The American Muscle cars

Posted: Nov 04, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 106 |

The first Ford Mustang went on the market in April of 1964, marketed as "the car designed by you". These models have 1965 VIN's and many debate what to call this pony car - the 1964 ½ or 1965 model. Mustang lovers would recognize the difference. The first Mustang was equipped with a generator and 260 cubic inch V8 engine. This changed in 1965 when alternators replaced generators and the V8 was upgraded to 289 cubic inches. You could order your Mustang as plain, fast, fancy and/or economical as you wanted.

From its inception to present, the Mustang has won many racing championships. Cosmetic features were enhanced in 1966. The first major redesign took place in 1967 with an increase in length and height of the body along with and extended roof line. The Cobra Jet engine was introduced in 1968. The Boss model was released in 1969, offering a fresh style with a new Sports Roof and longer body and a Windsor V8 engine.

The Mustang was redesigned two inches longer and wider in 1971. The Boss models were discontinued due to government fuel regulations and the 351HO model was introduced in 1972. A smaller style was produced in 1973 (the ugliest Mustang in my opinion) and would be the last Mustang convertible for many years.

    Owning a classic car is often called a labor of love. Anyone that has one knows that the project is never finished. Once the older vehicle is running, other parts often need to be restored. For serious classic car enthusiasts, garages, car lifts and tools are all important elements to restoring older vehicles. Casual mechanics focus on keeping them competitive at car shows or at least the road worthy and fun to drive.

    These babies are going extra cheap nowadays due to a few factors. The first is of course, the cost of fuel. With gas prices soaring, and as we know a big block v8 engine (especially one from the 60s or 70s) guzzles through gas fast enough to make your wallet shrivel up in fear, the fact is that many people simply cannot afford to run these old girls any more. As we all know, consumption of gas is not just a financial concern either... Using this formula the big three decided to go a head with a
