1962 Mustang Prototype

1963 Mustang Prototype

In 1961, Lee Iacocca, vice president and general manager of Ford Division, had a vision. His vision was a car that would seat four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, be no more than 180 inches long, weigh less than 2500 pounds, and sell for less than $2500.00. Out of this vision, the Ford Mustang was born. After many months of meetings, discussions and market surveys, funding was finally approved for the Mustang in September of 1962. On March 9, 1964 the first Mustang rolled off of the assembly line. Only 18 months had elapsed since the Mustang had been approved for production. In order to keep production costs down, many of the Mustang's components were borrowed from the Falcon, including most of the drivetrain. With a multitude of different interior, exterior, and drivetrain options, the Mustang would be able to be ordered as plain, or as fancy, as economical, or as fast, as the buyer wanted. In general, the Mustang was designed for everyone and was advertised as "the car to be designed by you".

The Ford Mustang was heavily advertised during the latter part of it's development. On April 16, 1964, the day before it's release, Ford ran simultaneous commercials at 9:30pm on all three major television networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS. The following day, April 17, 1964, people "attacked" the Ford showrooms. Everyone was in a frenzy to be one of the first to own the Mustang. Ford sold over 22,000 Mustangs the first day. By the end of the year, Ford had sold 263,434. By the end of the Mustang's first anniversary, April 17, 1965, Ford had sold 418,812 Mustangs. The Mustang had made a name for itself, and it was here to stay!!!

The First Production Mustang - To Roll Off The Assembly Line

The 1964½, as it was later called, was available in only two models: the coupe and convertible. Both models featured a lengthened hood and shortened rear deck, chrome wrap-around bumpers, chrome grille with a running horse, and full wheel covers. Both models were available with a 170 cid, 101 horsepower, 6 cylinder engine, a 260-2V, 164 horsepower V-8, a 289-4V, 210 horsepower V-8 and, starting in June, a fire breathing, 4 barrel, solid lifter, 271 horsepower, 289 cid V-8 engine. The buyer had a choice of a 3 speed, 4 speed or automatic transmission, and a variety of rear end gear ratios. The interior featured "wall-to-wall" carpeting, front bucket seats or an optional front bench seat, rear bench seat, a sports car style steering wheel, floor mounted shifter, and full headliner. There were a total of 121,538 Ford Mustangs produced during the 1964½ model run.

1965 Mustang Convertible

1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback

1965 brought few changes for the Mustang. The biggest change was the availability of a new fastback model, which was to become the basis for Carroll Shelby's GT350. The 120 horsepower, 200 cid 6 cylinder engine replaced the 170 cid 6 cylinder, the 289-2V, 200 horsepower V-8 replaced the 260-2V, the 289-4V was upgraded to 225 horsepower, and the 289-4V hi-po remained unchanged. Other changes for the 1965 Mustang included: an alternator instead of a generator, relocation of the oil filler, integral power steering pump and resevoir (most 1964½'s had a remote mounted resevoir), a wire retaining ring was added to the gas cap, the horns were smaller and relocated, and the interior carpet was continued up the sides of the rocker panel and under the sill plate. A new interior option was added, the interior decor group (known as the pony interior), which featured special seat covers with running horses across the seat back, special interior door panes with integral arm rests and pistol grip door handles, five gauge instrument panel, woodgrain steering wheel, and woodgrain appliques on the instrument cluster, glovebox, and optionally on the center console. Another Mustang option introduced in April of 1965 was the GT equipment group. Available only with one of the two four barrel engines, the GT group included five-dial instrumentation, disc brakes, larger sway bars, quicker steering ratio, dual exhaust which exited through the rear valance panel, grill mounted foglights, and special lower body side stripes. A total of 559,451 Mustangs were produced for the 1965 model year.

1966 Mustang GT Coupe

1966 Mustang GT Convertible

1966 Mustang GT Fastback

1966 brought even fewer changes for the Mustang than did its predecessor. Most of the changes for 1966 were in the form of cosmetic refinements. A new grille which featured chrome edged, horizontal inserts, replaced the honeycomb grille of '65. The chrome bars that extended horizontally and vertically from the running horse were deleted on the 1966 Mustang's grille. A new three fingered rear quarter panel ornament was used. The lower rocker panel moulding became standard equipment, as did backup lights, and a chrome hood lip moulding. The fuel filler cap no longer included the plastic Mustang emblem insert found on the earlier models. On the inside, the Mustang was treated to standard five gauge instrumentation, and "woven" vinyl seat inserts. The choices of available interior colors and styles increased to thirty four varieties, giving the buyer even more ways to personalize "their" Mustang. Production increased to 607,568 units for 1966.

