. Already in 1960, Mr. Iacocca had in mind for a sports car that holds four people. His idea was to create a car that can be bought by the masses and costs less than $ 2500.00. It was no secret at the time that Ford was not necessarily to spend millions of dollars of new tools for a car that was sold to a market fully tested.Thanks to intense market analysis and determination of Mr. Bulldog Iacocca, Ford has finally given the green light to build two sports doors. In an interesting twist to the final clay model was adopted in September 1962, known as “Cougar”.The name was changed, of course, Mustang, but not before “Torino” and “T-5 ‘were also considered.After all the T-5 is the secret code name for the project so far. From September 1962 to its introduction in 1964, the Ford engineering team worked feverishly to meet deadlines and keep the car you want at a price of $ 2,500.00.17 April 1964, it is time for the public to meet the new Ford Mustang. Thanks to a clever advertising campaign that includes television, magazines, radio and newspapers Ford dealers in the United States has been invaded by the buyers and the public to get their first real look at the car I heard so much. Report showrooms stuck and people sleeping in cars just to have the option to purchase was the norm. Mr. Iacocca could only dream of a revolution that began in the automotive world.It is easier for the decomposition of groups Mustang change the style of the body and move further away. The first group of Mustangs have come to be known as the first generation of cars sold between April 1964 and 1966 model 1967 and 1968 Mustang “second generation” cars offered no changes in body style and drivetrain to keep looking new and more powerful to reserve your place at the newly-introduced the Camaro. 1969 and 1970 Mustang “third generation” cars was a big change, but with a larger body and more power.

1971-1973 Mustang “fourth generation” has been called the “big” Mustangs as the wheelbase was only an inch longer than the 1969 Mustang and the body just two and a half inches longer than the weather was much more an untrained eye.1974-1978 Mustang “fifth generation” Mustang II was a big change from earlier models, but to the surprise of many, the model 74 was the best selling model so far.
