Interesting but not necessary:
This book has alot of information/data but none of it is useful unless you need specific concourse part numbers, etc. Even so, the diagrams are jumbled several to a page making them virtually unreadable and hiding any detail you might be looking for such as how exactly the 1968 headlight bucket attaches to the fender/grill (just as an example). If you need detailed, specific information, it would be best for you to purchase your car's make/model/year factory service manual. The most irritating issue I have... more info
A good reference manual but not a "How to" book.:
As long as you realize this book provides all the nitty gritty details of a Mustang, you should be happy with it.

There is not much verbiage so this will not give you the "tricks" to put things together but should be a good supplement to other books.
Great Guide--skimpy on 1971-1973:

Since the motive power for a... more info
Mustang 1964 1/2-1973 Restoration Guide:
Gives you good information about model development, and original and optional equipment and modifications. Good photgraphs. Good description of essential parts by model year. The exploded line drawings give you a general impression of the build and parts, but they are not adequate for do-it-yourself projects. I miss information about function (i.e. ventilation or heater regulation) and about fluids (oil, cooler etc.)
