If you frequent the Movies section of this site, then you already know that the Mustang has been featured in an anime title - the 1967 Shelby GT500 in the 1995 series Gunsmith Cats:
But this wasn't the first time anime had Mustangs. Here's a list of other titles:
Riding Bean (1989) - Detective Percy uses a '67 Shelby GT500 to chase the show's hero, who drives what seems to be a cross between a Porsche and a Corvette. This anime was also by the same creator of Gunsmith Cats
Street Fighter II: The Movie (1994) - The Japanese must really love Shelby Mustangs. Guile drives a blue '66 GT 350 on the busy New York streets on his way to save Chun-Li from being killed by Vega.
You're Under Arrest: No Mercy! (2002) - Spinoff of the popular anime series of the same title. Traffic officers Miyuki and Natsumi drive a yellow 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 when off-duty.
Here are some screenshots of the yellow Mustang for your enjoyment.

The You're Under Arrest special is a major disappointment, as the car chases are bland (considering that the first two episodes of the original anime series had some of the best car chase scenes ever animated) and the animation quality is no better than an episode of Pokemon. Thankfully, it's not available in the U.S.

Another great anime worth mentioning is Gatchaman. One of the main characters, Joe, drives a Shelby Cobra.

Thanks a lot!!!
Very cool stuff... I still love that Shelby in the Street Fighter movie!
I just rented the Street Fighter Anniversary video game, and it has the Anime in there.... I still love watching Guile floor it after he hears Chun Li in trouble.
I still believe that Vega got robbed LOL
I gotta watch Gunsmith Cats now... Gonna ask my brother (the Anime expert) if he's seen it.

Welp, I asked my brother about Gunsmith Cats, and he says that he's read the Manga's... He says they kick ****, and that the mustang kicks ****.
After I told him about the Mustangs in Animes, he right away said Gunsmith Cats lol
