Vehicle description

Model history:

The Mustang is already being born as a legend: tens of thousands of Americans want to own this car in response to a large-scale advertising campaign. Produced from 1964, the one millionth Mustang rolls off the production line just 2 years later. With its perfect proportions – long bonnet, short rear – the Mustang, despite its simple technology, exudes a very special charm that corresponds to the automotive dreams of an entire nation and which hardly anyone can escape today. The Mustang I of the 1st generation was available either with a six-cylinder in-line engine or with V8 engines, in which there were 4.3-liters in the early models and later 4.7-liters of displacement were available.
