I bought this book for my Grandson for Christmas. He loves Mustangs and loves this book. Of course he didn't understand the history of these cars and this book was a great help.

A great gift for a Mustang fan. Gave this as a gift to a family member. They said it was very heavy and looked expensive. It has every Mustang model that has ever existed and info on each one. The pictures are of excellent quality.

My husband found this book at a Books A Million, and I found it on Amazon for half the price, and free shipping, good buy!

This book is exactly what a Mustang fan needs , a"bible".Technical informations are very usefull. It's not only" one more book" about Mustang .

Purchased this book for my 19-year-old son. It arrived in great condition and looks like a very high quality book. I think he will love it. It's a Christmas gift (I start early.). It's wrapped in plastic to provide extra protection. Arrived promptly. Free Shipping. Thanks!

Great and informative book / and in very good shape thanks

These chilton books really annoy me because when the repair gets ugly, they always state something like, "please take your vehicle to an authorized repair shop". Also, the particular book Amazon sent me had my year/make/model wiring diagram torn out of it. WTF? By the time I discovered this, the return deadline had passed. I also bought the CD version of the original shop manual and it's 10x better anyway so no big loss.

I have a 1967 Cougar and this manual was very helpful. Everything from diagrams of the engine to wiring diagrams.

Overall has the best information. A manual that a beginner or experienced person can understand. Excellent book for mechanical or restorative use.

I am very impressed with the amount of information and repair advice in this book. Because the early Mustangs are not as complicated at more modern automobiles, compared to recent manuals, this one has room to go into much greater detail. For example, the engine rebuild section is nearly as comprehensive as one of the books on rebuilding fords engines and is naturally focused on the engines found only in Mustangs. There are many troubleshooting charts and the specification tables and accompanying photos and drawings are very useful for model and equipment identification, especially if one is restoring a car. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to service a Mustang from these years, and also recommend it to anyone who is restoring an early Mustang, or considering purchasing one.

This book has alot of information/data but none of it is useful unless you need specific concourse part numbers, etc. Even so, the diagrams are jumbled several to a page making them virtually unreadable and hiding any detail you might be looking for such as how exactly the 1968 headlight bucket attaches to the fender/grill (just as an example). If you need detailed, specific information, it would be best for you to purchase your car's make/model/year factory service manual. The most irritating issue I have with this book is that it's a regurgitation of diagrams and data tables but does not include listings of part numbers to match the diagrams. For instance, the body panel breakdown contains part numbers listed with the body panels but there's no cross-reference to find out what exactly the body panel's name is as you would need to order it from a parts house.

As long as you realize this book provides all the nitty gritty details of a Mustang, you should be happy with it. You will note many of the diagrams are the same ones used in the parts catalogs like NPD. Since I am in the stage of disassembly and early restoration, it won't get much use yet but once I start to put things back together, I see this book as very valuable. There is not much verbiage so this will not give you the "tricks" to put things together but should be a good supplement to other books.

This book is an excellent guide for anyone who is restoring an early Mustang or needs information identifying an existing car or possible purchase. Richly supplied with photos, diagrams and tables of specifications, the book gives nearly all the informtion to do an accurate restoration of a 64-70 Mustang. The biggest flaw is that many of the data charts do not include information past 1970. The engine identification photographs and charts fail to give information past 1970. Since the motive power for a Muscle Car is of great interest to most owners, this is an important oversight. The section on interiors also fails to show photos or diagrams beyond 1970. Since I am restoring a 1972 with a trashed interior, I was very disappointed not to be able to tell how my interior should look. The trim codes list didn't go beyond 1970 so I couldn't tell what the colors should be. The suspension section and driveline section is also short of critical information. For a person working on a 64-70 Mustang, I highly recommend the book. It is richly filled with information and visuals. I would still get the book as a restorer of a 1971-1973 because there is lots of great information, such as complete information on the body and paint. Much of the missing information can be inferred from the 1970 model and since one also needs a shop manual, the rest of the information would be there.

Gives you good information about model development, and original and optional equipment and modifications. Good photgraphs. Good description of essential parts by model year. The exploded line drawings give you a general impression of the build and parts, but they are not adequate for do-it-yourself projects. I miss information about function (i.e. ventilation or heater regulation) and about fluids (oil, cooler etc.)

I bought a 68 as a project in a semi dismantled condition, this book is an excellent reference for piecing together which bits go where (& which are missing!), the notes on options are also useful. This is my first restoration & this book will be a valuable source of information.
