.........I wonder if this was a winning number? Found a giant stack of magazines in an old house on a property that I hunt, most of them from 1964. The kids and I scoured every page looking for Bronco ads in a couple of 1965 magazines but didn't find any. Found this insert for a mustang drawing........missed the deadline by 50 years though, lol. I'll post some of the other car ads sometime, they're still in excellent shape.

Happy birthday Mustang.



I had a baby blue 64.5 mustang when I was high school. Wore the back seat out. When I got rid of it the poor thing had been hit from all directions in six different directions.

Old magazines are way cool..I have a 1966 hot rodding in the "library" i have been reading again.

Mustangs were cheap when i was driving 1980's I had many Mustangs. 1966 170 inline 6, 1967 289 4 speed,
1969 302 auto, 1973 250 inline 6, 1975 cobra, 1978 cobra, 1980 inline6 200ci ,1982 same as the 1980 for power.
I think that is all the mustangs i owned.. 900 is the most i paid for any of them.

Cool find on the magazines. I love seeing the price of the new cars.

Wonder if anybody has done a comparison of the average wage, and the price of a car back in the day vs todays wages and prices of new vehicles.

Are we loosing ground?

According to this website: http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

and a quick google search the Base price of a 65 Mustang was $2,427 in 2014 dollars that equals $18,205.81. With a rate of inflation of 650.1%

According to the SSA the average income in 1965 was $4,658.72 which would be $34,946.76 today

In 2012 the average income was $44,321.67 and a base mustang had an MSRP of $22,310
