Mustang

Since there was a major restyling in ’71, the 1972 Mustang remained largely unchanged. America said goodbye to the Boss model, the H.O. 351 was the best power plant in 1972. Compression was down but still retained solid lifters.

The 1973 Mustang marked the end of the ‘big’ Mustang, as a smaller, lighter breed would replace it.

The 1970 Mustang changed little from ’69 and included dual-unit headlights instead of the quad-unit used previously. The 390ci was dropped and the 351ci Cleveland replaced the 351 Windsor. The Mach 1, Boss 302, and Boss 429 returned The Mach 1 still retained the 428CJ as top power plant.

The 1967 Mustang received significant styling changes that included revised grille and taillights-the taillights you recognize on Mustangs these days with the three vertical lights on either side of the tail.

Not much was changed for the 1966 Mustang due to great sales from previous years. However, 14-inch tires came standard on all models and the GT’s instrument cluster was made standard on all models.

Carroll Shelby and Ford collaborated to produce the GT-350 that was a fastback specially tuned by Shelby and produced 306hp in street tune, but 360hp in special GT-350R race tune.

The Ford Mustang made its introduction on April 17, 1964 at the World’s Fair in New York, and nationwide at Ford showrooms.
