The History Of The Ford Mustang
• The origins of the original 1964 1/2, 101 horsepower Mustang was the humble
Ford Falcon. Officially, the car was released in April 1964 and called a 1965
model.
1965
1964
The 1967 and 1968 Ford Mustang, considered by
many people as best Mustang pre 2000 series, was also the last "small
Mustang", until the introduction of the
disappointing Mustang II.
1968
1967
1967
1969
1970
Ford aptly described this series as "A steed for every need" and this was an accurate description for this new "mini Thunderbird Mustang" model which was nearly six inches larger than the original.
The 1971 series Mustang was the
largest and heaviest Mustang ever
produced. They were 14" longer and nearly 800 pounds heavier
than the original Mustang.
1971
1973
1974
1977
Many collectors consider
the Mustang II the worst Mustang
ever made, but the
reality is that this
car became one of Ford's most
important models during a
very difficult time.
Some people might argue that the 1979 to 1993 Mustang was essentially the same car.
1979
1981
The 1982 to 1986 Mustang was very similar to the 1979 design but this series reintroduced the Mustang
convertible which was released in 1982 as either a late 1982 or early
1983 model.
1983
1984
1985
One of the things that made Mustang such a successful car for Ford Motor Co. was the fact that the car could be so many
things to so many people.
1989
1993
1995
Computer aided design
played a bigger role in the
engineering of this Mustang
than ever before. Today, in six hours one
engineer can do more
structural testing and
design then a team of 10 engineers taking two
weeks would have done back
in 1964.
Today’s Mustang
2003-2004
SVT Cobra
Today's SVT
convertible and
hard top Mustang
will probably
reach 100
kilometers in about
4.7 seconds and can conceivably reach
a top speed of 170 miles per hour.
The new 2005 Ford Mustang, set to arrive in the spring of
2004, is an all-new and extremely exciting Mustang.
