Obviously with a common platform, they can alter the wheelbase to suit a different application. Just like Ford used to do with the Falcon and Fairlane. The only tricky part is going to be the rear floorpan - the Mustang needs a low rear seat because of the fastback, but the Falcon needs a proper passenger car back seat.
So everything up to the B pillar could be shared, but from thereon in there will need to be differences. But Ford seem to make it work now - look at the Falcon sedan and ute - identical from the B pillar forward and nothing alike in the back end. I would imagine some clever design with a platform designed for modular sections in mind would be the go.
