Ford Mustang Yearly Production Numbers (1964-2025)

The Ford Mustang is an icon of the automotive industry, well in the USA anyway. Most of them were sold there after all. It created the 'pony car', an affordable compact muscle sports car. 

Sales took off and a star was born. Many Mustang buyers graduated onto other Ford models so it had that additional benefit as well.

Unfortunately, subsequent models got bigger and heavier - as car executives cannot resist doing - and the Mustang production slipped slowly but inexorably down. New models gave the Mustang a pep but each time a little less so. Still, it was worth the continuation.

Its main competitor was the Chevrolet Camaro, which did well but couldn't quite match the Mustang for sales. Both have sold well, so the muscle car is a popular model even if not as much today as times past. To see the Chev Camaro production history, just click here.

Below the colours are for each series, six so far. The decade figure defines the end of such in a '0' year. Each period has seen a reduction in production volume. Exports have included right hand drive recently and I see them around the roads in New Zealand, where the Mustang is proving popular.

Generation Seven:

The 7th generation arrived in 2023 but I have put the  6th generation for that year. What stands out is the lower volume for the 7th generation. Why?

Higher prices plus the fact that it has a similar chassis and appearance to the previous generation  is cited as the main reason. Many are opting to buy late model 6th generation cars instead. 

The fact that production is at an all time low and yet Ford persists with the Mustang is a good sign. It's a car few now buy but it offers something unique. Ford is now unchallenged in the standard V8 muscle car market. 

Clearly it's a market segment in decline and if that continues, one would have to wonder of an 8th generation will see the light of day. Apparently, Ford will be doing it, around 2029.

Austin Arrow

Austin started in 1905 and came to an end in 1987, the Rover brand taking its place. Another name with a long history consigned to the dustbin. The name was eventually owned by SAIC and acquired by John Stubbs in 2015.

He then set about reviving the car brand, but not as one may expect. He created an electric sports car, inspired by the 1920's Austin 7 Roadster.  It's a minimalist, open-top, fair weather Sunday drive car rather than something used as regular transport. 

It's produced in India and has an annual production of 120 cars. It was designed and engineered in the UK, with some final customisation and assembly touches at its UK facilities. 

It has a range of approximately 100 miles (160 kms). It's classed as a quadricycle, which has certain advantages and limitations in the UK. At £31,000, it isn't cheap but does seem well thought out and executed. 

The reality is it's a fun sports car for those who want something different but can also afford to own one and accept the limitations that come with it. It has no roof or proper windscreen, relying on small wind deflectors and safety roll hoops. 

I love the fact that people make cars like this. For those who do obtain one, it's something that surely puts a smile on the face of the driver and also for those who see one driving past.  

Venezuela Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Apr - Top 10)

The economy is growing, although high inflation is still an issue. This after a terrible time of economic collapse and hypeinflation. 

JAC's are hitting the road in increasing numbers and that with a huge market share of 43%. The fact that the five months of this year are almost equal to a complete 2024 shows rapid progress.
