John Najjar and Philip t Clark have been credited for the name and original design of the Ford Mustang.

On the other hand, there is another story that tells, Robert J Eggert came up with the name based on the title of a book, The Mustangs by J Frank Dobie.

Two companies in Europe names Krupp Trucks and Kreidler Mopeds were using the name Mustang on various vehicles.

Ford was offered the name Mustang from Krupp for $10,000 but, did not accept the offer. So the Mustang was sold as the T-5 until 1978.

FORD MUSTANG AMERICAN ORIGINAL PONY CAR

First Generation 1964 1/2 to 1973

Lee Iacocca and Donald N Frey headed the T-5 as it was called early in development. The car was designed and developed in 18 short months from concept to design and finally production.

The Mustang was first developed as a mid-engine two-seater then later changed to the two seat and rear bench as we know it now, because the Thunderbird was a two-seater and had failed with poor sales in 1955.

Mustang used many parts also used in other models like the Falcon and Fairlane in order to reduce cost, for manufacturing.

Dealerships also benefit from reduced inventory stocking of parts due to the popular Mustang models common internal parts.

Cost, of the 1964 1/2 was $2,368. The engine was 260cubic inch V8 and was later replaced with a 289 V8. Some very early models came with 170 Cubic inch V6 from the Falcon.

After 18 months ford had manufactured more than 1,000,000 One million Mustangs.

Second Generation 1974 to 1978

The idea for the second generation of Mustang was to be designed like the Ford Maverick so Mustangs would be smaller and lighter but, instead used the Ford Pinto subcompact design.

During 1973, the small size helped Mustang compete against small imports such as Toyota, Datsun and Mercury Capri in the small sports coupe market. This is the time the world was in the OIL CRISIS!

The King Cobra showed up in 1978 and was marked with the classic Ford V8 on the front fenders.

Engine and Transmission

Starting in 1974 the Mustang came with 2.3 I-4 from the Pinto and a 2.8L Cologne from The Capri.

1975 reintroduced 302CI 5.0L with C-4 automatic and power steering and brakes, this was used until 1978.

Other transmissions were RAD-4 manual and the C-3.

The Ghia was the heavier and more luxurious model with more interior sound baffling and a thick panel of Vinyl on the roof it also came as a hatchback.

Third Generation 1979 to 1993

The Third Generations were built on a platform that was shared with the Ford Fairmount and the Mercury Zephyr, this made the interior more roomy for passengers, Engine and trunk.

1981 the Cobra was re-introduced with power door locks tilt steering and Speed control and body mods to make it look more sporty.

Engines included 2.3 from the Pinto, German 2.8 V6, 5.0 V8 Windsor.

After the oil crisis in 1979 the 5.0 was redesigned and along came 4.2 V8 less hp (120) and a 3 speed automatic.

1981 2.3 ltr turbo was the only real performance choice you could get and it was always having issues with internal oil flow and some catching fire, then was discontinued in the USA but, still available in Canada.

1983 the 2.3 returned in the new Turbo GT with T roof and traction lock transmission along with sporty body decals. Thier was also the cobra model with a different grill and body modifications.

1982 the GT returned with the 5.0 and 160hp 5 speed manual with the recycles badges from 1979, also available 4.2 V8 but, this would be the 4.2lt with automatics last year for Mustang.

In 1986, the Mustang featured (EFI) Electronic Fuel Injection as the carburetors were phased out.

Ford was going to change the Mustang to a front wheel drive in 1987 but, Mustang fans overwhelmed the company with mail and then the mustang got a facelift and remained in the Ford stables.

The model that was destined to become the new front wheel drive Mustang based on the Mazda MX-6 then became the Ford Probe.

Pros: Plenty of horsepower with all new body and interior styling the sixth generation Mustang is sure to get the looks as you drive down the strip with this beauty.

Cons: Not a true family car but, if you want to go on a short trip or for your daily commute it is fine. Not great for fuel economy but, I don’t think that is why you buy a Mustang to begin with.
