yes, but look again, not genrations, its says evolution,
many changes even in the generations.
example, 86 fox to 90 is totally different.
same as 64 to 70
67 AGAIN

I’m posting the picture again so no need to flip back.
Trevor is right. There are several missing.
By rights it should be 64 1/2 to 66, then 67-68, then 69-70.
And even there front end of 69 is different than 70. Poster would need much more space and pictures.
But the one that jumps out at me as being off is the third box.
The one they have listed as 70 to 73.
First they have the years wrong.
It should read 71 to 73.
And second, they have the wrong picture.
They are missing a complete evolution model.
The largest model and the first with squarer body panels.
This model:
Then the one I was thinking could have an asterisk is the second box.
The one they list as 65 to 70.
Those are the Shelbys.
They could explain that because some folks may not get the difference between that box and the first box.
And the 69-70 Shelbys were not true Shelbys.
They were Fords with a Shelby name only.
By then Shelby thought they were getting big and heavy and did not fit his vision of a sports car.
And Ford was pushing luxury over outright performance so they parted ways.

your right on the Shelbys, except the 65GT350R which is picture and really shouldn't be,
basically 37 race cars at the time and everyone except one I beleive actually raced.
It was sent to shelby and it was totally rebuilt except the body.
Shelby took it from the Secretary's car to the pony car we all love and know.

Didn’t the R’s have the front chrome bumper deleted and replaced by the Shelby front bumper with the larger opening for more air, and an aluminium or plexiglass sheet over the quarter windows instead of the vents?
And often times side pipes, and no side scoops or side mirrors?
To me, the one pictured above appears to have all the “as sold to the public” hardware, including the heavy front bumper.

Actually your correct, my mistake.
the one in poster is the GT350.
which was sent to shelby to lose the secertary tag.
It was sold to public, still most of the upgrades
were done by Shelby, then later built by ford
to create the GT mustang.
Shelby had a huge influence on the future Mustangs
and thier reputation.

Shelby is still having huge influence on Mustangs.
Even from the grave.
That’s how far reaching his legacy is.
I noticed something that has happened several times over the last few years.
I would like to comment on, but first I wish to make clear this is not aimed at anyone
but more a general comment to everyone here.
As you all know, members here love helping you spend money, upgrades repairs
anything mustang related, even a hoist for Charlie's pony barn
But remember our advice comes from wanting everyone here to get best experience
and bang for buck and makes nothing from your success, other than the joy knowing
they helped out another member, shops, others are looking at thier profit.
When your doing mods or upgrades and even trying to solve a problem
ask folks here and take advice for what you paid for it
But we have a large collective amount of experience here and I suggest folks
really listening and asking questions, everyone here wants your mods to be great
you upgrades and repairs to be successful.
I have seen people not take the advice, go thier own way and end with more problems than results.
We have seen people not do the research and end up not happy. Each decision is our own and we will
all live with the results. At the end of the day everyone wants what they want and should try to the best of
thier ability to achieve that. One persons experience good or bad, does not mean it will be yours.
Like they say in gambling ads, please play responsible LOL
Also remember everyone here is in a different place in life. Some have more disposable income,
some have less, each has different levels of responsibility and likely different end goals for life, toys
etc.
In the end do what makes you smile, thats what this should be about.
