If the truth be told, less than 2 in 100 drivers have had the pleasure to drive a Mustang and in this fast-changing power switch to EV, you might never get an opportunity to drive a race-tuned Mustang on a premium track. The 1965 Mustang became a best-seller and they reached the magic 1 million units in just a few years. In 1968 model introduced the 4.9l V8 engine, which was state of the art for the time.
