This is the first full breakdown video of the history behind a car, so let me know if you would like to see more videos with this format that display other, cars, manufacturers, racing teams, etc.

[@frankyo2216]

The history of the Ford F-150, Nissan GT-R or any dead auto manufacturer i.e. Plymouth, Pontiac, AMC, would be awesome or the history of any F1 racing team would be great also 👍

[@AntsCarReviews]

@@frankyo2216 Thanks for the video ides, I will keep them mind and do some research!

[@johndaltroff2241]

You skipped the 1971 thru 1973 larger sized mustangs. I had a mach 1 red and black ram air version which was gorgeous.

[@Dalhax]

I really liked the video. It was really well put together. I own the s197 and love it. Makes me smile every time i drive it or just look at it.

[@barryklinedinst6233]

We have a 16 gt premium. It's our third stang. I'm addicted to them

[@wagdaddyandef9man]

Love my 65 fastback. Orginal cali car assembled at the San Jose plant back in 64&1/2

[@AntsCarReviews]

That is awesome! Amazing that you still have it.

[@summertimedance]

bought a 2003 svt terminator cobra new the fact that I still have it 20 years later says it all !!!!!!

[@mikewatch1487]

You skipped right over Shelby return to ford with the Hertz GT H in 2006. Only 500 were made. Very collectible today.

[@ike789125]

great talking points on the 2005-2009. I picked up my 05 about 2.5 years ago after lusting after it since the unveiling. went with the 6 over the 8 for the reduced weight plus i wasn't looking to annoy my neighbors 3 of which also have 6-shooters 😆. makes plenty of noise when i step into the pedal but those sounds are for me haha and shes quick enough to leave everyone else standing still in traffic. best car....everr

[@johnwalbridge2430]

Having grown up in Allen Park Michigan I have to share that the design group was growing more frustrated with less time to come up with a “sporty” car that fit on The Falcon platform. Lee Iacocca took the entire group of designers to a bar on the East Side of Dearborn, almost in Detroit, where the beer is cold, the burgers good and all is served by pretty women wearing nothing but fishnet and high heels. Legend has it the car was conceived that day on cocktail napkins. The name of the bar? The Mustang Lounge.

[@digitalwitness77]

I love my New Edge Mustang, they all were nice. The Mustang II wasn't all bad, larger engine was needed, but only other issue I didn't like were the taillights.

[@Island-RC]

Day 110 of killing time waiting for warranty parts to drive it again. One cool thing about the s550 v6 is that it made full-rated hp on 87 gas vs 91 for the eco boost and gt to get their full power. 2v and 3v owners will always say their car sounds better than, but we can all agree the gt350r is special.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Who remembers the saleen and roush editions of the s197

[@frankyo2216]

This was awesome! I personally own a 2015 S550 so this was great to see!

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thanks for the support! :)

[@garagemdobataus]

For me, the Mustang was dead from 1969 until 1995, when the model once again resumed a more pleasant appearance in keeping with its legacy.

[@andrewverrett568]

New edge is one of my favorite looking mustangs. Clean sleek edges but also curvy edges. And still small. It's crazy how we don't have pony cars anymore. Just boats with a stupid amount of horsepower.

[@sh4nsei159]

amazing video, first mustang was a 1997, second (current) is a 2000, and cant wait to buy another.

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thanks for the support!

[@nerissacrawford8017]

I'm with you on the 5th gen. It makes me *feel* something.

[@mariemccann5895]

Excellent video, really informative. Thanks for posting.

[@ilc-nl3yy]

Great video, and I hope you build up this channel, so you can buy that 2014 Shelby GT500.

[@wiiambarnarx8485]

I disagree about the Mustang 2. Those body styles were based on the very first Mustang sold. That's what they should have looked like. The original was a pony car dont forget. I myself love the big V8 sporty Mustangs too but those small Mustangs were based on the original pony cars and I thought they were awesome looking little cars.

[@IDPhotoMan]

The Mustang 2 saved the Mustang. Yep, they went back to the original Ponycar. Very similar in weight and dimensions.

[@Pb_salt]

Great vid man ! Came to yt looking for mustang history and definitely got it

[@chasemcm]

I’ve had my 2009 4.6L GT CS for 1 year 😍🔥

[@upshotMusicTV]

Great video! Thanks for making it

[@callforarchives]

27:20 Shelby made another V6 mustang, very similar to the CS6, called the Terlingua. It was a track focused package, with a supercharger and an angry rabbit logo!

