Ford’s Mustang is the stuff of automotive legend: selling more than 20,000 cars on the first day of release; delivering nearly half a million in the first year; fitting the bill for everyone from secretaries to CEOs; being at home on street, track or forest and still going strong today—half a century on.
This month’s feature story chronicling the very earliest competition efforts with Mustangs turned our attention in that direction, so we thought this site might allow you to dig a bit below the surface.
On the “History” page are the details behind the story capsulized above, delineating the myriad options available to individualize your Mustang, including engine and transmission options and choices of colors both inside and out. It then traces the development of the car through 1973.
The links along the left edge of the page will divulge information in categories such as: “The Bosses,” covering the car’s Boss versions; “Shelbys,” discussing the variations created by Carroll Shelby; and “AC Cobras” where the site looks at the Mustang’s semi-sibling, the Ford-powered Cobra.
Other buttons offer “Merchandise,” a “Pony Corral,” where individual Mustangs are profiled, “Decoders,” where the various option packages are discussed; “Production” which breaks down the numbers for each body style and option choice; the self-explanatory “Engine Specs,” and then “Links,” “Pics,” “Feedback” and “Forum.” Anyone interested in the Mustang will likely find something of value here.
