Customer Reviews

Good coffee table book4
If you are a Mustang fun then this is a great choice for a coffee table book with plenty of pictures, especially of the earlier models. It is lacking in the field of specialized descriptions so if you want that you should consider some other options. But for a simple reference book and a great coffee table addition this would be the right choice

Just a big book!4
Even though I liked this book it was a bit overkill.Its got a lot of rare Mustangs in it and they are big photos too.This is just a big coffee table book.Yeah,its got plenty of photos,most in colour but a little light on text.The author's book that was published by "Motorbooks International" is a great book.Thats the quality this book should have been.

This book is printed on average quality paper.It lets it down a fair bit.For what it is,its a reasonable book but there are better books even by this author.Some people will be pleased with this book.

The Ultimate Pony Car Book5
This book is everything you ever wanted to know about Mustangs, including the pre-history (what Ford sports cars led up to the development of the original "64 1/2" Mustang). It tells the complete story of every Mustang model ever made, even the regional one like the "California Special". It also covers every "Hypo" model Shelby made. The title says it's forty years of Mustang history and it doesn't lie. This is the most complete version of the Mustang story I've ever seen in one book.
