Ever wonder....

"What options were available for my year Mustang?"
"What options were included in the Mach 1 package for my 69/70/71/72/73?"
"What is the REAL difference between a 64 1/2 and a 65???"

The answers are contained in this book.

I've been restoring Mustangs since I was 19, back in 1989. This book is one of the first that I bought and has been with me ever since. I use it all the time, referencing ID codes, engine combos, options packages and a multitude of other details. This is one of the most comprehensive and accurate volumes that you will ever purchase. Personally, I'm on my third copy.

The book details year-to-year body and trim changes, interior and exterior options, powertrain combinations, paint/trim combinations, as well as a complete VIN # and Data Plate decoding matrix. It is written in a factual, yet easy to read manner that is not interjected with any form of opinion, slant or spin.

Since you are reading this online, I can assume that you may have been to some of the Mustang discussion forums on the Internet. The amount of incomplete, twisted and just plain wrong information that is tossed around by some of the posters is phenominal. If you have ever questioned the postings of another user, I heavily recommend you get this book.

Whether you already own, or are considering the purchase of a 64.5~73 Mustang, this book should be in your library. It can make the difference between a great purchase and a "What the heck did I buy?" purchase.......

Seriously, just buy this book..........

What a book! Its an all color book.Color photos of each year model,interior photos and detailed information make this one of the ultimate reference books on first generation Mustangs.

Covers all the GT's,GT/CS,1968 1/2 Cobra Jet,Mach1,Boss 302,Boss 429,Grande and Shelby mustangs.This book has got the lot.Its a softcover book and its very high quality and highly researched by these well known Mustang authors:Larry Dobbs,Donald Farr,Jerry Heasley and Rick Kopec.These guys know their mustangs and this book proves it.

I also recommend a similar book:
"Ford Mustang:1964-1/2 to 1973:Orginality guide for restorers and scale model builders".By Pat Covert.(A Musclecar Tech book.)

Mustang Recognition Guide says it all. For example, pour through this book and you will learn how to identify a Mustang you see on the street by its tail-light design! Extremely detailed by photos and friendly text, from door handles to grills, from fins to fastbacks and more. Everything you've always wanted to know about Mustangs of the era. Great idea, also, to give as a gift to the Mustang aficianado on your gift list.

The Mustang Restoration Guide is a great resource if you own or are planning to buy a classic Mustang. The authors explain all available options and packages as well as a comprehensive VIN decoder. Our family recently purchased a '67 Mustang and I was amazed at all the info this book had to offer. A real treat.
