Title: Mustang 1964 ½ - 1973

Introduction: When the Mustang started to take the initiative in muscle cars, the horsepower wars got started. From 1964 ½ - 1973 was the Mustang's debut as a muscle car. This book will show all of the information about the Mustang from 1964 ½ - 1973.

In the sixties horsepower was high and gas prices were low. The Mustang was one of the first cars that started the horsepower wars. As muscle cars started coming out with increased compression ratios and heavier iron the Mustang didn't get left behind. This author captures how the Mustang was designed and how it varied from its competitors. It discusses how the Mustang was a true muscle car with both pros and cons. It also shows how the designers of the vehicle thought out and plotted making and designing the Mustang. This book focuses on Mustangs from 1964 ½ to 1973.

The author did a great job capturing the Mustang from 1964 ½ to 1973. He left nothing out when discussing how the Mustang was designed and built. He captures every aspect of the Mustang including the building and design of the engine, suspension, drive train, and body. Everything that was done to the Mustang between 1964 ½ to 1973 is in this book.

The author achieved his goal of writing about a book that described every aspect of the Mustang from 1964 ½ to 1973. The writing is very effective and has much strength. The information provided in the book explains every aspect of the engineers design when building the car. The only weakness that the book had was that it didn't mention the Shelby Super Snake which was a car that Carroll Shelby built in the 60s. I would definitely recommend this book to others and encourage anyone that loves Mustangs, especially older Mustangs to read it.

The book taught me some things that I didn't know, and I read a lot about these cars. I give the book a thumbs up and I am very pleased with the book.

Not very good. Poor facts and mostly talks about Shelby's and the high end Mustangs. Lots of hype and that's about it. Only good things are the photos which are pretty much stock stuff seen else where. Book is just a belly drop.
