Inside the book
2 Book Box Set
The Ford Mustang has been a road racing favorite since its launch in April 1964. This two-book set covers everything from production-based racing history to the gritty details of buying a first-generation pony car. You get a technical breakdown of 1964β1973 models alongside a photographic history of international competition. Having both on your workbench helps you spot red flags during a purchase or identify authentic period details for a restoration project.
Book 1 of 2
This guide covers the first-generation Ford Mustang from 1964 to 1973. The author uses restoration experience to explain the strengths, weaknesses, and quirks of these original pony cars.
You can assess a potential purchase by looking at model variations, popular upgrades, and current market realities. Each section helps you identify red flags in bodywork, trim, and engine condition.
The book covers paperwork and specifications to help you find a show-ready example or a rewarding restoration project.
Book 2 of 2
The Ford Mustang competed in the SCCA Trans-Am series, the Tour de France, and various regional and national A/Sedan competitions. This book focuses on production-based cars rather than the tube-frame silhouette machines of the late 1970s.
It features big-budget factory-supported cars and low-buck independents from the Trans-Am series. The book uses period images, including many photos that have never been published before.
These images show the global popularity of the Mustang in Great Britain, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It is a photographic history of the car's road racing pedigree.
