MUSTANG 4.7 V8 (271 HP) RWD

About the Mustang 4.7 V8 (271 Hp) RWD

The car that started it all. A 4.7-liter small-block V8 in a body that cost less than a family sedan. Ford sold a million Mustangs in the first two years because they understood something nobody else did: Americans didn't want practical — they wanted to feel something on the way to work. 271 hp was serious power in 1964. Four-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, live rear axle. Simple enough to fix in your garage, fast enough to matter on Friday night. The pony car segment exists because of this engine in this car.
