Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 and created a new market segment which was called the ‘Pony Car.’ For 1966, only minor styling changes were made, as the Mustang was still enjoying strong sales. For 1967, Ford reluctantly opted to re-style its class-leading Mustang for the 1967 model year as they were faced with increasing competition from other marques, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger. The 1967 Mustang became more visually imposing than its predecessor with its jutting grille, widened sheetmetal, and concave rear panel. With more engine bay space, the Mustang was now able to accommodate larger engines. Thus, the 1967 Mustang was the first to be fitted with a ‘big block’ V8, the 390 ‘S’ code. The hardtop coupe body styles was the most popular, with 356,271 examples sold.
