    The  Mustang first generation-  1964 1/2 To 1973.

    The first generation is usually subdivided into four groups. 1964 - 1966, 1967-1968, 1969 - 1970, 1971-1973. The main reason is that the models didn't change too much, other than trim and options. If the model you are looking for is not in this list you should check the model in the same subdivision. (check to see if the engine displacement corresponds). If you are not impressed with the performance of a model remember that those figures are as a stock, as delivered from the factory with 60's tire and suspension technology.
