As far as the consumer is concerned, the history of the great Ford Mustang GT rims began when it was shown to the public at New York’s World Exhibition. In the early 1960s, Ford desperately needed a new car to compete with the sporty Chevrolet Corsair Monza, and its first attempt, the Falcon Future, failed to compete.

A brand new car was needed, and the idea for the Mustang GT rims was born. Later to be called the 1964 1/2, the original Mustang GT rims was available as a convertible and as a coupe, both with chrome wrap-around fenders, the distinctive chrome grill with running pony, and a lengthened hood. It has sold a million by 1966, although before that the GT and fastback model had been introduced.

It was the Corvette, however, that brought the Mustang GT rims into the road racing arena. The Mustang GT rims was so popular, especially with the young, that Ford were desperate to race it against the Corvette. During the early 1970s the Mustang GT rims lost its way a bit and became a bit too big and unwieldy.

The Mustang GT rims II was introduced in 1974, and although it was small and vastly underpowered, it takes its place in the history of the car because it brought to a halt the drop in sales. The new Mustang GT rims was available as a coup’ or fastback with a bit more room inside than the either the original or the ill fated Mustang GT rims II.

It no longer resembled a Mustang GT rims! The fans were wrong, however, and development continued as the Mustang GT rims conformed with the coming of fuel injection, air bags and other essential improvements, though the original concept had completely disappeared. The newest Mustang GT rims has reverted to some of the original features, and it is a miracle that the car has survived so long.

Nobody involved in 1962 development team would have believed that the great Ford Mustang GT rims would still be around 45 years later.
