Mustang Unbridled delivers the most comprehensive account of Ford’s Mustang ever published, a thrilling ride through six decades of continuous production that reveals one of history’s greatest automotive success stories. Author Robert M. Kennedy begins before the beginning, outlining the evolution of Ford Motor Company from its founding through the early ’60s – delineating the key events that set the Blue Oval on a performance-car path.
From there, Kennedy steers the reins of Mustang’s story through each of its generations, detailing the impacts of internal and external politics, engineering decisions, advertising campaigns, competitive models, racing endeavors, pop culture, and world events, on its unprecedented success. Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, Don Frey, and other key Ford staff set the stage, joined by a host of outside influencers, including Carroll Shelby, Steve Saleen, Jack Roush, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., and many more.
From the V4-powered Mustang prototype of 1962 to the fire-breathing, world-beating Boss and Shelby versions of the late ’60s and early ’70s; and from the Mustang II and Fox-body cars to today’s high-performance Dark Horse and GTD supercar, Mustang Unbridled offers an unequalled examination of Ford’s legendary pony car.
