Mustang Models You'll Want to Know

WESTLAND, Mich.–– If the purr of an engine, the smell of burning rubber, or feeling of the pedal to the floor excites you then you'll want to know the Ford Mustang. The Mustang is an iconic muscle car built all-american by an iconic car company. We're here to help you with all your Mustang needs, so we've highlighted the Mustang models you'll want to know.

The first generation Mustang was born out of the mid 60's, 1962, where Ford catered to the Baby Boomers' vehicle desires. The first Mustang rolled off the assembly line on March 9th, 1964 and the first round of production is lovingly nicknamed 64 1/2 while the second round of production that started August 17th are technically 1965's. The 64 1/2 had a chrome grille, carpeting throughout the interior, standard front bucket seats, and was available in 3-speed, 4-speed, or automatic with 3 engine options reaching a max 210 Horsepower. Much has changed since then as you can see by the model specs below.

V6

Engine: 3.7L 

Horsepower: 300

EPA Estimate: 17 city/28 hwy

Drivetrain: RWD 

EcoBoost

Engine: 2.3L 

Horsepower: 310

Features on the Mustang like the front-fascia vertical slots give this Pony car a closer-to-the-body airflow which minimizes drag. Interior touches like the sporty driver's seat and adjustable steering wheel provides an addictive and personalized driver experience. Technology won't go unnoticed in Ford vehicles, especially not the Mustang with SYNC, steering wheel controls, and the color touch screen. Safety features and driver-assist technologies like Blind Spot Information System, collision warning with brake support, and cross traffic alert also make for an unforgettable and safe experience. 

The Mustang is an amazing and classic muscle car ready for customizations tailored to your taste. We're here to help you with all your mustang needs including showing you Mustang models you'll want to know. We have great base models in our Mustang Corral, but we also provide the ultimate Roush experience.

We can help you find the perfect vehicle for your wants and needs.

2016 Ford Mustang GT350 Spotted

WESTLAND, Mich. - One of the world's most popular vehicles, the Ford Mustang is one that is always being watched and admired. Recently, fans of the pony vehicle have spotted a camouflaged Ford Mustang out and about in the streets. However, this isn't just any Mustang, as it's believed that the 2016 Ford Mustang GT350 has been spotted.

Rumors have suggested in the past couple of weeks that Ford will be replacing the GT500 with the GT350 model for the next generation Mustang. The beefy wheels and tires, large disc brakes, extra air inlets and various other identifiers help support this rumor, proving that there might quite a bit of truth behind all the gossip.

Because this is a prototype, not much can be said about the specifications or design of the 2016 Mustang just yet. However, Ford's 5.9L naturally aspirated V8 engine is the most obvious pick for the vehicle. We won't know anything for sure until more time has passed, or until we see the finished result when it is released sometime in 2015.

If you'd like to discuss what modifications the 2016 Ford Mustang GT350 will most likely undergo, or even check out the current Mustang model, stop by our Ann Arbor Area Ford Dealer today! We have a great selection of Ford Mustangs, both new and used, so come by and we'll set you up with a test drive - but be warned: you're going to love driving a Mustang!