1967 Mustang Convertible

1967 Ford Mustang Coupe

1967 brought the first major restyling to the Ford Mustang. The Mustang was starting to grow up. The length and heigth were increased, 2.7" and .5" respectively. The wider body allowed for the installation of a tire smoking, 320 horsepower, 390 cid engine, the first big block engine in the Mustang. Among new options for the 1967 Mustang were the tilt-away steering wheel, an overhead console, power disc brakes, and an all new transmission, the FMX, which allowed fully automatic or manual shifting. The Mustang fastback's roof line was extended to the rear of the trunk. Interior trim options were decreased from 34 in 1966 to just 20 in 1967. Production for 1967 slipped to just over 472,000 units.

1968 Mustang GT Fastback

1968 Mustang - California Special

1968 High Country Special

The 1968 Mustang was little changed from it 1967 counterpart. Most of the changes were in subtle refinements to the interior and exterior. New options for the 1968 Mustang included an AM/FM stereo radio, rear window defogger (coupe and fastback only), re-designed front power disc brakes, and the all new 302 cid engine. The 302-4V, 230 horsepower engine replaced the 289 Challenger Special of previous years. By December of 1967, the 289 engine was replaced entirely by the 302 version. Other changes included the deletion of the horizontal grille bars, the deletion of the F-O-R-D letters at the front of the hood, simplification of the quarter panel ornament, and many safety features were added. Due to increasing governmental regulations, the 1968 Mustang now included front and rear side marker lights, folding, flush mounted interior door pulls, and an energy absorbing steering column. There were several "region specific" models offered from various dealers. Two of the most noteable were the Mustang California Special, and the Mustang High Country Special. Total production for 1968 was 317,404 units.

1969 Mustang SportsRoof

1969 brought another major restyling to the Mustang. The Fastback 2+2 was gone - replaced by the new SportsRoof model. The new Mustangs were almost 4 inches longer than their 67/68 predecessors, yet they retained the 108" wheelbase of the original 1964½. The base Mustang engine continued to be the 200 cubic inch six cylinder. New for the economy minded Mustang owner was an optional 250 cubic inch six. The base V-8 continued to be the 302-2V. The 351-2V and 4V entered the lineup for 1969. The 302-4V and the 390-2V were dropped, but the 390-4V remained. There were two special engines offered for 69, the Boss 302 and the Boss 429. Both engines were only available in two limited production units, so called, the Mustang Boss 302 and the Mustang Boss 429. New features for 1969 included quad headlights, front parking lights were now located behind the front valance panel, new quarter panel ornaments, side scoops and integral rear spoiler on the SportsRoof models, front seat back locks, and for the first time, the VIN number, in addition to being located on the driver's door, was also attached to the instrument panel, and visible through the windshield.

There were several new Mustang models offered during 1969. A little know model was the Mustang 'E'. It was basically a standard economy minded Mustang SportsRoof model with a six cylinder engine, a higher (lower numerically) ratio rear end with a large torque converter, and an automatic transmission. Air conditioning was not available on the 'E' model. A "Mustang E" insignia replaced the standard quarter panel ornament. Another new model was the Mustang Grande, which included the Interior Decor Group, an electric clock, special houndstooth check upholstery, and extra sound deadner.

Another new model was the Mustang Mach 1 which was only available with one of the five larger V-8 engines. It featured special interior trim, special carpet, and high back bucket seats. On the exterior, the Mach 1 featured a low-gloss black hood, non-functional hood scoop (except models equipped with the 428 Cobra Jet engine which had a "new for 69" shaker scoop), hood pins, dual racing mirrors,special side stripe, pop-open gas cap, and dual exhaust ending in chrome, quad outlets. The Mustang Mach 1 also included the "Handling Suspension" and an additional 55 pounds of sound deadner and insulation materials.

