These are all unreferenced, and such a level of detail is better suited to a fan site anyway. All they're doing here is mucking up the page. I'm inclined to remove them unless there's a fair argument in favor of keeping them. -- Sable232 ( talk) 03:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Replaced them with sourced tables with engines info SHAMAN 20:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

If not split, then definitely infoboxes are needed for each generation, as dimensions are totally different for '67 and '71 (I'm keen to do that). When it comes to the 1971-73 again I read here: http://www.mustangandfords.com/thehistoryof/16382_ford_mustang_mach_1/index.html The platform was based more on the Fairlane/Torino/Cyclone than it was on the Mustang of 1967-'70. Wheelbase grew by 1 inch to 109. Overall length grew several inches, and there was significant weight gain. so it looks like they were built on different platform.

This article has a lot of detail. Could the author please review WP:LEAD and properly summarize the article. Make sure that each section of the article is synthesized to its most basic points in the LEAD. It is going to take me a few days to get to the entire article, but the article has no chance of passing without a proper LEAD.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 18:19, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Link main Ford Mustang article in the LEAD opening paragraph if not sentence.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 05:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
As much as I personally like the subject, I think the current version of this article needs to spend some time at WP:PR before it is anywhere near ready for WP:GAC. In addition to the issues that I started to find above, the tables will need to be referenced in a standardized manner. Something like "The following are the statistics for x group of engines." followed by a normal full citation as opposed to a link in the place of a citation at the bottom of a table. The main image needs some sort of logo FUR, I believe. I have not checked other images. It might be better if the main image were formatted more like that of the main article with a picture of a car and a logo. The LEAD remains inadaquate and many paragraphs are all sourced to a single source. For these reasons, I am failing this article before anyone commits to investing more time in this nomination.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 14:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. That's how it looked before I started work on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ford_Mustang_(first_generation)&oldid=386545467 I've done alot and have feeling that I'm the only person interested in first gen. Mustangs. Hope someone will read Your notes on what should be addressed and helps! SHAMAN 15:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The 427 is listed for the 1968 model year even though there has never been any definitive proof of this and it remains one of the most debated facts (or fiction) of muscle car history. Additionally there site used as the ref for this claim appears to be a self published site (blog?) and IMO is far from being credible on such a controversial topic. I wanted to get some feed back from others before making any changes so please share your thoughts. 207.216.253.134 ( talk) 05:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
In the 1969-1970 engines section there is listed a 1969 351 Cleveland engine. However, this engine was not used in the Mustang until 1970. I would suggest changing this to reflect that this is actually the specifications for a 351ci Windsor 4-barrel engine by simply changing the link from Cleveland to one that redirects to the 351 Ford Windsor page. Next up, the entry directly above this is a 1969-70 351ci Windsor engine, however the horsepower rating for this is listed at 250HP. This is in fact the rating for the 2-barrel Windsor engine and not the 4-barrel which made 290HP. Helihax ( talk) 02:32, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Re: '69 Engines - Agreed. The Mach I for 1969 only came in a 351W. The 351C wasn't available until 1970 (in fact, NO Cleveland heads were used for the '69 Mach I). Also: 1969 Manufacturing locations: San Jose, California was a production site. I have a Mach I that came off the production line in February 1969 and it's VIN starts 9R - The R => San Jose Plant. 71.106.164.225 ( talk) 04:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
