Ford Mustang I y Shelby Mustang: libros - historia, modelos y técnica

Der erste Ford Mustang, der 1964 vom Band rollte, war ein weisses Cabriolet mit rotem Interieur. Die amerikanische Legende, Ahnherr der nach ihm benannten "Pony Cars", ist also mittlerweile über 50 Jahre alt. Für ein Pkw-Modell ein wahrhaft hohes Alter, das allein schon Beweis genug für seinen auch wirtschaftlichen Erfolg ist.

Aber so alt werden Autos auch nicht, wenn sie es nicht schaffen, mit der Zeit zu gehen, stets jung und aktuell zu bleiben. Das bedingt zahlreiche technische Verbesserungen und mehrfache Generationswechsel. Mehr als genug Stoff also für diesen Modellkompass von Matthias Gerst zu einem ganz besonderen Fahrzeug.

Ce livre sur la Mustang n'est semblable à aucun autre. Apportant aux détails et à la précision historique une attention extrême, ce volumineux ouvrage comporte la description de chaque version de Mustang de série, de compétition ou prototype, depuis le premier modèle de 1964 1/2 jusqu'à nos jours.

Réalisé en collaboration avec Ford Motor Company et richement illustré de documents provenant des archives Ford, cet album offre photos, explications et caractéristiques techniques de tous les modèles depuis 1964 1/2. Nouvelle édition.

Icône de l'Amérique, la Ford Mustang fait rêver le monde entier depuis 1964. En six générations, cette automobile mythique n'a jamais rien perdu de son aura. Symbole de liberté et de modernité, la Mustang est reconnaissable à son logo, un cheval au galop. Il résume parfaitement l'identité Mustang : une soif de liberté qui ne connaît aucune limite.

En 208 pages au travers d'une riche iconographie et de documents rares, Mustang Passion explore les plus beaux modèles de Mustang, les plus mythiques aussi. Ouvrage destiné aux néophytes comme aux passionnés, il ravira autant ceux qui possèdent déjà une Mustang que ceux qui rêvent d'en avoir une ou simplement de traverser l'Amérique à son volant.

No one anticipated quite how thoroughly the Ford Mustang would catch the imagination of the American public. The Mustang was marketed as the all-American classic and introduced what became known as the 'Pony Car' - an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image - and a revolutionary example of automotive design in the United States.
The company made over a billion dollars selling over 400,000 units in its debut year.

It took only eighteen months for Ford to hit the million Mustang mark, making it Ford's most successful launch since the Model A. Today's car sales don't even scratch the number of Mustangs sold in their first year. In over fifty years of production, Ford has sold 9 million Mustangs worldwide.

This book focuses on the first generation (1964-73) and the evolution of the Ford Mustang. This was an era when Mustang became synonymous with the name Ford and set an unprecedented benchmark for all rivals to follow. Its popularity was an emotional connection based on its unique and adaptable styling, its performance and its affordability.

A guide with facts, figures and features of Shelby's legendary Mustangs, built between 1965 and 1970.

Examine the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with this detailed look at the car's launch, history, and unique parts options, including powerplants from the big-block Cobra Jet to the small-block Windsor.
By the time the 1969 model year rolled around, it was well established that muscle cars were fast and plentiful. Every manufacturer had at least one corner of the showroom where the "go fast" guys could congregate and discuss the merits and time slips of the latest performance offerings.

Competition being what it was, the manufacturers were looking for ways to entice potential buyers to choose their product over ever-increasing offerings from the competition. Some manufacturers tried to accomplish this with affordable prices, some tried fancy marketing schemes, and some created a look and a style that screamed "performance" even when standing still.
The 1969 Mach I was Ford's attempt to create a package and a style to match the performance of its recently released and very potent 428-ci Cobra Jet engine package. Displacing the still-available but more conservative GT trim, the Mach I included unique graphics and mechanical innovations, such as a shaker hood scoop, dual racing mirrors, deluxe interior, competition suspension, dual chrome exhaust tips, and a blacked-out hood.
The result was a wildly popular model that sold more than 70,000 units, compared to slightly more than 5,000 GT models for the year.

Each volume in the In Detail series provides an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, and an examination of where the car is on the market today. Also included are paint and option codes, VIN and build tag decoders, as well as production numbers.

