Already at the beginning of the official sales start on 17 April 1964 22,000 vehicles had been sold by the evening and by the end of the first model year there were exactly 680,992 Mustang. A sales record in the USA and also for Ford which only calculated with approx. 240,000 sold vehicles. However, the success was not due to the sophisticated advertising campaign. As later also in Germany usual, everybody could design his individual Pony Car, respectively his Mustang by a rich list of single extras and equipment packages. The result was either a leanly equipped six-cylinder model with 77 kW (105 PS) or a luxurious sports machine with V8 engine that could easily provide a racy gallop with a sweaty 199 kW (270 PS) under the hood.
The movie car from "Bullit" which first reappeared in 2018 in its original condition with the color "Highland Green" and interior "Black", the paint somewhat blown and also otherwise with a lot of pleasant patina, was offered for auction in 2020.

I have been practicing vintage car photography for more than 35 years and here I mainly photograph normal everyday vehicles which were still on the road en masse over 30 years ago. But also cars with extraordinary, beautiful design. From time to time I take pictures of cars, motorcycles and trucks of recent times, when they have particularly beautiful shapes, curves and somehow tempt to dream and drive like a BMW Z8. I find these automotive beauties not only in museums, but also in specialized workshops for vintage cars, with collectors who have invited me to photograph their classics or often in dark, dusty sheds and halls or simply parked at the roadside.
