Discover the full story of Ford's beloved pony car in this compellingly written volume that leaves no stone unturned.
Mustang Unbridled delivers the first-ever comprehensive historical narrative on the Ford Mustang, a thrilling ride through 60-plus years of continuous production that reveals one of history's greatest automotive success stories.
Author Robert M. Kennedy begins before the beginning, outlining the genesis of Ford Motor Company from Henry's founding through the 1950s, delineating the key events that set Ford on a performance-car path.
From there, the story is traced through each Mustang generation, detailing the corporate maneuvers, engineering decisions, competition forays, advertising campaigns, and highs and lows across six decades of market success.
Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, Don Frey, and other key Ford staff set the stage, joined by a host of outside influencers, including Carroll Shelby, Steve Saleen, Jack Roush, Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and more.
From the V4-powered Mustang prototype of 1962 to the first six-cylinder Mustang of 1964-1/2 to the fire-breathing, world-beating Boss and Shelby versions of the 1960s and early '70s, to the Mustang II and Fox-body cars, to today's high-performance Dark Horse and GTD supercar, Mustang Unbridled offers the most thorough history available for Ford's most popular car.
If you are a Mustang owner or admirer, this book offers the deep dive you've been searching for.

About the Author
Robert M. Kennedy is a graduate of Wyoming Technical Institute, a former Porsche Premier Technician, and a lifelong Mustang enthusiast. In 2020, Kennedy wrote and produced a "zero-budget" documentary film, Adapt or Die: The Mustang II Story. Kennedy's documentary inspired John M. Clor, Enthusiast Communications Manager for Ford Performance, to engage him as a contributing writer for Performance.Ford.com.Β Kennedy then formed Unleaded Only Publications to self-publish book projects. Since then, he's proven a dynamic speaker and an engaging and popular podcast guest. His Mustang insights have been featured in Open Road magazine and in presentations at the Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d'Elegance. Robert resides in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