Another new model for '69 was the Mustang Boss 302. Built mainly to qualify the Mustang for the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) Trans-Am series. The Boss 302 included a special 290 horsepower, 302 engine, 4 speed transmission, 16:1 ratio steering box, and a 3.50:1, staggered shock rear end. The exterior featured a low-gloss, black hood and deck lid, Boss 302 "C" stripes, front spoiler, flared fenders and Magnum 500 wheels with F60x15 tires. All of the optional Mustang interiors were available on the Boss 302, however, most of them were equipped with the black, standard Mustang interior.

The biggest and baddest of the Boss's, the Mustang Boss 429, was also introduced in 1969. Primarily built to satisfy NASCAR requirements, the Boss 429 Mustang featured a Semi-Hemi 429 powerplant. To compensate for the massive engine, the front shock towers were moved out one inch, and the front A-Arms were lowered one inch. The Boss 429 featured a huge hood scoop (the largest ever offered on the Mustang), front spoiler, flared fenders, dual racing mirrors, and F60x15 tires, mounted on chrome, Magnum 500 wheels. The interior featured the Mustang interior decor group, comfortweave bucket seats, and console. The Boss 429 also featured a competition suspension, rear stabalizer bar, power front disc brakes, power steering, engine oil cooler, trunk mounted battery, and a 3.91:1, traction lock rear end.

There were a total of 299,824 Mustang's built in 1969.

1970 Mustang Coupe

1970 Mustang Grande

1970 saw no major changes to the Mustang lineup. Most of the changes were in the way of subtle refinements. The headlights became dual units again instead of the quad units used in 1969, front side marker lamps were moved up onto the fenders, the quarter panel "scoops" were deleted, and the rear taillights were now recessed into their housings. On the inside, high back buckets became standard equipment with the seat back release moved to the lower part of the seat, a new "oval" steering wheel (supposedly to ease entry and exit), and the ignition switch was moved to the steering column which locked the steering wheel when turned to the off position. The engine lineup changed slightly for the 1970 Mustangs. The 390 was dropped and the 351-2V Cleveland and 351-4V Cleveland replaced the 351 Windsor models of previous years. The Mach 1, Boss 302, and Boss 429 were all available in 1970. Total Production for 1970 was 190,727 units.

1971 Mustang Coupe

1971 Mustang Grande

1971 Mustang Mach 1

1971 saw another major restyling change for the Ford Mustang. It was also to be the last restyling for the first generation Mustang. Introduced late in August of 1970, the new Mustang was more than two inches longer and almost two and a half inches wider than it's 1970 predecessor. For the first time since the Mustang's inception, the wheelbase was extended one inch to 109". The 200 cid 6 cylinder was dropped along with the 428, the Boss 302, and the Boss 429. New engines for '71 were the Boss 351, the 429, and the Ram Air 429. The Mustang Boss 351 produced 330 horsepower, while both 429 engines produced 370 horsepower.

On the exterior, the famous Mustang corral returned. A new wide chrome strip on the edge of the front fenders and hood was borrowed from the 1969 Shelby's. The long hood now turned up at the windshield to cover the hidden wipers. Large, bold, triple lens tail lights appeared on the rear of the new Mustang. Flush mounted door handles replaced the earlier surface mounted units.

The interior featured standard high-back buckets, a mini console, and an all new instrumentation layout. Power windows were offered for the first time. The Mustang Mach 1 continued to be offered for '71. It was available with any of the V8 engines. A special honeycomb grille and color keyed front bumper were unique to the Mach 1 model. The chrome hood and fender mouldings were replaced with color keyed trim. "Mach 1" decals were placed on the fenders and deck lid and a special black or argent lower body side paint was used.

New for 1971 was the Mustang Boss 351 which replaced the Boss 302 and Boss 429. The Boss 351 featured a special 330 horsepower 351-4V Cleveland engine. The Boss 351 featured a blacked out NASA scooped hood with twist type locks and special body side stripes. The Boss 351 included a competition suspension with staggered rear shocks, a four speed transmission with a Hurst shifter, power front disc brakes, dual exhaust, and 3.91:1 traction lock rear end.

There were a total of 149,678 Mustangs built in 1971.

1972 Mustang Coupe

1972 Mustang Convertible

1972 Mustang Mach 1

Since the Mustang had undergone a major restyling in 1971, the 1972 Mustang models saw no big styling changes, only minor cosmetic ones. Probably due to increasing governmental fuel economy regulations, all of the Boss cars were dropped from the 1972 lineup. The Boss 351 and both versions of the 429 engine were dropped. During the early part of '72, a special 351HO model was offered. It featured a low compression version of the Boss 351 engine, with a special high-lift cam, mechanical lifters, forged aluminum pistons and a special 4-barrel manifold. The only "performance" model that remained for the entire '72 model year was the Mustang Mach 1. The Mach 1, like all other '72 models, were virtually unchanged.

