I don't know my mustang gens/ year changes too well. Thanks
very easy...
1st gen - 1964.5 - 1973 this is the classic mustang that everybody wants (especially 67 & 68 and in fastback )
2nd gen - 1974 - 1978 this is the "Mustang II" one of ford's biggest mistakes, basically worthless, nobody wants one of these
3rd gen - 1979 - 1993 this is the fox body. and well who doesn't want to go rollin' in a 5.0, With the ragtop down so your hair can blow?
4th gen - 1994 - 2004 this is the curvier SN-95 body that brought us the Ford modular motor, and then borrowed and massaged the mark motor, then gave us the bullet proof blown terminator.
5th gen - 2005 - 2014 this is the S-197 or the retro mustang with its stupid three valve was was quickly replaced with the beautiful 5.0 coyote
6th gen - 2015 - ???? the new bad boy on the block, welcome back IRS (lets hope this is better than the last IRS attempt) and the return of a turbo 4 banger
basically like the corvette you usually get a new chassis about every decade. sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less...
fun fact* the higher gas prices in the 80s caused ford to redesign and make the mustang smaller and more fuel efficient, they basically wanted to replace the mustang with a little FWD mazda, people started to write in to ford bitching so they canceled those plans and just called it the ford probe. something tells me that if they would have done this, we probably wouldn't have any mustangs today... just more vanilla econoboxes that lack excitement.
