"During one 1961 performance on ABC’s Make That Spare, pro bowler Don Carter won $19,000 ($149,000 in 2014 dollars), and a brand new Ford Mustang."

Ford mustang wasn't introduced until 1964.

You're correct; the show did offer Ford Mustangs as a prize (in addition to cash), but not until 1964. Fixed! Thank you sir.

NP! it's not really a big deal, I'm just a mustang nerd. Great article.

So if you are a mustang nerd I have a question for you. Your choice of any mustang, year/color/trim/engine etc. Which one do you pick and why?

1966 coupe, with the 200 sprint, because that was the car I bought when I was 16 (although I didn't get to drive it until I was 17, because I had to fix it up).

Thanks for answering!

np, are you into mustangs, what's your favorite?

I'm a bit to young to have been driving the original mustangs but I am a Ford guy. If I were to get a mustang it would have to be manual no doubt. The 302 Boss has always appealed to me. I typically don't buy flashy stuff but in the case of the mustang I would go all out with the classic baby blue with black stripes or orange/red with black stripes.
