The Complete Book of Ford Mustang: Every Model Since 1964-1/2 (Complete Book Series)

This lavishly illustrated, officially licensed reference work walks you through Mustang’s nearly 60 years of continuous production—a rich and varied history nearly unmatched in the automotive world.

Ford’s Mustang is America’s most iconic pony car. According to many, it is the only vehicle that really actually deserves the title “pony car.” From the first six-cylinder Mustang of 1964-1/2 through fire-breathing, world-beating Boss and Shelby versions of the 1960s and early ’70s, to today’s Mustang Mach 1 and Shelby GT500, The Complete Book of Ford Mustang offers an in-depth look at the prototypes and experimental models, the anniversary and pace cars, and the specialty packages for street and competition driving that have made the Mustang an automotive legend for nearly 60 years.

Created in cooperation with Ford and providing extensive details, specifications, and photographic coverage, this book is the ultimate resource on America’s best-loved pony car. Any muscle-car enthusiast, motorsports fan, or car collector will want this book in their collection.

From the Publisher

1969 SHELBY GT350

Scoops abounded on the 1969 Shelby Mustang’s new nose, while only one pair appeared in back, as opposed to the four rear-quarter scoops used on the GT350 and GT500 in 1967 and 1968. Rear scoops varied by body style: fastback scoops were inset up high, convertible scoops protruded and were lower to avoid a conflict with the top mechanism. Rear styling remained familiar, save for revised aluminum exhaust outlets located side by side in the center of the valance panel.

BOSS 429 V-8 ENGINE

Created to legalize the 429-ci “Blue Crescent” V-8 for NASCAR competition, this big-block beast, like the Cobra Jet Mustang, was best suited for straight-line speed runs. The big Boss 429 V-8 was literally shoehorned between Mustang flanks at the Kar Kraft works in Brighton, Michigan.

1971 MUSTANG MACH 1

Completing the standard 1971 Mach 1 exterior were color-keyed racing mirrors and a racing-style pop-open gas cap in back. Twin round exhaust extensions were included whenever one of the optional four-barrel V-8s was ordered. Unlike previous Mach 1s, which came standard with a flashy hood, the base rendition in 1971 was fitted only with a typical Mustang lid—no scoops, no black-out stripes, no lettering, no competition-style hood pins.
