The 1965 Mustang was the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Ford originally planned to sell 100,000 Mustangs in 1965 and ended up selling nearly seven times that figure. What made the Mustang such a huge seller in 1965?

    I have another question I’d like to add. Why do the small engine options continue to sell? Who the heck are buying the turbo I4 when you could buy the 5.0 V8? I feel like if you want a small displacement RWD sports coupe, you’d look for something like a Nissan 350z.

      I have a turbo 4. 325hp and 25mpg gives me the best of both worlds. It’s faster than any old GT I’ve ever had.
