That’s one huge coral of Ponies! In 54 ½ years, Ford’s produced ten million Mustangs which is an incredible achievement on all levels. As such, it is f the best-selling sports car in the US over the last 50 years, the #1 selling sports car in the world, yes, our Earth, for three years and there’s no end in sight.
The first Mustang with an official Vehicle Identification Number was a Wimbledon white 3-speed manual 164-horsepower V8 convertible. The 10 millionth ‘Stang is an homage to the first car and so is also a white convertible but with a 460-horsepower V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission.
The 2019 Mustang is a great automobile. Just last week, we were lucky enough to sample the new 2019 Bullitt in San Francisco. It’s safe to say that the Mustang’s still got it.