Not to be outdone by Chrysler, Ford had to build and field its own race-duty big-block to compete with the 426 Hemi in drag and stock car racing. In competition trim, the Boss 429 powered Ford and Mercury stock cars to victory in Nascar and the Mustang to many wins in drag racing.

With this exclusive racing pedigree, the Boss 429 is among the most valuable and rare Mustangs ever built.The project was the brainchild of Bunkie Knudsen, noted stylist Larry Shinoda, and other talented Ford personnel. The semi-hemi Boss 429 was so large, it couldn't fit in the small Mustang, so Kar-Kraft, a specialty car builder, had to shoehorn the engine into the compact Mustang fastback.

Author Dan Burrill collaborated with Boss 429 expert Denny Aldridge to give you the straight story on the car, its special equipment, 429 engine, 4-speed Toploader transmission, interior appointments, paint codes, and options.
Also featured is the exciting story of developing this monumental engine, engineering the components and parts to fit the engine and chassis, and assembling the cars.

All In Detail Series books include an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, and an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, as well as an examination of where the car is on the market today.
Also included is an appendix of paint and option codes, VIN and build-tag decoders, as well as production numbers.

When Ford wanted to toughen up its super-successful new Mustang, they approached Carroll Shelby to give it the performance image it so sorely lacked. Beginning with a 1965 "K-Code" 289-cubic-inch-powered Mustang fastback, Shelby applied the same formula that had made his Cobra sports cars such devastating performers both on and off the track: more horsepower, less weight, balanced handling.

The GT350 quickly established itself as a bonafide force in SCCA B-Production racing, twisting back roads, and boulevards alike - setting the course for future Shelby Mustangs, like the big-block GT500.
Though those original Shelby Mustangs were done by 1970, Ford dusted off its Shelby relationship in 2006 and has been producing high-performance Ford Mustang Shelbys ever since.

"Shelby Mustang" details the entire story of these fantastic cars, from the early prototypes built in Shelby's Los Angeles shop to today's Ford-engineered high-tech performers.
Written by one of the world's foremost authorities on Shelby automobiles, critically acclaimed author Colin Comer, and with a foreword by Lee Iacocca, the American automobile executive credited with the successful development of the Mustang, this is the definitive account of the Shelby.

This volume of CarTech's Muscle Cars In Detail series covers the 1968 Shelby GT350, GT500, and GT500 KR. In 1968, Ford sought to take over much of the process of producing Shelby Mustangs and increased that production dramatically to meet anticipated sales demand, so it was a bit of a transition year.

In an effort to appeal to muscle car fans rather than race fans, the cars were losing their edgy race car feel and were becoming more high-end performance road cars with a long list of performance and comfort options including 428 Cobra Jet engines, automatic transmissions, and air conditioning.
They may have no longer been sports cars, but they were now fantastic muscle cars.

Each volume in the In Detail Series provides an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, and an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, as well as an examination of where the car is on the market today.
Also included are paint and option codes, VIN and build tag decoders, as well as production numbers.

Ford's "Total Performance" racing program in the early 1960s was the first stone turned in the task of repurposing its image to the youth market. The introduction of the Mustang increased that exponentially, but even in 289 Hi-Po form, it was no match for the Pontiac GTO or other muscle cars. Neither was the 1966 Fairlane GT or subsequent 390 Mustang the following year.

But when the 428 Cobra Jet Mustang debuted at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals in 1968, that image evolved from wholesome to fearsome!
Cobra Jet Mustangs downed all comers and took the vaunted Super Stock Eliminator crown while introducing a new weapon under the hood. By the next model year with the revolutionary shaker hood on Cobra Jet-equipped Mach Is and the striking snake adorning the sheet metal of the midsize Cobra, Ford's image makeover was complete.
The demise of the muscle car era didn't signify the end of the Cobra Jet, as Ford continued the performance reign with the 351 Cobra Jet.

The legacy left by Mustang, Cougar, Torino, Cyclone, and Ranchero 428, 429, and 351 Cobra Jet-powered vehicles is indelible. Mustang Monthly editor Rob Kinnan and muscle car expert Diego Rosenberg bring this history back to life in an all-encompassing book that is the first to specifically feature all Cobra Jet cars, including the purpose-built drag cars of today!
"Cobra Jet: The History of Ford's Greatest High Performance Cars" will hypnotize you as the first and complete history of Ford's most famous engines during the era's peak.
