Summary of Wankel powered Mustang story

To summarize the story from Mustang Ilustrated Feb 1991; Curtiss Wright Aircraft was actually the company that built this Mustang prototype in hopes of garnering interest from the "Big Three" in their new Wankel Rotary twin rotor engines. Curtiss Wright was lagging in the Aircraft business and wanted to diversify so in the early 60's they bought the US patent rights to the Wankel Rotary Internal Combustion Engine from the German automaker NSU, which up until that time was the only company using rotary engines in passenger cars, predating Mazda.

In 1965 bought a Poppy Red Mustang 2+2 (fastback VIN# 5R09C193052) with a 289 V-8 and Cruise-O-Matic from Dockery Ford in Morristown New Jersey. They brought it to their facility in Woodbridge New Jersey and performed the engine swap. The Wankel had 185 hp compared to the 289's 200 hp, but it had a weight advantage of 110 lbs. It was necessary to install a special transmision adapter to mate the drivetrain also. But according to the article the Wankel performed well, tests by an Engineer in the 60's show 0-30 and 0-80 times of 2.8 and 18.4 for the V-8 and 2.9 and 20.0 for the Wankel.

Curtiss Wright failed to convince the big three and the car, with similar prototypes from other makes was sold in the mid 80's to John Deere when they bought the company's assets. The prototypes were sold as a group to a company called Mazda Seventeen of NJ who sold them individually to private collectors. The first private owner was Derek Brown of Hanover PA who held onto the car for a short period before selling it to retired oil man Ray Harris of Shawnee Oklahoma. Ray an avid car collector new this stang was special and was nice enough to let Mustang Ilustrated drive the car for the article in their February 1991 issue.

OK, so now I know that Ford didn't actually build the car, that may explain why they couldn't give me any information on it. But a unique car like this should be in their museum.

So where is this car now? It's 14 years since this article, now that we know the car existed, can anyone find out where it is?
