1964 1/2 to 1973 Ford Mustang

The Post war Ford Mustang is easily one of the most beloved cars of the 20th Century. The brain child of Lee Iacocca it stands as one of most recognized symbols of 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 and current time. Iacocca had a vision for a Mustang that could be all things to all people. From very a sporty Boss 429 to a 1965 Mustang 6 cylinder family cruiser the Ford Mustang was an immediate sensation in 1965.  Throughout the years the Ford Mustang and Shelby came with hundreds of different options such as:

Engines:

• 170 ci

• 200 ci

• 250 ci

• 260 ci

• 289 ci  2v 4v Hi performance

• 302 ci  2v 4v Hi performance

• 351 ci Cleveland Windsor

• 390 ci

• 427 ci

• 428 ci

• 429 ci

Of course many other parts options came with the different engines, different heads, intake manifolds, transmissions, ram air, superchargers just to name a very few.

Interior color options are almost to many to mention but I think it is important to at least give you some names for reference:

Interior Colors:

• Red

• White

• Blue

• Ivy Gold

• Palomino

• Aqua

• Parchment

• Saddle

• Dark Red

• Nugget Gold

• Ivy

• Ginger

• Medium Green

• Avocado

That's not meant to be a complete list, the number of actual trim codes is staggering (several hundred). If you ever need help sorting yours out please feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you if I can. Many other changes and interior options were available throughout the years. Changes always seemed to include Instrument Bezels, Steering Wheels, Carpet Kits, Headliner Colors, door panels, consoles and of course upholstery colors. 

Wheels were also an important part of the changes that were made from year to year on the Mustang. Again, there are many to mention but this is a pretty important part of the exterior changes made to the Mustang so I'll give you most of them.

While we are on Interior let talk just a minute about radios. From 1966 to 1973 the choices for radios were limited at best. The choices were:

• AM

• AM / FM

• AM / FM / 8 TRACK

The most rare of these is the AM / FM. I would have personally thought that it would have been the AM / FM / 8 TRACK. However, except for the complete purist, most people are replacing the old radios with something better. As long as you DON'T CUT THE DASH! Here is a page that gives some options for MUSTANG RADIOS.

Many of the Mustangs being restored now also are in need of dash replacement. There are many options but here is a page of some of the dash products we sell: MUSTANG DASH

Wheels:

• Standard Steel Wheels 13" x 4.5"

• Standard Steel Wheels 14" x 5"

• Standard Steel Wheels 15" x 5"

• Styled Steel Wheels Chrome

• Styled Steel Wheels Argent

• Magnum 500 Wheels

• 5 Spoke Shelby Wheels

• 10 Spoke Shelby Wheels

• Kelsey Hayes Mag Star

• Styled Steel Wheels Slotted

There are many Variations of the years and availability of the rims. So, without a build sheet never depend on which wheels came with your Mustang. From year to year you could almost depend that the grill would change too. The ever present pony would be surrounded by and ever changing corral or sometimes no corral at all.

 There were many packages sold too but here is some to keep in mind:

Packages:

• GT Package

• California Special

• Colorado Special

• Twister Special

• Boss Package

• Indy Pace Setter

• Indy Pace Car

• Mach 1

• Grande

• Sprint

The packages each had many variations too. Colors, fabrics and much more.

Lee Iaccocca went into the project with very specific ideas for the coming Mustang. However, even as general manager of Ford he had to prove his plans to build the Mustang. Ford would need to spent tens of millions of dollars to produce the Mustang and it was not an easy sell.  After exhaustive market research and more than a year of styling changes, the Mustang was finally ready to be built. The new design was to fit in Iacocca's specifications:

• Price less than $2,500.00

• Less than 180" long

• Four Passenger

• Bucket Seats in the front

• Floor shift

• 6 cylinder standard, V-8 Available

• Sporty look

• A long, long option list from the factory and dealer

As the design took place it is interesting to know that out of the clay models that were designed as prototypes the one that was chosen was named "Cougar" designed by David Ash Executive Designer. Then the name was changed to the "Torino" before finally settling on the Mustang.  On April 17, 1964 the Mustang officially became available for sale. It was big news at the time and showrooms were crowded with people waiting to see the Mustang.
