Used Ford Mustang cars for sale

In the world of motoring you hear the words ‘iconic’ and ‘legendary’ thrown around quite a lot, mostly on cars that haven’t really done much to earn them. With the Ford Mustang though, these words are understatements. It’s just heroic and is the definition of American motoring prowess. If you want an out and out muscle car, look no further.

The Mustang galloped onto the motoring scene in 1964 and has reigned supreme ever since. Its unique design created the ‘pony class’ of American cars, which had long bonnets and short rear ends. That alone cemented its place in history, but every new generation brought something different in terms of design or performance. Newer models are just incredible to behold with a great mix of classic and futuristic designs.

As if the Mustang marque wasn’t famous enough, the affiliation with Carroll Shelby led to the creation of some impossibly awesome cars. Shelby Mustangs were all about going fast and looking brash, even more so than the originals. Some of the most notable models were the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 (which appeared in the film Gone in 60 Seconds) and 1969 Shelby GT 350.

To get behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang is to set off a bomb. You really can open the stable door and let it bolt. It’s supremely fast and handles just how you’d expect a muscle car to. The whole experience assaults the senses and gets the adrenaline pumping, and that’s what driving is all about. It’s a real driver’s car and petrol heads will love it.

The Mustang isn’t a cheap car by any stretch of the imagination, but buying second hand can lessen the blow substantially. While older models might be serious collector’s items, there’s a good mix of past and current variants at Motors.co.uk. You’ll have to be quick to get hold of the latter especially, but with great price reductions a second hand Ford Mustang could be sitting pretty on your drive in no time.

So the Ford Mustang is a quintessential muscle car that has been around for years and never fails to delight. From its trademark design to the roar of its massive engine, you really do feel totally alive when chewing up the miles on the road. The Mustang is the boss, and really does deserve to be called a legend.
