The Seven Best Mustangs Ever, And Three Of The Worst

January 19, 2018

1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback

I may talk about Bullitt a lot, but there’s a reason for that. As well as being an absolutely cracking film, it’s also one of the best car movies ever made (only Vanishing Point can challenge it in my eyes), and whatever you want to say about Steve McQueen, this car deserved equal billing. During that famous chase, the 1968 Mustang GT Fastback battled with a Dodge Charger 440 Magnum, and proved itself its cinematic equal. There is not a single person who watches the Mustang bounce its way down San Francisco’s hills and does not want to reenact it. What a beauty of a car. It’s the details that get me. The immaculate look of the car’s curves and bulges, the grills above the rear wheels, and the slight hint of fins at the car’s rear.

If you wanted to race this machine, it was more than capable. Zero to sixty went down in 6.2 seconds, and the top speed was a rollicking 130 mph. You may not be rocking Steve McQueen’s style, but who cares? The car is your suit, your accessory, and your wit rolled into a single vehicle. It cemented the Ford Mustang’s place in popular culture, and that’s why its place on this list is thoroughly deserved.
