Some people call it the \u201cUltimate Classic Car.\u201d\u00a0The Mustang was a trendsetting design, creating a brand new car class called the &#8216;pony car&#8217;.\u00a0The car was named after the P-51 Mustang, a fighter plane used during World War II.<\/p><p>Ford marketed the original Mustang as a 1965 model, though Ford made several production changes to cars built after August 1964, by which time Ford\u00a0had already sold 120,000 cars. Hobbyists refer to early Mustangs as &#8220;1964\u00bd&#8221; models built between March and August 1964 at Ford\u2019s Dearborn, Michigan\u00a0Assembly Plant, while post-August cars are &#8220;late&#8221;

The car grew in length, width, and weight, primarily to allow the installation of a big-block engine. The 390-cid (6.4 litre) V-8 produced 335 hp, displacing the 289 as the top performer. Interior and exterior trim were revised, and a new 302-cid (4.9 litre) V-8 replaced the higher-horsepower 289s. For drag racing, Ford offered a 428-cid (7.0 litre) Cobra Jet V-8 rated at 335 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque.

For 1974, Ford introduced the Mustang II, a subcompact based on a stretched Pinto platform and available as a Notchback or Hatchback. Engine choices were a 140-cid (2.3 litre) four-cylinder or a 171-cid (2.8 litre) V-6. Ford pitched the Mustang II as an upscale economy car, with the luxury-themed Ghia topping the line-up. The Mustang II arrived in September 1973, just in time for the oil embargo, and the timing could not have been better: Sales rocketed to 386,000 for &#8217;74, the Mustang II&#8217;s best year. Contemporary reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and the Mustang II won\u00a0<em>Motor Trend<\/em>&#8216;s 1974 Car of the Year Award.<\/p><div><p class=\"25gxi\">As oil started to flow in &#8217;74, Americans returned to big cars. Ford shoe-horned in the 302 (4.9 litre) V-8 (labelled as a 5.0L), which produced a timid 140-hp, and Ford offered Cobra II and King Cobra models that were eye-catching if not particularly quick. Sales held at not quite 200,000 per year for 1975-78.

fifteen years. Code-named &#8220;SN-95&#8221; by the automaker, it was based on an updated version of the rear-wheel drive<span class=\"apple-converted-space\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Fox platform called &#8220;Fox-4.&#8221; The new styling by Patrick Schiavone\u00a0incorporated several styling cues from earlier Mustangs.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For the first time since its introduction 1964, a Notchback\u00a0coupe model was not available. The door windows on the coupe were once again frameless; however, the car had a fixed &#8220;B&#8221; pillar and rear windows.<\/span><\/p><p>The resemblance was clearer in the cabin, which featured a stylized version of the original Mustang&#8217;s twin-cowl dashboard.<\/p><p>Under the skin the new Mustang had a stiffened and enlarged version of the Fox platform. The suspension was tuned for a softer ride with comparable handling, though critics lamented its more benign understeering nature. The 4.9 litre V-8 returned with 215-hp, and the new base engine was a stout 3.8 litre V-6. In 1996, Ford replaced the 4.9L with the &#8220;modular&#8221; 4.6 litre OHC V-8. Output was similar to the 4.9L, but the engine was criticized for a lack of low-end torque. A more powerful limited-run SVT Cobra remained in the line-up.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-290633 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mustang.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Unknown-58-300x138.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mustang.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Unknown-58-300x138.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.mustang.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Unknown-58.jpeg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-290632 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mustang.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Unknown-57.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><hr \/><h3>1995<\/h3><p>The base model came with a 3.8 OHV V6 3.8L (232 cu in) engine rated at 145-hp (108 kW) in 1995, and was mated to a standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

Ford had finally ditched the 25-plus-year-old Fox platform, though the new Mustang retained its live rear axle in order to keep costs down, a move the automotive press harshly criticized. The base V6 Mustang used a 4.0 litre V-6 that produced 210-hp, while the 4.6 litre V-8 was now up to 300-hp.
