In 1964 the Ford Mustang arrived on the American market and was a success story from the beginning being one of the fastest selling cars of all time 418,000 in its first year and over a million by 1966. The Mustang was based on the floorpan of the budget Falcon range. The models came in notchback, fastback and convertible and ordered with a vast range of options. For the ultimate in Mustang muscle Carroll Shelby offered an officially sanctioned road racer based on the fastback called the GT350 that has passed into legend up to 425bhp in the later seven litre GT500 form and was a true muscle car. In the film Bullitt in '68 it was a GT350 that Steve McQueen used to pursue the Dodge charger. It wasn't until 1969 that the longer raunchier mustangs marked the start of the rot. In 1973 the model Mustang II a meek and mild economy car launched in the wake of the oil crisis that was intended to capture the spirit of the original and although it sold well, over a million sales it would never be classic unlike its predecessor. We have undertaken a full restoration on a 1966 convertible and regulary service and maintain others. Suprisingly in an island as small as Jersey there are 5 1960's Mustangs cruising the lanes, including 1960's convertibles and fastbacks and a 500Gt Shelby. A true classic with a dedicated following.
