12: 1965 Ford Mustang 289 HiPo
The 1965 Ford Mustang 289 HiPo stood out from the crowd with a high-performance design. The 289 CI V8 made the Mustang 289 handle twists and turns with authority. But it was on the straightaway that this car shined. Mustangs in general around this time were still new. The 289 HiPo did quite well for a performance vehicle.

Styling was kept pretty modest and the interior had a no-frills design. But that’s what people loved about the Mustang from this period. It was just plain fun to drive at a time when cars weren’t too fun overall.
