1979 Ford Mustang Production & Sales Numbers

The third-generation (TGM) was a complete departure from previous Mustangs when it arrived in 1979. As usual, you cannot please everyone but the haters were clearly few because in its first year of production the third generation Mustang sold 369,936 units, up 92% versus the last year of the Mustang II. The typical first year of new generation bump was now becoming a consistent behavior for Ford.
