      @Steve Silvas Brand whoring. Look what Ford did to Lincoln and Mercury for years: slap a chromey waterfall grille on the front and connect the tail lights at the rear with a red reflector strip between them and BAM ! a Mercury or a Lincoln.

      @Steve Silvas Though I am a Camaro guy at heart, the way I see it, this is not just a Ford/ Mustang defacing. This affects us all collectively as car lovers as a group. Competition between the Detroit big 3 makes us all great. THAT is what competition is all about. Slapping a Mustang Mach E badge on some half baked electric SUV cross over that other than some trim pieces, in NO WAY resembles the Mustang we all recognize. Even I have a favorite Mustang. Steve McQueen's green '68 fastback from the movie Bullitt. (and not one Mustang fan will argue the point with me. I loved that movie from the time I saw it when I was a kid and the bad guy drove the Charger... win, win for Mustang fans everywhere) Mustang fans need to let Ford know of your disapproval. I could live with a hybrid Mustang in it's true form but not with this electric porked out laughing stock. The anecdote "you can't put lipstick on a pig" keep popping into my mind... Peace out my Mustang friends and hang in there. Your GM and Mopar friends got your back on this one.

    I'm a Camaro guy so I should care less; "right?" WRONG! The resurgence of the Mustang brought the Camaro back from oblivion. Competition between the two have made them great. It even brought Chrysler back into the game and Dodge with the Hemi powered Challenger and the pony car has been reborn. Now we have a mid engine Corvette giving the super cars a run for their money. My point? It has been suggested that we are a dying breed with our high performance cars and our love for gas guzzling noisy speed. Is it true? In my opinion, not with the demand for our high performance beauties. But Ford is seemingly trying to attempt to bridge the gap with slapping a Mustang badge on some cross over electric SUV looking atrocity and by doing so is slapping the face of Mustang fans everywhere (yes my heart goes out to my Mustang brethren). This is a debauchery to the auto sport industry as a whole. This is our way of life. I love my '68 Camaro SS. But I also love my 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat. We have to band together and stand up to such tyranny. Social media folks. Facebook... Get the word out and save our favorite past time, sport and way of life. It affects ALL car lovers alike. It's not just a Ford thing friends.

      I've always found it interesting how there has remained such great bias and even blind hatred between Camaro and Mustang owners. They are both good, fun cars. I prefer the Firebird over both many years but I like them all. They are American Pony cars done the American way. Why don't the people like both and dislike the rival foreign cars instead of hating each other? It's the same with Chevrolet vs Ford pickup trucks. Is one a total pile of garbage and the other a flawless indestructible masterpiece as so many claim? Yeah right. They have both made some good vehicles and blunders and they exist to make money for the companies.

      You are one of the few that get it right about the Mustang II. Just for its front suspension, superior to EVERY Mustang that Ford ever produced (yes, including the various MacPherson strut setups over the years), the Mustang II should be lauded and mourned. Yes, it was unconscionably slow, but it was a product of its time. BTW, I like the Probe name idea.

    I agree with some of the list, but I always thought the 82 GT was the best looking fox body. The problem with the later 87-93 "Areo" nose fox is that it looked kind of like a girls car to me. Especially the coupe. Seeing Vanilla Ice rolling around in one certainly didn't help its image in my mind either. The front of the car just looks too friendly and nice like a puppy dog or something lol. I still like them, but growing up and seeing them everywhere on the streets kinda made the look boring and tired to me. The older foxes were harder to come by especially the GTs so to me they were more interesting.

    Ok, I’m going to fix your list. If you feel you MUST include a fox body, then it can be the 80-81 models. These years were not available with the 5.0 engine and were the weakest performance years. I would lean towards the non-Cobra, notchbacks.
    Now every other 4-eyed fox (I’m talking GTs here) starting from 82-86 is an 80s legend. The 82 being the first year of the GT and 5.0 HO and each successive year getting more powerful and better sorted. These cars brought performance back to the US, and kicked off the second muscle car era that continues to this day.
    Plus, many fox fans actually prefer the cleaner, less blunt looking lines of the 4 eye cars vs. the 87 and up aero.

A drunk driver took it out so after searching around I replaced it with a 73 convertible which I have owned for about 35 years. I do enjoy driving it. I swapped in a 4V Cleveland (4 bolt mains and all). And back around the turn of the century happened up a tripower manifold for it. (XE-151445).

    Sorry, but I liked the '71 to '73 coupes. The Grande was the preferred version of course, the only way to get the luxury interior shown in the video. That fastback roof window was impossible to live with here in Colorado. Start with the optical distortion that was factory supplied, then add the early morning frosts and many snowstorms. It was absolutely impossible to defrost and the large cold glass made the interior cold all winter. A 2bbl Cleveland 351, much better air conditioner and heating system, better power steering made the coupes exactly what the Mustang was good at. That is a comfortable daily driver. The Grande made another notable contribution, they provided the luxury interiors that ended up in so many convertible restorations!! I drove several Grandes over the years, waiting for the Mustang II and the 4 cylinder ones to die off. Today I have a 2013 and a 2014 convertible, with the top up, they still have the coupe profile and the PRACTICAL rear window for a nice daily driver. Thanks for the video!!!

