Ford offered a Tilt-Away steering wheel, built in heater/AC, overhead console, Stereo-Sonic tape system, automatic transmission, bench seats, AM/FM radio, speel ontril, and front power disc breadks.

2. 2 year or 24,000-mile warranty on the entire car.

• Mustang Red Book Early 1965-1995 features Mustangs of all production models from 1965 through 1995.
• Mustang Red Book 1964 1/2-2000 features Mustangs and Shelby Mustangs between the years 1964 1/2 and 2000.
• Mustang Red Book features Mustang models through 2004.

Many people prefer to have all three editions (even four if you can find the fourth edition) of the Mustand Red Book.

The books not only helps you determine authenticity and originality the the modal sitting in your driveway, but it provides you with helpful facts about Mustand from the earliest model to the most current to the edition.

• The most important number in any Mustang is the VIN, or serial number, which from 1965-1980 is an 11-digit number that breaks down the model year, assembly plant, body code, engine code, and consecutive unit number.
• Ford attached a stamped plate, usually under one of the coil hold-down bolts, supplying the engine information.
• There is additional information such as the consecutive unit number and optional codes on a riveted underhood plate. Sometimes the location can vary by car model and year, but you may find it behind the headlights on the radiator support, near the right side hood hinge, or on the sides of the engine compartment.

The Mustang Monthly magazine is a great source of information for all Mustang models and years. With each magazine, you'll find different 'How To's' in restoration, historical facts, club directories, show information, and maintenance tips.

The magazine not only features new and upcoming Mustangs, but vintage Mustangs, as well.
