How did the early model hold up? Are they tanks like every other car built in the era?
The Older Stangs I think did okay from everywhere but the rear end hard hitting collision.....because the rearend collisions have been know to break the gas tank open and spray fuel threw out the passenger compartment which is then saddly to say usually ignited into a ball of flames.....some people have surrvived, barley.

That is way you can buy and steel reenforced trunk divider plate for the pre-69 mustangs.

well maybe if you have a convertible mustang, then your dead in almost any crash that involves flipping, but besides, if your worried about crashing then your obviously not a good enough driver to be driving a powerful mustang. or else just get the puny 2.3 Litre and puddle along

I know this is an old post but oh well

If you have your seatbelt on and your air bag works right then it can save your life. I was in a wreck (not a car thank god) at 50 mph and hit two horses. The doors to the truck wouldn't open i couldn't see over the hood and of course i had lost my mind. After kicking the door open I looked at my truck and thought my uncle was gonna kill me. Then thought hey I'm lucky I've seen wrecks that the cars involved didn't look anywere close to my truck and had deaths.

you guys know that commercial (for nfl tv or directv or something)where the guy is watching sports on tv, dies, goes to heaven and he's in the same situation, sitting in his recliner watching tv again when he gets to heaven? That's probably what it's like if you crash and die in your stang, you just go up to heaven and you're driving your stang again. who knows if my garbled english makes sense.
