Ford Mustang Insurance

Since its inception in 1964, the Ford Mustang has become an internationally recognized icon and flagship brand for Ford. In 1965 it captured the hearts of the critics and captured the Tiffany Gold Medal for Excellence in American Design, the first automobile to receive the award. It subsequently captured Car and Driver's "Ten Best" recognition in 1983, 1987, 1988, 2005, and 2006. It also won the Motor Trend Car of the Year award in 1974 and 1994.

In addition to its excellent design and long-standing run in sales, the Ford Mustang has also become an exemplar in safety, handling, and insurance costs. Despite its reputation as a reckless driver's "dream car," much has changed since its inception, and insurance companies have noted the Ford Mustang's excellent safety record in crash tests, as well as the low cost of replacing a Ford Mustang, which averages an MSRP of around $13,000 to $20,400 for the 2009 model, according to Automobile Magazine.

Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on all Mustangs. Antilock brakes and traction control are optional on the V6 models and standard on the GT. A stability control system is not offered.
