In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ford released the Fastback and Notchback. The Fastback 2+2 was a new 1970 model. Among the powerful engines Mustang developed, Ford came up with the idea of a new engine that made the Mustang a muscle car. A bigger engine then hit the market for early models.
In the late 1970s, Mustang came up with a bigger and better family car with more comfortable room inside the interior. In 1979, the Mustang was the pace car of the 62nd Indianapolis 500.
In the early 1980s, new improved front-ends and better aerodynamics set more horsepower to the Mustang. The new LX 5.0 Liter was a big seller of the 80s and improved the production run. The LX could soon be rebuilt to the GT by building in the GT engine and GT suspension for only less than $2,000.
In 1990, Mustang improved their electronics and monitor pods by updating technology.
