roger was on board with Kohs’ idea. This partnership would set in motion the development of the Ford McLaren Mustang M-81, one of the rarest factory-authorized Mustangs of all time.

Under the hood was a naturally aspirated 1.6 Cosworth twin-cam BDA motor with Weber carburetion that sent north of 300 horsepower to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Only two were built. (Photo Credit: Ford Motor Company)