Production for 1972 topped out at 125,093.

1973 Mustang Coupe

1973 Mustang Convertible

1973 brought the last year of the "big" Mustang. It was to be replaced by a smaller, lighter breed, therefore, most of the changes for '73 were merely cosmetic. A large, square, chrome headlamp bezel appeared, as did chrome trim around the tail lights. A color keyed Urethane front bumper replaced the chrome units of the previous years. The front parking lights were now placed vertically in the front grille. A new, grained, black applique with bright trim was placed on the rear body panel between the tail lights. This was replaced with a honeycomb style on the Mustang Mach 1 and Mustang Grande models. The 1973 Mustang convertible was to become the last Mustang convertible for many years. There were a total of 134,867 Mustangs produced in 1973.

No ko smo že glih pri mustangih. v četrtek sem na ljubljanski obvoznici srečal zelo starega 911 turbo, nekaj časa za njim še enega, potem pa mustanga fastback, letnik 65 ali 66, bele barve s številko na vratih, kao neka racing izvedba. Registracije nisem videl ker je vozil na nasprotnem pasu. Po njemu sem videl še kr nekaj starejših športnih avtomobilov, tako da je bilo očitno neko srečanje ali dirka nekje.
A mogoče kdo pozna lastnika ali avto, če je slučajno iz slovenije?

no tkole:

TRETJA GENERACIJA:

1979 Mustang:

Sleek and redesigned, the 1979 was the first Mustang to be built on the new Fox platform, thus kicking off the third generation of the vehicle. The ’79 Mustang was longer and taller than the Mustang II, although in weight, it was almost 200 pounds lighter. Engine offerings included a 2.3L four-cylinder engine, a 2.3L engine with turbo, a 2.8L V-6, a 3.3L inline-6, and a 5.0L V-8. In all, the ’79 Mustang was more European visually, with less traditional Mustang styling cues throughout.

1980 Mustang:

In 1980, Ford dropped the 302-cubic liter V-8 engine from the Mustang lineup. In its place they offered a 255-cubic inch V-8 engine which produced close to 119 hp. The idea was to create an engine that was economical and sporty, although many die-hard Mustang enthusiasts found the engine to be underpowered. In addition to the new 4.2L V-8, Ford replaced the 2.8L V-6 with a 3.3L inline-6.

1981 Mustang:

New emissions standards resulted in additional engine changes in the 1981 Mustang. The 2.3L engine with turbo was removed from the lineup. In addition, the 255-cubic inch V-8 engine, which had previously produced close to 119 hp, was redesigned to produce approximately 115 hp. The V-8 engine was at an all-time low in regard to power output.

1982 Mustang:

For many enthusiasts, 1982 was the year Ford brought power back to the Mustang. In addition to the return of the Mustang GT, Ford once again offered the 5.0L V-8 engine, which was capable of producing 157 hp this time around. In all, the Mustang featured an improved intake and exhaust system, making it one of the fastest domestic cars in America. In ’82 the Mustang also saw the return of the T-top option.

1983 Mustang:

The Mustang had not been available in convertible form since the early 1970s. That changed in 1983 when the convertible option returned to the Mustang lineup. The year also saw an increase in power from the Mustang GT’s 5.0L V-8 engine, which was capable of producing 175 hp. The Mustang was so well admired in ’83 that the California Highway Patrol purchased 400 Mustangs to be used in high-speed pursuits.

1984 Mustang:

In 1984, nearly 20 years after its debut, Ford’s Special Vehicle Operations released the Mustang SVO. An estimated 4,508 were produced. This special-edition Mustang was powered by a turbocharged 2.3L inline-four cylinder engine. It was capable of outputting up to 175 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. There’s no doubt about it, the SVO was a car to contend with. Unfortunately, its high price of $15,585 made it out of reach to many consumers.

A special 20th anniversary edition of the Ford Mustang was also released in 1984. This GT model Mustang featured a V-8 engine with an Oxford White exterior and Canyon Red interior.

