Introduction: The fourth generation Mustang would keep soldiering on its outdated Fox platform, until it was the last Pony car standing.
1994 Ford Mustang
Comments: The Mustang debuted with an all new body for 1994, but was still based on the old Fox platform. The wheelbase grew 0.8 inches to 101.3 inches, while the front and rear track increased on the GT. Four wheel disc brakes were standard, with anti-lock brakes optional on both the GT and the base model car. The base car was now powered by a new 3.8 liter V6 which replaced the previous 2.3 I4. Using a number of aluminum components, it was almost as light as the much smaller four cylinder engine. The 5.0 V8 was given better breathing and output increased to 215 bhp. A five speed manual transmission was standard, and a four speed automatic was optional for both engines. Traction-Lok was also available. In pursuit of greater structural rigidity, the hatchback model was dropped, leaving only the two door coupe and convertible. The coupe's roof line was designed to resemble a hardtop option for the convertible that was never produced. At the top was a new Cobra model with a 245 bhp version of the 5.0 V8. Once again, the Mustang was chosen to be the pace car at the Indy 500, and approximately 1,000 replica models were sold. Much more limited were the 250 Cobra R models sold by Ford's SVT unit. These were delivered without air conditioning, radio, and much of the insulation, and were designed to be sold to race car drivers. Quite a few ended up on the streets, however.
Engines: 3.8 liter V6 145 bhp. 5.0 liter V8 HO 225 bhp. Cobra: 5.0 liter V8 HO 245 bhp.
Performance: Cobra: 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.5 seconds @ 98.0 mph.
[size=2] 1995 Ford Mustang
Comments: Ford tightened the reins on the Cobra R for 1995, requiring buyers to show a competition license in order to buy one. Available only in Crystal White, Cobra R models came a racing fuel cell and a special engine cooling package, but with no power windows, insultation, radio, or back seat. Buyers were expected to install their own competition racing seats within their own roll cages. Delivery weight was a mere 3,325 lbs. The biggest news was that the engine had been prepped by Jack Roush Technologies. The 351 Windsor V8 was rated at a stout 300 bhp and all Cobra Rs received a Tremec five speed manual transmission, a final drive ratio of 3.27:1, a revised suspension, and P255/45R17 BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires mounted on huge 17"x9.0" wheels.
Lessor Mustangs continued with either the 3.8 V6 or the 5.0 V8. 1995 would be the last year of the fabled "5.0" V8.
Production: 137,074
Engines: 3.8 liter V6 145 bhp. 5.0 liter V8 HO 225 bhp. Cobra: 5.0 liter V8 HO 245 bhp.
Performance: Cobra: 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.5 seconds @ 98.0 mph.
[size=2] 1996 Ford Mustang
Comments: The 5.0 liter V8 that had been a Mustang trademark for over 20 years was finally discontinued (although it would still live on in the Ford Explorer SUV). In its place was a much more modern 4.6 liter V8 rated at the same 225 bhp. The 3.8 liter V6 carryover from the year before. The Mustang Cobra received a heavily massaged and completely modern 4.6 V8 that was rated at a stout 305 bhp. Cobra's also received Ford's "Mystic" paint which looked black in dim light, but changed to different colors in the sun.
Comments: A new special edition Mustang GT in Red with a white leather interior was introduced for 1992. A total of 2,196 were sold. Overall sales continued to decline.
Comments: For 1993, Ford released three limited edition Mustangs: A yellow LX 5.0L convertible with white interior (1,419 produced), and a white on white convertible (1,460 produced) were available from the beginning of the year. A new Cobra model was introduced mid-year with its 5.0 liter V8 tweaked to 235 bhp, while changes to the SAE rating method dropped the regular 5.0 V8 to 200 bhp. The Cobra was produced by Ford's Special Vehicles Team (SVT) which had taken over the functions of the former SVO group. The Cobra benefited from engine improvements developed by Ford tuner Jack Roush, as well as huge 245/45ZR17 Goodyear Eagle tires on 17" wheels. Performance was good and a remarkable 4,993 cars were sold in just half a year. Although the Cobra injected some excitement in the Mustang lineup, the basic design had been unchanged for 14 years. But big things were in the works for 1994.
Engines: 2.3 liter V4 88 bhp. 5.0 liter V8 HO 200 bhp. Cobra: 5.0 liter V8 HO 235 bhp.
Performance: Cobra: 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.5 seconds @ 98.0 mph.
و هنا ينتهي الجيل الثالث للموستنق و إنشاء الله الباقي راح يكون قريبا جدا |1|
Comments: For 1990, all Mustangs received a new 140 mph speedometer to replace the previous 85 mph unit. In addition, Ford created a special run of 2,000 Emerald Green GT Convertibles with white leather interiors that it refered to as the Limited Edition Twenty-Fifth Anniversary model (evidently forgeting that the Mustang's 25th anniversary was in 1989). It was quite successful and a total of 3,837 were built.
