1968-1970 Ford Mustang

  The 1968-1970 Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford Motor Company, and also the introduction of the Mustang created a new class of car known as a pony car. The Ford Mustang was designed by Gale Halderman and was produced from July 1968 till June 1970.  The Mustang was assembled in various places such as Dearborn, Michigan, Milpitas, California, Metuchen, New Jersey, Valencia, Venezuela, and Mexico City, Mexico. As for the bodystyle and the chassis the Ford Mustang came in three different styles the first one was a 2-door hardtop. The second one was a 2-door fastback which was one of the most popular one, and the third one was a 2-door convertible. And then there was the special and rare model was the Shelby. As for the engine and transmission the Ford Mustang had multiple different types of engines going from a 200 cu in 3.3L Thriftpower I6 to a 429 cu in 7.0L Boss V8. And the transmissions were a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, and a 3-speed automatic. The 1968-1970 Ford Mustangs were built for racing in NASCAR and were created to meet the Trans Am rules and regulations. The reason on why I chose this car for my blog is because this is one of the coolest Mustangs that I have ever seen Ford build, and also im not really a Mustang person. Meaning if I was given the option of choosing a Mustang or Camaro I would have to go with the Camaro. So the reason why I like this Mustang is because of the shape of the body with its air scoop and the NASCAR-style cable pin tiedowns on the hood and the wood trimmed dashboard and steering wheel.
