LEGOLAND Resort Florida, located in Winter Haven, FL, has re-created the original Ford Mustang, in association with longtime sponsor Southern Ford Dealers, out of thousands of LEGO bricks!

Last year they debuted a 13-foot version of LEGO Monster Fighters set No. 9464, The Vampyre Hearse, and this year, the hot-rod hearse has been souped up with a few awesome enhancements.

The life-size LEGO replica of the so-called “1964½” Mustang V8 coupe was designed and built by a team of Master Builders at LEGO Systems, Inc.


The LEGO Mustang is made of 194,900 standard LEGO bricks and DUPLO bricks.  It measures more than 15 feet long, about 6 feet wide, and more than 4 feet tall.  It weighs 1,712 pounds, 960 of those pounds are LEGO bricks, and 752 pounds is its flat, aluminum framework.

Some surprises were added under the hood, including a virtual horn and the roar of a real Mustang engine which is a first for a life-size LEGO vehicle.  The Mustang also has working headlights and taillights.

The giant model recently debuted to thousands of classic car enthusiasts at Mustang Club of America’s 40th anniversary festivities in Indianapolis.  Admirers included Gale Halderman, a member of the Ford Motor Co. team that designed the original Mustang in the early 1960s, and NASCAR legend Richard Petty.  Both men autographed an interior space under the model’s trunk.  After a few more public stops on its way south, this “#BrickPony” made its way to its permanent display outside the Ford Driving School attraction.

Saturday, October 1st was the official unveiling of this hot-rod at LEGOLAND Florida.  Children representing the Make-A-Wish foundation helped unveil the display, and since LEGOLAND is #builtforkids the rest of the kids at the ceremony joined in as well.

To see this #BrickPony head over to LEGOLAND Florida Resort.  It sure is a sight to be seen!
