A page dedicated to the "Old Ford Mustang" Enthusiast

The Ford Mustang was born in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964, and was formally introduced at the World's Fair in New York a month later. A month after that the new Mustang was presented as the pace car at the 1964 Indianapolis 500.

The Mustang name was selected by one of the Ford stylists' who happened to be an avid fan of WWII airplanes, the "P51 Mustang," in particular.

Lots of old pony cars have regained public interest recently, but The old Ford Mustang is the only original pony car that has stayed in production with no interruptions since it's inception. That fact is really significant when you consider that even the most cherished, most rare Mustang ever built, was assembled on a moving assembly line by the same workers who produced the Ford Falcon's, Fairlanes, and Galaxies.

The Ford Mustang has become an American staple, creating over four decades of driving excitement world wide. In the first abbreviated production year, the 1964 1/2 Mustang sold over 125,000 cars, with the V8 motors outselling the six cylinder motors three to one. In it's second year of production the 1965 Ford Mustang sold over 400,000 units! To the surprise of Ford, the 1966 Ford Mustangs outsold the 1965 models, with an unbelievable total of over 600,000 cars..

Soon these classic old Mustangs became so popular that they just had to enter the race circuit, so...enter the "Shelby Mustang." Carroll Shelby was the man who was destined to be the one to put the Chevy Corvette in its place, with another two seater race car. And thus the Shelby Mustang 350 was born, another classic Mustang that would last into 1970.

All in all these old Ford Mustangs, representing 1964, 1965, and 1966 represent the true classic Mustangs we all remember, and cherish.
