Ford Mustang

The Mustang is the world's first "pony car", a smaller version of the muscle car. It was originally introduced as an aerodynamic sports car concept in 1962 but was later changed to a performance sedan based on the Falcon. It notably competed in the Trans Am Series. It was also used in the IMSA GT Championship. It is used in the Michelin Pilot Challenge and World Challenge. There was a performance edition based on the Shelby Cobra. Shelby also created his own versions, the GT350 and GT500. It is insisted that they are not Mustangs. In 1969 a special Boss edition was created, using sixties slang for cool. The Boss 302 competed in the Trans Am Series, as it had the five liter maximum displacement. The name was revived decades later after the Mustang was redesigned with a retro-inspired bodystyle. There was also the seven liter Boss 429. After the Oil Crisis of 1973 killed the muscle car, the infamous Mustang II was introduced.
