From an era when cars could go like hell, but stopping them was always exciting too, in a not-so-good way! My '71 Torino-GT was rated at 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, but the four drum brakes were damned scary every time I stepped on the brake!!! I never knew how much fade there was going to be or which way it was going to swerve!
Why aren't car ads like this any more? they are too sterile (apart from the new Mustang), Gotta love the 6.5'' cross ply tyres, drums on the rear, rolly poly suspension and a HELL OF ALOT OF POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always laughed when this old guy would drive his cobra jet to our shop to complain about silly things like boiling gas in the carb lmfao (He is the original owner) and the damn car still goes like a molested primate!
The 428 has piston sleeves the size of coffee cans. No replacement for displacement, and no school like the old school. I love embarrassing the rice burners at the stop lights.
@sunnymuffins13208 no, the horsepower for the cobra jet was rated at 335, which sounded like a dissapointment but the people who actually bought the 428CJ found that ford lied about the true horsepower number. the actual horsepower number was somewhere over 400
@straightedge442 For years, my enjoyment of seeing how long it took to "make the threads jump out" of hiding under all that rubber was soo much fun! I kinda wondered why the salesman at Bob's tire shop smiled and waved at me like he knew I'd be back next week......
Wow. Exceptionally poor production values, in the making of this presentation. Were the dancers allowed to rehearse?
I can easily imagine that a generation of Directors of Photography learned quite a bit about their craft from and after witnessing the blunderous mistakes in the filming of the Mustang in motion.
This spot never aired on TV, right? This lengthy commercial was a rushed production meant to be viewed only by Ford salesmen?
@neatoauctions You know, anyone looking to critique a commercial from this era with the eye of a cynic with regard to less than precision point synchronization of dance choreography, shot-angles, etc. CLEARLY misses the point. If what you need is the sterility of low-end thump pumping out of 5.1 sound and razor sharp editing bereft of any soul, there are plenty of contemporary ads to direct your pseudo-elitist scrutiny towards.
Your attempt at creative writing is wholly laughable. The "point" of any advertisement is to create a demand for a product. If a pitch is skewed to the point of distraction -- pushing attention from the merchandise "torward[s]" dismal production execution-- then such an attempt at marketing will undermine the effectiveness of the campaign.
@neatoauctions Requiring an ad from 41 years ago to "create a demand" for yourself (today) is ludicrous. It was a different era, and the litmus was, so too, different. These ads were created to serve as a springboard for viewers to launch their own 'spec search'. Only a moron would hang their buying impulses on choreographed dance steps and camera angles. They're >teasers<; if you need unadulterated reality, then go take a test drive. Btw, "torward/s" isn't a word, you idiot.
You again. "Only a moron would hang their buying impulses on choreographed dance steps." So your message here is the view that Ford believes their potential customers are moronic simps, easily persuaded by undulating youth, involved in ungainly wriggling? That seems to be the case; so you've taken one step closer to a distant, logical perception. "Btw,"torward/s" isn't a word" Then why did you use it? "Towards" is a word, used primarily in GB. While in the US, "toward"is preferred
@neatoauctions"Ford believes their potential customers are moronic simps, easily persuaded by undulating youth, involved in ungainly wriggling?" Well, of course; you did favorite the video, right?
Toward/towards are equally acceptable. You said "toRwards", which is NOT a word. You are quick though!
They new it - At the end they even said it. Yet, they were Bunkie Kundsen and a year away from trashing the classic lines. I do believe he was a plant.
@hillbillyboy1993 Hey, did the windsor come from the 351? er did the 351 come from the windsor? (whatever point you were trying to make there ! ) some folks say 289,302 &351 W are all the same head design... otherwise known as the Ford "snorkel port" around here ...whenever we get bored enough to talk about junk purely for comic relief.
@hillbillyboy1993 I dont doubt you one bit, Cletus, its probably your Camaro too. & it hasnt had the oil changed in 5 years but lots added as it burns it like crazy & it looks like a lightening storm when you open the hood in the dark from the all the shorts in the cracked plug wires. The neighbor girl also out ran it with her bicycle but you were nt so eager to mention that either, were ya? BTW "Visioned" is a word only in hillbillyville.
@liquidmetal121 it would take some work to wake up a Boss 429 because they choked them at the factory on purpose, flat on the bottom end, but once that thing was wound up it went insane. better have some good rubber on the back !
they pulled into oatman AZ at the end of the video lol
yah ford had the pony car first but the 289 was never a match for SBC power. so ford jammed the FE boat anchor bigblocks in them. made the mustang nose heavy & bad handling.
Hey! I was around in 1969. I bought a 69 Dodge Charger new. I am not dead or dying. I am in the process of restoring a 69 Mach 1 now and I'm gonna drive the wheels off it!
I think the Grande model was a bad idea. Who would want a car that looks sporty on the outside and like grandma's car from the inside? So I say; either build a sedan, or build a hot rod. Don't try mixing it up like that. It looks like shit. The Mach1 is really something!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, screw me, but I say the Mustang is the one of the pony cars that sux hardest. I mean, it's the less rarest one. And my little cousin, age 4, wants already one. If you own a Mustang, maybe you're fast and all. But you don't give proof of classic taste. At least if you're not older than 60 years.
I can get honest tears thinking about the rusted out field Mach 1's,cobra jets, even a shelby gt500kr convertible i've seen in my life. . . such a shame here in Washington...
A friend in H.S. had a Jade Green '69 Mach 1, 428 SCJ, 4-Speed Toploader, 3.91 Detroit Locker, Shaker, Slats and Magnum 500's. Hedman headers w/ Cherry Bombs bolted to the collectors was the exhaust system. Sideways at any speed. He restored it, still has it and its worth close to $100K today. He'll probably be buried in it.
Y'know, 40 years of technology hasn't made the new Mustangs better than the good old '69 Mach 1. The new little 4.6 is not a 428 Cobra Jet / Toploader equivelant. If only we could buy this car new today.
yep Ive got a 69 mach 1 fastback in orange with a windsor 4 speed. Im building a 440 windsor dart small block, Its gonna be radical 550hp and 620 ft/lbs of torque.
well i think John Deer has a better tractor than FORD, shit is that you daddy on the Ford Tractor calling your name, maybe tonight you you and your daddy on the tractor can cut the corn, wink, wink,
@mustangfan41 the javelin ended in 74, around the same time the mustang became a Pinto. AMC was bought out in 1987. The challenger bowed out in 73 and returned (as did the charger) as an economy sports car in the late 70's-80's. the camaro ended in 2002 and returned in 2010, 8 years gone. The mustang outsold its competitors most of the time, but rarely out performed them. My 93 Z28 was rated at 275hp. It took mustang until 2005, discounting "special editions", to meet or exceed that rating.
ok...maybe..just [maybe] the camaro is faster....but this car is soooooooooo much better looking .....but you can thank ford for the camaro..wanna no why?..becuase the mustang came out 3 years earlier and chevy was like..oh shit..we dont have a car to compete with that ..so walla ,,the camaro comes out
just like the bronco came out before blazer ..and the ranchero before the el comino ..i guess chevy cant break new ground like ford did ...and ford made v8's 23 years before chevy
You "heard all about it from a Camaro loving daddy. The TRUTH was that the BIG block Mustangs were faster in 69 and 70...but then chevy fans always had problems with facts. The Boss 429 stangs advertised 435 HP and factually put out 490 but were advertised with less so Insurance companies would still insure them. They ATE Camaros.

