The news is in, and it's the kind of news I like to hear. Yesterday Ford reported Mustang sales were up 62 percent in December when compared to last year's figures.
This December Ford sold 6,527 Mustangs. In December of 2008 Ford sold 4,027. Not bad, all things considered. Heck, in November of this year Ford only sold 3,627 Mustangs. December turned out to be a great sales month for the company. In all, Ford sold a total of 66,623 Mustangs in 2009.
What about the Camaro you ask? Well, get this. Chevrolet sold 61,618 of the cars in 2009. But wait, in all fairness, the Camaro was only available for nine months out of the year. Ford's Mustang, which has been in production since 1964, logged sales figures for 12 months. All-in-all, it's likely things would have been different had the Camaro been on the market for the entire year. But hey, no need to look a gift horse in the mouth! One thing's for sure. With a 412 hp 5.0 GT in the upcoming 2011 lineup, and a 305 hp V6 Mustang on the way, things are sure to get interesting. I think things will really begin to turn around for the Mustang in the coming months.
As for the Challenger, Dodge sold 25,852 in 2009. This was a 48 percent increase over 2008 when the company sold 17,423 of the cars. This past December Dodge sold 2,536.