Comments: The regular turbo charged I4 was dropped for 1986, while the SVO engine was slightly detuned for 1986, its last year, to meet the requirements of lower octane gas. A total of 9,842 SVOs were sold over the three year period, less than the first year target of 10,000. Although it helped the Mustang's performance image, its marginally better performance didn't justify the almost $4,000 price premium over a Mustang GT. And it never got the European car shoppers that were its original target.
Comments: There was a significant restyling for 1987. Although the SVO Mustangs were gone, a lot of their parts found their way to lesser Mustangs. All Mustangs received the SVO drooped nose, and thus all radiator breathing was from under the front bumper. Headlights were changed to the former SVOs aero-headlamps with halogen bulbs. In addition, GTs now came with the SVO's quad-shock rear axle suspension as standard equipment. Ford perfected its electronic fuel injection (EFI) system on the 5.0 V8, resulting in a gain to 225 bhp. The 3.8 liter V6 was dropped, leaving a significant gap between the entry level 4 cylinder engine and the V8. A five speed manual transmission was standard on all models. Visually, the GT differed from the base LX model with multilouvered taillights, front and rear air dams, and side-aerodynamic valence with scoops to front and rear brakes. The former three door sedans were now called two door hatchbacks.
Engines: 2.3 liter I4 88 bhp. 5.0 liter V8 HO 225 bhp.
Performance: 5.0 V8: 0-60 in 6.7 seconds.
[size=5]1988 Ford Mustang
Comments: The T-Top option was dropped for 1988 as the only change.
Comments: The convertible finally returned for 1983. All Mustangs also received a redesigned grille and taillights. In addition, engine choices were shuffled up, mainly for the better. The 3.3 I6 was dropped, and replaced with a new 3.8 liter V6 rated at 112 bhp. The 2.3 liter I4 Turbo Charged engine returned, completely reworked and more reliable due to the use of electronic fuel injection, and was rated at 145 bhp. But the big news was the replacement of the old two-barrel carb on the 5.0 liter V8 with a new four barrel Holley carb which resulted in 175 bhp. To handle this power, GT models used 205/70R14 tires in place of the previous 185/75R14s.
Comments: To mark the 20th anniversary of the Mustang, Ford released a special Twentieth Anniversary GT model. This featured a GT350 badge were it had been 19 years before. Unfortunately, although Carrol Shelby had licensed the Cobra name to Ford, the GT350 and GT500 names were not licensed. Ford had to discontinue using the GT350 name, making this a one year only model. The 20th Anniversary GT was offered with either the turbocharged inline 4 or the 5.0 liter H.O. All cars were Oxford White with Canyon Red stripes. A total of 5,260 20th Anniversary GTs were built, of which 3,333 were V8 coupes, 1,213 were V8 convertibles, 350 were I4 turbo coupes, and a mere 104 were I4 turbo convertibles. Both the 3.8 liter V6 and the 5.0 liter V8 H.O. replaced their carbs with a new throttle-body electronic fuel injection system. Although power for the H.O. engine dropped from 175 bhp to 165 bhp, everything else improved from cold starting, to throttle response, to fuel economy. Eager to rebuild its performance image, Ford introduced its Mustang SVO for midway through the model year as a 1984 1/2 model. Named for its Special Vehicle Operations unit, the SVO Mustang was designed with performance in mind. Available only as a Black three door hatchback, the SVO came with a modified 2.3 liter Turbocharged Inline 4 with a new intercooler for the turbo which raised power from 145 bhp to a stout 174 bhp. The SVO was quite a performer as the improved Turbocharged engine was coupled to Ford's Traction-Lok differential and a final drive ratio of 3.45:1, which gave it decent acceleration. Visually, SVOs could be identified by their unique bi-level rear spoilers, their hood scoop, and the "drooped" nose that incorporated no grille. All cooling air was taken from openings below the front bumper. In addition, the SVO Mustang featured a perfected four-bar link rear suspension system. For hard core enthusiasts, a special option, 41C, was available which not only deleted the radio, but also removed the power door locks, power windows, and air conditioning, saving the buyer $1,253 and nearly 100 lbs. compared to the regular SVOs.
Comments: The big news for 1985 was improvements to the 5.0 liter V8 H.O. The engine received true dual exhausts, and 1960s era stainless steel tube headers. Along with a longer duration lift cam and hydraulic roller valve lifters, power output increased to a respectable 210 bhp.
The SVO continued into 1985, now in Dark Charcoal Gray instead of Black and new flush-mounted halogen headlights which improved visual appeal. New P225/60VR16 Goodyear Gatorback tires and a new 3.73:1 rear axle ratio shaved nearly half a second in the quarter mile and raised trap speed by 4 mph. The steering ratio was improved from 20:1 to 15:1, and the price dropped slightly. But the big news was the introduction mid-year, of a newly improved Turbo Charged I4 with an increased boost (from 14 psi to 15 psi), dual exhausts, and a wilder camshaft, which resulted in a power increase to 205 bhp.
ثالثا الشكل الثالث للموستنق [size=4]1979 - 1993[/size]
Introduction: The third generation Mustang was built on the new global "Fox" platform which would form the basis of future Mustangs well into the next century.
