The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, Fifth Edition

The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, Fifth Edition is an officially licensed, lavishly illustrated reference covering more than 60 years of Mustang history, updated through the 2026 model year. Created in cooperation with Ford, this detailed volume follows America’s most famous pony car from the original 1964½ Mustang through modern high-performance models like the Dark Horse and GTD.

Inside, readers will find in-depth commentary, detailed specifications, and outstanding photography covering six-cylinder models, Boss and Shelby variants, prototypes, experimental cars, anniversary editions, pace cars, and specialty packages built for both street and competition use.

Inside Shelby American: Wrenching and Racing with Carroll Shelby in the 1960s

Inside Shelby American tells the firsthand story of John Morton, who entered the Shelby School of High Performance Driving in 1962 and soon found himself working inside the newly formed Shelby American. Starting with a broom and eventually moving behind the wheel, Morton witnessed the rise of one of the most famous racing teams and performance car builders of the 1960s.

The book captures the people and machines that made Shelby American legendary, including Carroll Shelby, Pete Brock, Phil Remington, Dan Gurney, Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Phil Hill, the Shelby Cobra, Mustang GT350, Ford GT, and Daytona Coupe. It is part memoir, part racing history, and part behind-the-scenes look at the golden age of American sports car competition.

Why These Books Belong Together

Together, these books connect the Mustang’s broad production history with the Shelby racing world that helped turn select Mustangs into performance legends. The Complete Book of Ford Mustang provides the full Mustang timeline, while Inside Shelby American adds the human stories, shop-floor atmosphere, and racing culture behind the Shelby name.

This is an excellent bundle for readers who want both the complete Mustang reference and a deeper look at the Shelby American team that helped shape Ford performance history.
