Model history
The Mustang was born a legend: thousands of Americans wanted to own this car in response to a large-scale advertising campaign. Produced from 1964, the millionth Mustang rolled off the production line just two years later. With its perfect proportions – long hood, short rear – the Mustang exudes a very special appeal despite its simple technology, fulfilling the automotive dreams of an entire nation and captivating almost everyone today. The first-generation Mustang I was available with either a six-cylinder in-line engine or V8 engines, with 4.3-liter engines in the early models and later 4.7-liter engines.

Technik: Der Ford Mustang ist ein seit Frühjahr 1964 vom amerikanischen Automobilhersteller Ford gebauter Sportwagen, der in den Vereinigten Staaten auch als Muscle-Car bezeichnet wird. Da die Benennung „Mustang“ für die Unternehmen Krupp und Kreidler markenrechtlich geschützt war, wurde der Mustang bis 1979 in Deutschland als „T5“ vertrieben. Der Mustang löste den Thunderbird als Nummer eins der Sportcoupés von Ford ab. Im August 2018 wurde in Dearborn, Michigan der 10-millionste Ford Mustang produziert. Die aktuelle Modellreihe wird seit 2023 produziert und derzeit auch in Europa angeboten. Offiziell sind auch die frühen Mustang-Modelle, produziert vor September 1964, dem Modelljahr 1965 zugeordnet. Sie hatten unter anderem einen etwas kleineren Kühlergrill und den 4,3-Liter-V8-Motor (260 Kubikzoll) aus dem Ford Falcon, statt des ab September verwendeten 4,7-Liter-V8-Motors (289 Kubikzoll). Um diese ersten Fahrzeuge von den ab September gebauten zu unterscheiden, werden sie inoffiziell meist als „Modelljahr 1964 ½“ bezeichnet. LG Tom