Kept that till he was forced to put on his 4th set of rear tires and traded for a white, plain-Jane 69 Musdonkey fastback with an anemic 351W and hideous red interior for Mom while he went to Vietnam for his 3rd tour. When he got home, Dad went for the new 70 Mach I with both spoilers, shaker and window slats. This 351C seemed to have a helluva lot more balls and was able to actually spin the tires on rough pavement. Dad blew the engine on a quick trip to Virginia just to see how fast it would scoot on the interstate. Apparently 137 was the number just before the magic smoke escaped from the tailpipes (destroyed the rear main bearing). His final mustang was a 66 fastback with a 289 2v, 3-spd that he bought for me as a high school graduation present in 1974 from a Colonel who lived across the street from us in Germany. The Colonel had purchased the car new and was underneath it EVERY Saturday working or polishing something No power anything but one fun go kart to play and park in :)

(I do consider the fox's the cheapest of them all, what a junker with those doors). There was nothing wrong with the II's. They were not a pinto. The pinto had some engine weaknesses which nearly all econo cars had and they beat the vega and even a lot of the foreign competition at the time. The gas tank deal is a rare problem. They had a great chassis, rack and pinion and a v8 rearend was available. They fit a small block v8 easily although header room was pretty tight.

      Nothing like their legendary predecessors, but the Mustang II had its place. It was the 70s afterall, I still think its body styling was edgy and the King Cobra package was cool...for the 70s. Mustang fell apart in the early 80s.

    The Mustang II was probably one of the best designed although it had extreme lack of power. They had an extremely strong chassis and very adequate suspension. When re-powered, these are a real blast to drive. I've owned all generations and the only one I liked more is S550.

    Bravo! No arguments here. When I heard about the Mach E I first thought it was only a prototype name idea and not the final product. Found out I was wrong and I nearly exploded. The Mustang created a genre of sport cars, literally. I mean, it's a historical monument. Okay, sporty SUV's are kind of the rage right now. Jury is still out on how much an electric version can pull it off, but EVERYBODY is making them already (electric or not). The Mach E looks cool and competent and if they would've stopped with the Mach E name without Mustang who can really argue? I beg FORD to do like they did with the 500 and rebage it Taurus after the fact. Pony cars are two door personal sport cars - rear wheel drive, front engine. They were never meant to be everyone's car - or go everywhere. FORD this is blasphemous. Turn in your blue oval.

