Book Description

June 15, 2008 Motorbooks Classic
Ford Mustang. From 1964 1/2 to 1973, those words meant fun and freedom for an entire generation. Sporty, quick, and affordable, the original pony car's reputation was fueled by racing success on drag strips and road courses. Today, these classic Mustangs are among the most popular and sought-after cars of that era. 
In this book, Mike Mueller tells the Mustang's story from its design and 1964 introduction up to 1973, when an era ended as the down-sized 1974 Mustang II made its debut. It's an intriguing tale of an American performance icon, the people that created it, and the marketing machine that drove its success.
It's a story that every Mustang fan must own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pictures vs. Content, November 13, 2000
By 
This review is from: Mustang 1964-1/2-1973 (Hardcover)
Since there are so many books covering this subject, it's probably difficult to truly stand out while re-telling this familiar story. Given that, the author must resort to including some fine photographs - which he does amply - to make this book unique. While nothing new or extraordianry for well-read enthusiasts, it's a great first purchase for someone new to the subject. For a much more substantial book by the same author, see "Motor City Muscle."

This review is from: Mustang 1964-1/2-1973 (Hardcover)
Im a 13 year old Mustang enthusiast and this book helped me to really get a good understanding of the tale of Americas first pony car.Mueller does a great job of tracking down some of Americas best restored Mustangs make up some really great photos.Great information but can get a little overwelming at times.A good all around job.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of 2 the best books on first generation Mustang's., May 24, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mustang 1964-1/2-1973 (Hardcover)
There are a lot of books covering each year model Mustang but very few books that cater specifically for 1964-1/2 to 1973 Mustang's.(commonly refered to as the first generation Mustang's).This is one of 2 books,and this one is the best.This is a good history of these Mustang's with plenty of information as well as many beautiful photographs throughout.This book will impress.

This book is a work of art.Its well researched and it shows.Its definitely not a coffee table book.It is a comprehensive book on these first generation Mustang's.It deserves a place in your Mustang book collection.I was too busy enjoying this book so I didnt bother trying to find any faults.I hope the author will consider further books like this one on the other generations of Mustang's.

This is the other book I recommend on these first generation Mustang's:
"Ford Mustang:1964 and 1/2 to 1973" By Pat Covert.A Musclecar Tech book.(ISBN:1-58007-079-5).Its also available here at Amazon.com.
