mustang - things to know
so now that i'm a new owner and this is my first mustang here's what i've pieced together (plus a tidbit about ole henry)
- 1962 ford introduced a concept car for the mustang that was awesome looking
- the mustang was conceived and brought to life by lee iaccoa (who went on to head up chrysler)
- the first mustang came out as a 1965 model in mid-1964
- once the full 1965 model year came, the mustang included a gt options pack so that was the first ever gt
- the fast back was also introduced in 1965 model year. the early release was only the non-fast back (is there a term for it, notch-back?)
- henry ford was originally REJECTED by the USA owner's of the automobile patent, but challenged one of the board members to a race against his model-a and won! that board member had what was regarded as THE fastest horseless-carriage at the time of the race
