Model history
The first generation of the Ford Mustang (1964-1973) established the pony car class and was celebrated for its sporty design with a long hood and short rear end. Originally designed as a compact model based on the Ford Falcon, the Mustang grew in size and performance with each revision. The 1971 generation in particular brought a striking redesign. After initial sales success, numbers declined and Ford responded early to the 1973 oil crisis by developing the smaller Mustang II, which was introduced in 1974.

Comments of this past auction
Wieso ist das Gutachten auf Seite 5 mit Datum 03.11.21 wenn das Fahrzeug erst im November 2022 dort vorgeführt wurde ?
Es empfiehlt sich aber ohnehin, ein aktuelles Gutachten für die Versichrung erstellen zu lassen…
Das falsche Datum ist mir noch gar nicht aufgefallen. Lass‘ ich korrigieren
Technik: Dem Mustang war vom Start weg ein großer Erfolg beschieden. Das Fahrzeug sollte das junge, sportliche Publikum ansprechen und konnte ab 2.368 US-Dollar (nach heutiger Kaufkraft und inflationsbereinigt entspricht dies rund 21.000 US-Dollar) erworben werden. Am Abend des offiziellen Verkaufsstarts, dem 17. April 1964, waren bereits etwa 22.000 Fahrzeuge verkauft. Bis Ende des ersten (allerdings überlangen) Modelljahres konnten 680.992 Einheiten verkauft werden. Dies stellte einen Rekord in den USA dar. Ganz offensichtlich füllte er auf dem Markt eine Lücke, deren Ausmaß nicht zu erahnen gewesen war. Ford rechnete optimistisch mit 240.000 verkauften Exemplaren. Weder der vom Konzept her ähnliche, ab 1960 gebaute Chevrolet Corvair Monza noch der kurz vor dem Mustang erschienene Plymouth Barracuda waren auch nur annähernd so erfolgreich. LG Tom
Vielen Dank für die kurze Historie !
Warum hängt das Heck so tief ?
Die Frage müsste lauten, warum ist der original vorne so hoch… Viele kürzten deshalb die Federn vorne
Wollte gerade sagen... Sind die nicht serienmäßig schon immer super hoch gewesen? Bin kein Experte, aber ist mir beim letzten Oldietreff auch schon mal aufgefallen.
Hatte das Fahrzeug schon mal TÜV oder muss erst noch eine Vollabnahme erfolgen?
Hallo WallyGER, der TÜV wird am Montag (17.03.) erneuert. Beste Grüße - Ihr Kickdown Team
War heute morgen beim TÜV 🙋♂️