[@AntsCarReviews]

Oh wow nice, first time I've heard of that. Looks awesome!

[@ninalli]

Thankyou for a great review.

[@AGBULLIT]

Great job summing up the history of the Mustang. What do you think of the 2024 Mustang? I will check your other videos.

[@AntsCarReviews]

I think Ford did a great job with the new S650 design!

[@davidroudebush6947]

Just got my first mustang, it’s an ecoboost but I love it

[@AntsCarReviews]

Congrats!

[@xray111xxx]

Mustang II is not the worst Mustang sold, and it did have a weak V8 302 at 139 HP. 1.1 million of these sold totally. Without the Mustang II you would not have the Mustangs today. It still is kicking in racing and NHRA and more, and all the Hot Rodders use the front end and the shell of the Mustang II.

[@andrewverrett568]

What do you think the worst is? I think the Era between the foxbody and new edge was pretty bad. Kinda looked like new edges but way uglier and only had like 260 horsepower. Like a 1993 mustang gt. The ugly older sister of the new edge mustangs. Just my opinion. They didn't have the looks or the power. At least the mustang 2 looked pretty decent

[@marksarvey9220]

Maybe make some videos of some of the concepts also.

[@1964FordMustang]

Great documentary- thanks

[@alnfong1228]

Great video, thanks man!!

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thanks for the support!

[@andrewverrett568]

I love the s197 stangs. I think they look the most old school out off any mustang since the 70s

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Don't forget Pontiac bringing back the GTO that eventually died again... mustang has outlived them all

[@jameshuseby6290]

Yes definitely love 💕😘 the longer format keep up the 😃👍 great work!

[@lightammo4301]

Thanks man for thihs video its very informative

[@AntsCarReviews]

Glad you enjoyed! :)

[@timwilliams113]

Very good video

[@ernielaw]

You did mention Carrol Shelby's life ended in May 2012. He must have been around Lee Iacocca's age. I knew Lee Iacocca retired long ago, but is he still alive?

[@OriginalMotorCar]

Great research for most of this video. You mentioned, however, when talking about the retro styled mid 2000s Mustang, that the PT Cruiser was an absolute failure. That’s actually not at all the case. People don’t seem to like the styling anymore, but Chrysler sold over 100,000 PTs for 6 straight years. I know people in the mid 2000 that actually owned multiple at the same time because they loved them so much! It’s fallen out of fashion, but the PT was a HUGE win for Chrysler.

[@craighorner9386]

All is good but you left out a one year model the 1995 Mustang GTS which was Ford’s reincarnation of the Fox Body 5.0 LX

[@everthingworld1437]

Yhis is a great documentry!!

[@realBA]

Good job bro 👍

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thank you for the support!

[@andrewverrett568]

Terminator, and boss 429 and the original mach 1 are my top 3 mustangs ever made. The original gt350 and gt500 were good too

[@AntsCarReviews]

That's a great top 3!!

[@lisasmith9311]

Most people don't realize the Ford Mustang horse was first made by Bill Swan at international fiberglass,he first drew out a scetch and they loved it so he made it out of fiberglass weighing 74 pounds and Ford paid Bill 100 for it plus Edsel wrote him a Thank you card and this is the exact Ford the emblem was copied from from the man who made the emblem also worked at Ford so he got full credit. Mustang can be seen on his Facebook page and is family has it now

[@tonypence0602]

No mention of the 99-04 “New Edge” with the PI 4.6L. Even though officially considered a SN-95, it is different in many ways.

[@AntsCarReviews]

18:55 - 22:25 I talk about the New Edge

[@tonypence0602]

@@AntsCarReviews I'm sorry. I don't know how I missed this. I enjoyed the video. Very cool.

[@andrewverrett568]

The new edges drive trains were definitely different than the 94 model's. Idk why you think they arent. Different heads, crankshafts, rear ends, trans, different injectors. Just alot better in general.

[@cryptosully2357]

what mustang engines where a 4 bolt main

[@ThatLittleOrangeFord]

To be honest in my opinion the ford mustang grew from the ford falcon sprint both cars had the exact same chassis until 1973 even though lee iacocca said he doesn’t like the falcon most of the idea of a sporty car started with the falcon they were the first compact car of the 60s then chevy came out with the corvair, ect.

