Inside the book
2 Book Box Set
Over a million Ford Mustangs sold in just the first two years of production. This two-book set covers the first generation from 1964-1/2 to 1973. The first book helps you spot red flags and verify specifications when buying a pony car. The second book walks you through the actual restoration process from disassembly to reassembly. Having both on your workbench means you can source a solid project and actually finish the build.
