no. they have few if any safety features and they were built as cheap sporty looking cars that go fast and disintegrate on impact.
To cut down the development cost and achieve a suggested retail price of US$2,368, the Mustang was based heavily on familiar yet simple components. Much of the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components were derived from the Ford Falcon and Fairlane.
people who are saying they want to be surrounded by steel are just being silly. for one thing the mustang was a small car and secondly you want the shock of a collision to be absorbed by the car, not the occupants and it is a safe car as long as you don't hit anything. |

A better question is are you a good, safe driver? Use your seat belt and obey safe driving laws and you should be just fine in any car. |

The cars are safe enough, its the drivers who are unsafe. |

Not related to the cars you refereed to here but to tell you my sister T-Boned a 1985 Lin con cognitional @ 55 MPH In a 1972 Nova She was wearing the lap belt (the only option for that car) She ate the steering Wheel. Lost all her front teeth. Cracked her knees and was lucky to be alive.... The driver was in the wrong (he was drunk) Sooooo it parable saved her life. BUT American steele VS American steele. Its dangerous. |

Ford Mustang came out 1964 & 1/2 years ago and all the corner are made of zinc metal. They are fast car and equip with small blocks V8 cylinder engine. I have one of them before and so far it is a good safe car. |

Rather drive a steel car than a plastic one like todays models. |

yes. the good old cars are made of STEEL. the new cars are nothing but tin,plastic,and dynamite be hind a sheet otherwise know as air bags. and airbags have been known to kill people and hurt people. the other thing is the abs system witch is a bunch of extra junk added to a car that people don't need. because no matter what people are always going to panic when a car starts sliding, or when they do see a accident going to happening. |

Yes, as long as they are kept in good repair.
Like all other cars, don't crash and you will be fine.
The older ones were NOT uni-body, they were body-on-frame.
The mid-70s Mustang II was uni-body (and they would float).

In my opinion they are safer than the cars manufactured to-day, because they have a real frame made from steel, not some stamped sheet-metal unibody. On the other hand they are only as safe as the driver and his/her ability and attention to the job at hand. |
