==Split "Racing" into new list-type article==
There's easily enough info here for it to be its own article, and it's written with the prose of a list versus that of a proper article.  I think it'd be nice to move this material into its own article called something like "List of Ford Mustang racing victories" (or "racing titles").
If moved, there should at least be paragraph or two in this article to give an overview of the racing history with a "See also" tag in it. --[[User:Xiaphias|Xiaphias]] ([[User talk:Xiaphias|talk]]) 21:08, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
:There does not appear to be any support for this. I cannot see a reason per [[WP:Split]] to split this article at this time. [[User:Op47|Op47]] ([[User talk:Op47|talk]]) 21:33, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

==Move discussion in progress==
There is a move discussion in progress on [[Talk:Mustang (disambiguation)#Requested move 12 January 2015 |Talk:Mustang (disambiguation)]] which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 18:23, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

In particular, trying to go to the [[Mustang]] disambiguation page now takes one straight to the [[Mustang (horse)]] article; that is, the horse editors have claimed that their article is primarytopic, at a discussion that was not advertised to editors of the various car, airplane, and city articles affected, and was also not advertised as [[WP:RM]] as is standard.  This notice is an attempt to get wider participation from editors of affected articles, but so far it has not.  [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 18:25, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

== ubl vs br ==

{{user|Davey2010}} and myself have a difference of opinion over whether <nowiki>{{ubl}}</nowiki> or <nowiki><br></nowiki> is better. Can others chime in on which they prefer:
<pre>
<nowiki>
| designer       = {{ubl
  | [[John Najjar]]
  | [[Philip T. Clark]]
  | [[Joe Oros]]
  }}
| class          = {{ubl
  | [[Pony car]]
  | [[Muscle car]]<!-- only some versions could be called "muscle" -->
  }}
</nowiki>
</pre>
vs
<pre>
<nowiki>
| designer       = [[John Najjar]] <br>[[Philip T. Clark]] <br>[[Joe Oros]]
| class          = [[Pony car]]<br>[[Muscle car]]<!-- only some versions could be called "muscle" -->
</nowiki>
</pre>
Both render the same to readers. I prefer the ubl version because it clearly puts one item per line, making it much easier for editors to see the individual items. Whereas the br version packs it all in tightly, making it hard to see where the division are or even to see how many items are even there. Also, <nowiki>{{unbulleted list}}</nowiki> (a synonym of ubl) is already used in the article just below where I inserted ubl. <span style="border:1px solid blue;border-radius:4px;color:blue;box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px grey;">[[User:Stepho-wrs|'''&nbsp;Stepho&nbsp;''']]&nbsp;<span style="font-size:xx-small; vertical-align:top">[[User Talk:Stepho-wrs|talk]]&nbsp;</span></span> 13:57, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

:You can add a break after the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> so it would show as a seperate line in edit mode however for convenience most leave it as for instance <nowiki>[[UK]]<br>[[USA]]</nowiki>,
:The br code is common on most articles and is more easy for editors to understand I guess,
:That being said if consensus ''is'' to use the templated version than I won't object,

== Ford Mustang Estate Wagon ==

In Amsterdam The Netherlands, they produced the Mustang Estate wagon, working on a Amsterdam Ford wiki items now, what can we say here, the Estate Wagon is missing now, in the 1968 model sold till 1975?  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A02:A452:7D4C:1:7C34:E37A:1C41:CF72|2A02:A452:7D4C:1:7C34:E37A:1C41:CF72]] ([[User talk:2A02:A452:7D4C:1:7C34:E37A:1C41:CF72#top|talk]]) 07:50, 12 May 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Year change if possible to 1964.5 ==

The 1964 mustang was referred to 1964 and a half because of what time of year it came out. [[User:Loganscoggins420|Loganscoggins420]] ([[User talk:Loganscoggins420|talk]]) 10:08, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

:Mustangs that are often referred to as 1964½ were all registered as 1965 model year vehicles (note: the 1965 model can be any range of dates that includes Jan 1, 1965). The [[Ford Mustang#Non-traditional (1964½) introduction]] section details this.

== Not to be confused with gas powered SUV of the same name and Ford Mustang Mach-E electric crossover vehicle ==

There's merit to {{confused|Ford Mustang Mach-E}} because it's a completely separate vehicle. An alternative would be to put a several inch description of equal size to the pony car, which I wouldn't think is appropriate.

About 15 years ago, there was a SUV sold in the UK called the Ford Mustang. It looked like the Escape but I'm not sure what the model was called in the United States.

== Mach-E is unrelated... and yet has a section on this article ==

Hello! I noticed at the top of the article, it says "For unrelated battery-powered crossover see [[Ford Mustang Mach-E]]"... however the keyword here is "Unrelated". If it were actually unrelated then why would it have a section on this article? I don't get it. This article is about the Ford Mustang. The Mach-E is supposedly unrelated and yet it has a section dedicated to it on this article that even says it's unrelated. So could I get an explanation as to why it's even included? ― [[User:Blaze Wolf|<b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze&nbsp;Wolf</b>]][[User talk:Blaze Wolf|<sup>Talk</sup>]]<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze&nbsp;Wolf#6545</sub> 18:47, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
