Advertising Photograph, Model with 1979 Ford Mustang 2.3

Summary

Mustang's third generation began with the 1979 model. The new design answered calls for better fuel economy with smaller engines, lighter weight, and improved aerodynamics. Performance was available in the form of an optional 5.0-liter engine added in 1982, and improved turbocharging in 1983. The long-running design remained in production through 1993, with a major update in 1987.