[@enginenut5]

I, very well, remember the intro of the '64 1/2. Loved the looks compared to the early '60s Fords. I tested the waters with a '79 Fox chassis with the turbo, disappointing mechanically. Turbo was in it's infancy, but tranny was full of H2O from the factory, rear end died, interior was a joke. My '08 GT/CS is true to the breed and is a keeper, still love it. Just got word today, my '24 S650 is on the train to my dealer!

[@AntsCarReviews]

Awesome! Congrats on the new one!

[@enginenut5]

@@AntsCarReviews Thanks, guy! Great video, I might add!

[@kennethale]

I can see that your favoritism against echoboost shines well

[@purpleturtle8841]

That's impressive because in the 60s, £2,500 was roughly $7,000.

[@jaustill237]

Adjusting for inflation, it's 69K in 2023.

[@andrewverrett568]

The roush s197 are so clean looking. So beautiful. Better looking than the saleen versions. Its one of my favorite looking mustangs ever. Google 2006 roush stage 3 mustang gt

[@IDPhotoMan]

Great video, but you might mention that there really is no such thing as a "64-1/2". All 64/65 Mustangs are titled as 1965 models. Yes, early mustangs had a few parts differences, like engines, generators, etc... I've owned a '65 since the 80's. Yeah, maybe it's nit-picking, but it is what it is.

[@josedelarosa6449]

2010 gt500 had a boost up in power from 500 hp to 540hp. 2011 went up by 10 more hp.

[@rward393]

Ford played a great card when they produced a right hand drive for the UK, it has been a hit, the S550 attracts lots of admiration from other drivers and the public , and yes i ordered a brand new one in 2018 a 5.0L V8 which is a fantastic car .

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I thought the 3 valve 4.6 did well on power. I test drove a 2005 GT manual, and it would get up and go! The only thing I didn't care for was the shifter. It just didn't feel good in my hand, and was hard to get a grip on.

[@Iconhulk]

Ford needs to bring back The Probe.. The Fusion has been hideous since 2013..

[@Iconhulk]

Thunderbird w/ Supercharger Sick!!!

[@jacobwillman3779]

The Windsor was a 351 but you keep mentioning Windsor as a 302

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Shelby had nothing to do with the Cobra II. That was a project of former Pontiac ad man Jim Wangers. It was an appearance package. Ford took it over from Wangers' company.

[@SouthernCarGuru]

Yeap I'm a proud owner of a black 2009 45th anniversary with 104k I've named her black stallion working on getting stickers so I can put her name on the rear glass and the front glass. Working on getting a 2008 40th anniversary GT500 and if I get it I'ma name it mid evil

Excuse me sir.! The Ford Probe not actually made by Ford but by Mazda. Just FYI.!

[@ernielaw]

A joint venture

[@oldarkie3880]

The corvair is NOT mid engine, it is rear engine like a VW

[@maureencora1]

What Do You Think of the 2024 Mustang?

[@joanstehlik235]

First v8 was 260 then 289.🤔

[@garycrawley341]

The Ford Probe sounds very uncomfortable.(old joke).

[@AntsCarReviews]

LOL!

[@adamrobinson8673]

You forgot the 1971 big horse mustang.

[@timsalomons8527]

This guy got his generations wrong n no mention of 1971 to 73 mustangs

[@gerrywood3584]

260😊

[@ingrampowell9111]

Iaccoca did not conceive the Mustang. His contribution was to insist on the addition of rear seats to an already existing SWB prototype which, though prettier, was transformed into a practical selling proposition by Iaccoca's modification. Your assessment of the 289 Mustang is incorrect (and Ken Miles knew better than his ridiculous lines in "Ford v Ferrari"!). The 289 Hi-Po was certainly an enthusiast car in the context of 1964-1/2 Yank tanks, slotting between two Chevelle SS 327s in power output but a much better handler than Chevrolet's intermediate cruiser. And this was before Shelby touched it!. BTW, the 1967/68 cars, being almost identical, were no larger. Ford accommodated the big-block engine by relocating the shock towers.

The 1967 /68 GT Fastback is the Greatest Mustang.

Hahahah nice lol

[@shafferjoe1962]

Did I miss the 71-73 mustang. No, I did not, you skipped right over them. The true ugly ducking of the mustang. No one talks about them and you don't see them any where. The mustang II is better looking and also saved the mustang from getting chopped from the line up.

[@josepandal4660]
