Many photos at link. Ford’s latest Mustang is a tribute to one of the originals. Not a car, but an airplane and the man who flew it. The modified Mustang GT was built by Roush Performance for a charity auction benefiting the education programs of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). It features a paint scheme designed after the one on a World War II P-51 Mustang fighter known as “Old Crow” that was piloted by one of the most honored American airmen in history, C.E. Bud Anderson. Anderson became a triple ace during the war with 16 ¼ victories in...

Usually, when you buy a used car you get the title from the owner, but a 1968 Ford Mustang GT was recently sold with a previous owner included. His earthly remains, at least. According to an account posted to MustangFanClub, the rusty car had been sitting in a Florida barn since the 1970s when its owner, James, passed away a few years ago. His best friend Bruce asked the family if he could buy it from them. They agreed, and he moved it with him to North Carolina. Unable to get around to fixing it himself, Bruce decided to put...

It was full of memories of paper routes, trips to California and Dennis’ time in the U.S. Navy, but had gotten run down and in need of a restoration. Dennis and his wife Susan were doing just that when they got the news earlier this month that it was stolen from her parents’ garage in Indianapolis, where they were keeping it while they worked on it. “We just now were in a position to put some money into it,” Susan told Fox59. “And we’ve put quite a bit of work into it already, it was almost done.” Susan’s parents were...

The 3 cars that I believe exemplify the most dramatic swings are the Ford Mustang (1967 vs 1975), Pontiac GTO (1967 vs 2004) and the Dodge Challenger (1971 vs 1981). (same-year examples may not necassarily be the same car)

An original Ford Mustang billed as the first hard-top example is coming up for auction. It will go under the hammer at Barrett-Jackson's annual sale in Scottsdale, Arizona running January 12-20, 2019. This is a 1965 Mustang coupe bearing a VIN ending in 00002, meaning it comes after the 1965 Mustang convertible with VIN ending in 00001 currently sitting in The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Both of these were pre-production examples. (Note, the famous 1964½ model year was only unofficially applied after sales started to differentiate the earliest '65 Mustangs from later versions that received some updates.) There’s...

The Ford Mustang is an American car manufactured by Ford. It was originally based on the platform of the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car.[1] The original 1962 Ford Mustang I two-seater concept car had evolved into the 1963 Mustang II four-seater concept car which Ford used to pretest how the public would take interest in the first production Mustang. The 1963 Mustang II concept car was designed with a variation of the production model's front and rear ends with a roof that was 2.7 inches shorter.[2] Introduced early on April 17, 1964[3] (16 days after the...