1985 Mustang:

In an effort to improve upon its engine lineup, Ford introduced a 5.0L high output (HO) motor in 1985. In all, it was capable of producing up to 210 hp when coupled with a manual transmission. In addition, the Mustang SVO was once again an offering. In 1985 an estimated 1,515 SVOs were produced. Later that year, Mustang modified the SVO slightly and released 439 additional SVOs. These 1985 ½ Mustangs were capable of producing 205 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, making them highly sought after by many Mustang enthusiasts.

1986 Mustang:

The Mustang said goodbye to the carburetor in 1986 when Ford introduced the first sequential multi-port fuel injection V-8 engine. This 302-cubic inch V-8 was rated at 225 hp. The Mustang SVO remained in the vehicle lineup for one more year. In 1986 an estimated 3,382 SVOs were produced. Only a few changes were made to the vehicle such as a reduction in horsepower from 205 hp to 200 hp and the addition of a federally mandated third-brake light added to the rear spoiler.

1987 Mustang:

In 1987, Ford created a completely restyled Mustang that was aerodynamic in design. Although still built on the Fox platform, the 1987 Mustang featured a heavily restyled exterior and interior. It was the first major redesign of the vehicle in almost eight years. The 5.0L V-8 engine was now capable of producing up to 225 hp. While the V-8 engine increased in power, the V-6 engine was no longer an offering. Consumers had the choice of either a V-8 engine or the new 2.3L four-cylinder fuel-injected motor. Although the SVO was no longer offered, Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) created a special edition SVT Cobra which featured a 302-cubic inch V-8 engine capable of producing 235 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.

1988 Mustang:

There were few noticeable changes to the Mustang in 1988. The Mustang GT had become an extremely popular car, with the production of 68,468 units produced in 1988 alone. As for available options, T-top production ceased early in the model year. In addition, California Mustang GTs featured a new mass airflow sensor instead of the older speed density system featured in previous models.

1989 Mustang:

In 1989, all Mustangs featured a new mass air system. In addition, Ford celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Mustang by inscribing a Mustang Pony and the words “25 Years” on the dash of all vehicles produced between April 17, 1989 and April 17,1990.

1990 Mustang:

Extending the celebration of the Mustang’s 25th anniversary, Ford released 2,000 limited edition jet-black Mustangs in the 1990 model year. Ford also introduced the first driver’s-side airbag as standard equipment.

1991 Mustang:

In 1991, Ford increased the horsepower of the base Mustang by offering an improved 105 hp twin-plug 2.3L four-cylinder engine with a distributor-less ignition. In addition, all V-8 Mustangs featured five-spoke 16x7-inch cast aluminum wheels.

1992 Mustang:

In 1992, Mustang sales were on a decline. In an effort to increase consumer enthusiasm, Ford released a limited-edition Mustang in the later part of the ’92 production year. Only a couple thousand of these limited-edition red convertibles with a special rear spoiler were ever produced. In addition, the Mustang LX outsold all other models combined in ‘92. The LX featured Ford’s 5.0L V-8 engine in a scaled down body style. The base model Mustang could be distinguished from the LX by its lack of dual exhaust pipes.

1993 Mustang:

Ford’s Special Vehicle Team made headlines again in 1993 when Ford introduced the limited-production SVT Mustang Cobra. A Cobra R version was also created. The Cobra R, which used the same engine as the Cobra, was designed by Ford as a complete racing machine. The vehicle was absent of air conditioning and a stereo system, and sold out prior to production.

ČETRTA GENERACIJA:

1994 Mustang:

Not only did 1994 mark the 30th anniversary of the Ford Mustang; it also ushered in the fourth generation of the car. The ’94 Mustang was built on a new SN-95/Fox4 Platform. Of the vehicle’s 1,850 parts, Ford reported that 1,330 had changed. The new Mustang looked different, and it drove differently as well. Structurally, it was engineered to be stiffer. Ford offered two engine options, the 3.8L V-6 engine and the 5.0L V-8 engine. Later in the year Ford released the redesigned SVT Mustang Cobra, which sported a 5.0L V-8 engine capable of generating 240 hp. The vehicle was featured as the official Indianapolis 500 pace car for the third time in history. Coupe and convertible models continued to be available options, while the hatchback body style was dropped from the Mustang lineup.

