From its inception to present, the Mustang has won many racing championships. Cosmetic features were enhanced in 1966. The first major redesign took place in 1967 with an increase in length and height of the body along with and extended roof line. The Cobra Jet engine was introduced in 1968. The Boss model was released in 1969, offering a fresh style with a new Sports Roof and longer body and a Windsor V8 engine.
The Mustang was redesigned two inches longer and wider in 1971. The Boss models were discontinued due to government fuel regulations and the 351HO model was introduced in 1972. A smaller style was produced in 1973 (the ugliest Mustang in my opinion) and would be the last Mustang convertible for many years.
