What characteristics of a Mustang make it a valuable collectors car?

Condition, how many were manufactured that production year and any unique factory upgrades.

What I have always found fascinating is that it was initially designed to attract women buyers and later it turned into a macho machine. The initial advertising was definitely aimed at girls – it was a “pretty” car without much in the way of performance or handling in the beginning. A “prettified” two door Ford Falcon.

those answers are correct, but I need more like specific details that make the Mustang a valuable collector’s car.

I don’t regard it as valuable – just a bit more popular than some others of its vintage. There are many more sixties cars that hold a much higher value at auctions etc. Usually the true performance cars.

Yes, but what things make it popular. Like how there is a new model practically every year, or how it revolutionized the car design. I just need a few more things.

Or mainly I should say how shelby’s have made them a collector’s item.

A Shelby Mustang is something altogether different. They are collectors’ cars.

Yes, but Shelby is how the Mustangs began the muscle image for the Mustang. Oh, and if you happen to have any sources that I could use I would be grateful.

@Goofykid3435 _Yes, but Shelby is how the Mustangs began the muscle image for the Mustang. _

Yes, Shelby and Hollywood. They “starred” in a couple of popular movies. Like anything that is rare and nostalgically popular, they have value. It is, – as always – nothing more than supply and demand.

are you a Camaro fan more than a Mustang fan? Cause it sounds like it. No offense.

Nathen, you should be doing your own school work without a blog. Use information that you know is correct, not just opinions.

I don’t like any American cars. I have owned and driven some, but I prefer European cars. In those days I drove mostly Italian German or British performance cars. They were faster, handled better and were more fun to drive.

Yeah, well my grandpa used to work for Ford so I have been a fan from birth.

One of my grandfathers was a minister. I am an atheist.

The early models are fairly rare and were a stylistic innovation. Personally I’d rather have a vehicle that represented a technological innovation, such as an early Porsche, a Chrysler Airflow or a Tatra T77. If you’re fixated on Mustangs, the Shelby GT350 and GT500 from the late sixties will probably grow in value more quickly than the standard Ford products.

All original parts and fair condition are almost worth more than gussied up show cars with modified replacement parts. But simply matched serial numbers is ideal and from their it is all about the condition and performance of the engine. Having receipts and papers helps a lot too.

@Goofykid3435 What kind of report are you writing? Must be pretty interesting to write about a Ford Mustang not knowing anything about it, huh. Use google instead and learn how to index your sources.

@Goofykid3435 The only thing that makes a car valuable is that someone likes it enough to pay a lot of money for it. This is purely an aesthetic choice and needs no rhyme or reason. It could be nostalgia, reputation, or design.

It’s bad-ass-ieness. And the fact it was used so well in Bullet.

@DarkScribe rotflol that’s awesome, well none of you are help so I’m just going to go back to searching off google.