1995 Mustang:

This was the last year Ford used the 5.0L V-8 in the Mustang. In future models, Ford incorporated a 4.6L engine. In 1995, Ford released a stripped down version of the GT Mustang, named the GTS. It featured all the performance parts of the GT without the flashy styling accessories such as fog lights, leather seating, and power doors and windows.

1996 Mustang:

For the first time in history, Mustang GTs and Cobras were equipped with a 4.6L modular V-8 engine instead of the long used 5.0L V-8. The Cobra version featured a 4.6L dual-overhead cam (DOHC) aluminum V-8, which produced approximately 305 hp. The GTS Mustang remained in the lineup, although the model name changed from GTS to 248A.

1997 Mustang:

In 1997, Ford's Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) became a standard feature on all Mustangs. The system was designed to protect against drive away theft through the use of an electronically coded ignition key.

1998 Mustang:

Although there were very few changes to the Mustang in 1998, the GT version received a power upgrade as the 4.6L V-8 engine increased to 225 hp. Ford also offered a ‘Sports’ package in ’98, featuring black racing stripes. This was the last year for the round-body Mustang. Although the SN-95 Platform would continue to be used, the overall body style of the Mustang would change the following year.

1999 Mustang:

Many people mistake the 1999 model lineup as the launch of a new generation Mustang. Although the body style changed significantly, the Mustang was still based on the SN-95 Platform. The redesigned "New Edge" Mustang, which coincided with the 35th anniversary of the Mustang, featured sharp design lines and an aggressive stance in addition to a new grille, hood, and lamps. Both engines received power upgrades. The 3.8L V-6 increased in horsepower to 190 hp, while the 4.6L DOHC V-8 was capable of producing 320 hp.

2000 Mustang:

In 2000, Ford released the third version of the SVT Mustang Cobra R. In all, only 300 units were produced. This street legal Mustang featured a 385 hp, 5.4L DOHC V-8 engine. It was also the first Mustang to ever feature a six-speed manual transmission.

2001 Mustang:

Ford released the special-edition Mustang Bullitt GT in 2001. The car was based on the 1968 Mustang GT-390 driven by Steve McQueen in the movie "Bullitt". In all, an estimated 6,500 units were produced. Enthusiasts placed their orders for this vehicle long before they became available to dealerships. Those who waited until the model-year launch had a difficult time locating the Bullitt GT. The vehicle was only offered in Dark Highland Green. It featured a lowered suspension, a brushed-aluminum gas cap, and a "Bullitt" badge on the rear panel.

2002 Mustang:

There was no doubting it; the rising popularity of SUVs had resulted in fewer sales of American sports cars. In 2002, the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird both ended production of their sports cars. The Ford Mustang was the sole survivor.

2003 Mustang:

The Mustang Mach 1 returned to the Mustang lineup in 2003. It featured a ram-air “Shaker” hood scoop and a V-8 engine capable of producing 305 hp.

Meanwhile, Ford released a SVT Mustang Cobra that featured an Eaton supercharger for its 4.6L V-8 engine. Horsepower was upped to 390, which resulted in the fastest production Mustang at that time. Many enthusiasts note that Ford’s Cobra horsepower figure is inaccurate. It’s been widely reported that many stock Cobras were capable of outputting between 410 and 420 hp.

2004 Mustang:

In 2004, Ford produced its 300 millionth car – a 2004 Mustang GT convertible 40th Anniversary edition. In honor of this milestone, the company offered an Anniversary package which was available on all V-6 and GT models. The package featured a Crimson Red exterior with Arizona Beige Metallic racing stripes on the hood.

Unfortunately, this was the last year the Mustang was produced at Ford’s Dearborn Assembly Plant. It was reported that 6.7 million of the 8.3 million total Mustangs ever produced, at the time, were produced at Dearborn Assembly.

Mustang meni nikoli ni bil zanimiv. Nekako v redu mi je Mach1 '71-'72 coupe! Po svoje zanimiva mi je tretja gen. coupe '79-'80 in čet. generacija '99-'01. Prva generacija coupe je tudi še kar po mojem okusu ni pa to sanjski avto. Cabrioleti še posebej 1 gen. (64-65) mi je idealen ženski avto. Nasplošno me pa pri mustangih moti, ker so zelo majhni. 2. gen. hatchback je precej grd in tudi 5. gen. mi ni všeč.
Še opomba: komentiral sem samo zunanji izgled avtomobilov!!