The Mustang is the only pony car that survived all these years:
Camaro shut down for almost ten years
Firebird has been gone for a while
Challenger is just coming back as well since being gone for almost 30 years
AMC Javelina has been gone since the company went out of buisness
Pretty much, it is the king of the pony car war

Firebird is gone for good, because Pontiac is.

@mustangfan41 the javelin ended in 74, around the same time the mustang became a Pinto. AMC was bought out in 1987. The challenger bowed out in 73 and returned (as did the charger) as an economy sports car in the late 70's-80's. the camaro ended in 2002 and returned in 2010, 8 years gone. The mustang outsold its competitors most of the time, but rarely out performed them. My 93 Z28 was rated at 275hp. It took mustang until 2005, discounting "special editions", to meet or exceed that rating.

ok...maybe..just [maybe] the camaro is faster....but this car is soooooooooo much better looking .....but you can thank ford for the camaro..wanna no why?..becuase the mustang came out 3 years earlier and chevy was like..oh shit..we dont have a car to compete with that ..so walla ,,the camaro comes out
just like the bronco came out before blazer ..and the ranchero before the el comino ..i guess chevy cant break new ground like ford did ...and ford made v8's 23 years before chevy

You "heard all about it from a Camaro loving daddy. The TRUTH was that the BIG block Mustangs were faster in 69 and 70...but then chevy fans always had problems with facts. The Boss 429 stangs advertised 435 HP and factually put out 490 but were advertised with less so Insurance companies would still insure them. They ATE Camaros.