1979 Ford Mustang
Comments: 1979 saw the debut of the new Mustang (the "II" was dropped) based on the new Fox platform. Compared to the 1978 Mustang II, the new Mustang was 4.1 inches longer, with a 4.2 inch longer wheelbase, yet weighed nearly 200 lbs. less. The Mustang was available in either two door coupe or three door hatchback models, as well as an upgraded trim and appearance Ghia trim. Three suspension setups were available with the top of the line Special Suspension package including retuned shock absorber valving, front and rear springs, and front and rear stabilizer bars along with metric sized cast-aluminum wheels and, for the first time on a Mustang, non-US tires (Michelin TRX performance radial tires). Lessor Mustangs had to make do with other radial or bias-ply tires. Despite the improved suspension, handling still suffered from the 60/40% weight distribution when equiped with the heavy 302 V8. A total of six engines were available, from the carryover 2.3 liter I4 now producing a mere 88 bhp up, a new 200 cubic inch (3.3 liter) 85 bhp I6 to the now 10 year old carryover 302 V8. A new turbo-charged 2.3 liter I4 was introduced which was rated at 143 bhp and its lighter weight gave the Mustang better weight balance than the heavy 302 V8. But the turbo was a mixed blessing. It generated more horsepower than the old tech V8, but there was substantial turbo lag which hurt driveability and performance. The Turbo engines also suffered from oil lubrication problems that caused some turbos to fail and others to ignite(!) Clearly, the Turbo Charged engine was not quite perfected yet. A Cobra package was available which included the Turbo Charged I4, TRX tires and wheels, and additional trim items. Also available was a new "flip-up, open-air roof" which was the closest thing to a convertible available in 1979. The Mustang was picked to pace the Indy 500 race for 1979, and Ford celebrated by producing about 11,000 Indy Pace Car Replicas which featured outlandish decals and functional Recaro reclining bucket seats.
Comments: For 1980, the Cobra option now included the Recaro seats. But this couldn't make up for the loss under the hood. In order to comply with CAFE standards, the 302 V8 was de-bored down to 255 cubic inches, reducing power from 134 bhp to 119 bhp.
Comments: The 2.8 liter V6 was dropped for 1981, with the 3.3 liter V6 receiving a slight boost in power up to 91 bhp. The Turbo Charged I4 continued and was still the standard engine in the Cobra package, although buyers could substitute the 255 V8 as a $144 credit. But by the end of the model year, the Turbo Charged engine was dropped (due to nagging realibility problems) and the V8 became the standard engine in the Cobra. Midyear, Ford introduced a four-speed plus overdrive (effectively five speed) manual transmission. This transmission could be hooked up to a new Traction-Lok rear axle, which was a limited slip differential that was vastly improved from its late 1960's iterations and finally was able to somewhat control axle hop and wheel spin. The 1979 Replica T-Top option was brought back, which led to some aftermarket convertible conversions. Ford didn't seem to notice (or care) about this pent up demand for Mustang convertibles.
Comments: Performance fans finally were rewarded in 1982 with the reintroduction of the beloved 302 V8, now named the 5.0 liter HO (High Output) and rated at a decent 157 bhp. In addition, the GT package came back and was available in either red, black, or metallic silver paint and featured spoilers and a large (cosmetic) hood scoop. Two door coupes got more pronounced B-pillars and were now formally known as two door sedans. The Ghia model name was dropped and replaced with L, GL, GLX, and the GT package. Base prices started at $6,345 and could top $6,000 for a fully loaded GT.
Introduction: The second generation Mustang, called the Mustang II, was an attempt to get back to the light, sporty car of the mid 1960s, modeled after European competitors. Instead, the Second Generation Mustang failed miserably, and ended up as a truly underpowered shadow of its former self. Perhaps no other car best examplifies what was wrong with performance in the 1970s than the Mustang II.
1974 Ford Mustang II
Engines: 2.3 liter V4 102 bhp @ 5200 rpm. 2.8 liter V6 119 bhp @ 5200 rpm.
Performance: 2.8 V6/119: 0-60 in 13.8 seconds, 1/4 mile in 19.4 seconds @ 70.5 mph.
[size=2] 1975 Ford Mustang II
Comments: 1978 saw the introduction of the King Cobra Mustang II. The King Cobra package was offered only with the four-speed manual transmission and featured a better suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars, the 302 V8 with a Variable Venturi Carbureator, Goodyear P195/70R13 radial tires, and a wild paint and graphics appearance package. Most King Cobras were built in Bright Red, although technically any regular Mustang II color was available. The King Cobra package (at a cost of $1,277) pushed the price of a Mustang II from a base of $4,088 to over $6,800. To add to the excitement, Ford also teamed up with Monroe Shocks to create a total of eight show cars, known collectively as the "Monroe Handler." Featuring wild custom bodywork and numerous handling upgrades, these show cars generated a great deal of excitement for the Mustang II. But this would be the last year for the Mustang II. An all new Mustang was to debut in 1979, modeled after Volkswagen's Rabbit. Appropriately, it would be Ford's fox.