    Hey There!!!! I don't know how I stumbled across your video channel but I am glad that I did. After having reviewed your video -- twice -- I have 2 agree with your Mustang choices. I am an old "gearhead" and back in 1978 - 1981, there were at least 4 of us -- neighbors on the same street and around that block that owned a Mustang -- in high school -- while working @ the mall -- so we witness 1st hand , the evolution of the Mustang. My mother purchased a low mileage, slightly used, 1967 Mustang with an automatic -- coupe with a "289" v - 8 -- a mild performance carb -- medium (turtle) green exterior with black vinyl (HOT as he** during the summer) interior. 1 - driver side remote mirror -- A/C (4 the most part) power steering and a non tilt steering wheel. She purchased the vehicle from 1 of her older "country cousin" who owned his own gas station. My older brother was handed the keys 2 him in 1979 -- the year of his graduating from high school. I thought that the Mustang was pretty tame and slow until one evening, after my mother got off of work, 1 of her co - workers' gave her a ride home. This female co - worker had a red, 1965, "asthmatic" six cylinder Mustang with black interior, 1 driver's side, manual operated outside mirror and "push on" spinner hubcaps. A/C -- I can't remember but the vehicle was equipped with an automatic transmission. It was bland but hey -- it was reliable transportation. My father was a weekend golfer and on occasion he and 1 of his "homeboy's" from Galveston would compete in amateur tournaments. 1 weekend my father had to work the evening/night (I'm not sure which) shift and was not able 2 participate in a tournament that was being held down in Galveston, TX. Mr. Ward, my fathers golf partner, registered for the male "singles" as opposed 2 signing up 4 the "men's couple" as was the norm when he paired with my father. That weekend Mr. Ward won all of his rounds. The tournament played for 2 weekends down on the island and at the end of the tournament -- Mr. Ward was victorious. He had won a 1979 Ford Mustang hatchback. That vehicle was given 2 his 2nd daughter who, by the way, was heading 2 college that same year. I never saw that vehicle but from the way that my father described it, it would definitely get Mr. Ward's daughter through school and it did. That same year Mustang, the 1979, one of my brother's class mate had worked all summer at the local savings and loan and through his employer, was able 2 save enough 4 a down payment on a 1979 Ford Mustang GT -- automatic -- equipped with T - Tops and speed!!! That car took him through 4 years of school at the local college. He decided not 2 go off 2 school citing that after he graduated college he would be assigned an entry level management position at the savings and loan bank. Now it was my turn. I was working at the mall and 1 of my class mate who also lived on my street, he 2 had a summer job. When it was time for our class 2 return 2 school from summer vacation, my classmate/neighbor had saved up 2 purchase a red, 1972 Ford Mustang Grande -- red exterior with red interior and a white vinyl top -- of course automatic transmission. Me, I had saved my money 4 a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am. My parents had other plans. Oh, I got a GM vehicle alright -- it was a (sigh of disappointment) a 1980 P*O*S Buick Skylark Limited Coupe -- fabric/velour seats -- 2.8 V - 6 -- 173 c.i. -- front wheel drive -- half vinyl top -- A/C -- AM/FM Delco radio -- push on hubcaps and whitewalls!!! No sir -- not what I had saved up 4 -- and No sir -- NOT a babe/chick magnet!!!! It's not that I was ungrateful -- it's that the vehicle that I had saved up 4 -- at my age -- on my parent's insurance -- No way -- and my parents were clear about that. This was the 1st year of the front wheel drive for this Buick. The previous model year Buick was equipped with rear wheel drive. Remember the Mustang that my brother was rolling around in -- I offered 2 allow him 2 break in my "new ride" in exchange 4 the '67 Mustang UNTIL I graduated high school!!!! No dice. Later, down the line, karma came knocking. Before I graduated high school, on a rain slick day, while returning from his job, my brother avoided hitting a stray mutt with the Mustang and introduced the Mustang 2 a ditch and a tree. Having hitting the ditch 1st -- it slowed down the impact of the Mustang hitting the tree. Repairable damage was done 2 the front end of the Mustang but now my brother was on foot. It turns out, that the only reason that he was on that rain slick poorly lit road -- on that side of town -- he was pursuing a "skirt." The result of that accident had me, 4 a while, driving my brother around. According 2 my parents, it was something 2 do about "family." After the Mustang was repaired, my parents took my brother 2 an Oldsmobile dealership. There, off of the used car lot, they purchased 4 him, a pale green exterior, white interior, manual steering wheel, manual brakes, A/C, 1 outside (driver's side) manual mirror, automatic, 1974 Datsun (entry level) B210. Man, my P*O*S Buick looked nice parked next 2 that "import". As for the Mustang, the last time that the state of Texas inspected that vehicle, it was in 1996. By then, my mother had the vehicle repainted that "electric blue" paint color that is popular on those Subaru WRX's -- why that color -- I do not know. The vehicle is underneath a tandem carport -- uncovered -- under 2 inches (or more) of dust and dirt. All 4 tires are flat and if you were 2 take off your shoes and make an attempt 2 slide those shoes underneath the trunk of the car -- no can do. The gas tank is only inches from touching the slab of the carport. Apparently my mom just gave up on the vehicle and it is in such disarray that any effort at attempting 2 restore the vehicle would not be cost effective. There are no shortages of decent 1967 - 1968 Ford Mustang's. Now if the vehicle was say, a 1966 - 1968 Fastback, then I would have removed the vehicle from it's resting spot long ago. This past (20twenty) Juneteenth, I was at my folks place and the classmate/neighbor who owned the Mustang Grande in high school, it seems that every other week, he maintains his parent's yard. In exchange 4 keeping his 1966, red exterior, black interior, black convertible top, automatic, dual trumpet exhaust, GT trim package Mustang, in his parent's garage. I showed him cellphone photo's of my mother's Mustang and despite the horrible shape that it is in -- he might be -- when the time is right -- interested in purchasing the vehicle "as is -- where is." When I purchased my 1st Mustang back in 2007, there was a guy 40 miles north of my home, who had a "Charlie's (1977 Mustang II) Angels" Mustang that looked as though it came directly from the television series. But his asking price -- for a 4 cylinder coupe -- grey 2 door coupe with blue vinyl interior and the rims that the car had on appeared 2 have been sourced from a 1977 Ford Mustang Mach I. I instead purchased a 2007 Ford Mustang convertible with the GT appearance/performance package. It was a certified/pre - owned vehicle which simply means I did not have an option 2 purchase a 5 - speed. My 2nd Mustang purchase was the 2014 Shelby Cobra Convertible with a six - speed manual and all of the added options. Sure the Mustang has changed -- changed -- changed and eventually evolved 2 what it is today. Notice all of the after market tuners for the Mustang - Foose, Shelby and Saleen -- which buy the way, If I were able 2 locate a low mileage, convertible, factory direct - non - molested, triple black, convertible, 1988 Saleen Mustang, I would trade my 2007 convertible for the Saleen -- in a heartbeat!! With the fall and the rise of the Mustang, 1 thing that you can say about the Mustang -- it never went away. Unlike the Camaro, Challenger, the short lived (Australian) GTO, Viper, Supra, NSX -- all of which at 1 point have gone away and come back -- some. The Vette and the Mustang both though differ in their approach but both have remained -- through good and or bad times during their lifetime.

      This was an attempt by car makers to comply with tougher emissions standards before they had any real technology to do so. Some engines were simply de-tuned too much, others had too much power-robbing emissions stuff bolted to them. They were all engines built without the emissions engineering designed into them. That didn't really start on a large scale until the '80s.
