Ford's US Heritage Fleet manager Matt Korczyk shared photos of a one-off pickup conversion from an S550 Mustang fastback.

The conversion kept the Mustang's nose and cabin intact while reshaping the rear with a pickup-style bed.
## Apprentice Training Program
Ford built the vehicle to train apprentices in metal fabrication and panel fitting using company tools and hours.
## First EVB Display
The Mustang Ute is now the first vehicle from the EVB to be displayed outside the building after years of private use.
## Key takeaway

Ford built a single S550 Mustang pickup from an experimental shop to teach apprentices hands-on skills.
