In 1968 Mattel entered the diecast toy vehicle market, competing against Matchbox and a few other smaller lines, and quickly became the most popular metal toy car in the world with its great looking and fast vehicles.
Today there are 16 new Hot Wheels cars sold across the globe every second, making it the most popular toy in the world!
In 1964 Ford unveiled the first of the greatest muscle cars ever made: the Ford Mustang.
This site is an attempt to create an accurate chronological list of all Ford Mustangs produced by Mattel in their Hot Wheels line; the greatest toy and the greatest car!

- Ebay.com (because seeing cars in their original packaging helps find correct years and other important information, just don't trust the year sellers list them as, since many unaware sellers go off the year stamped on the base as the year of release.
