garysssAlmost twice the number of Camaro's.
ALLEY CATThere were 22,000 Mustangs sold the first day of release...

I worked with a co-worker who once worked at that San Jose Mustang plant during '64-'65. That plant went 24/7 non-stop to keep up with 'Stang orders. He told me that there were two mechanical techs at the end of the production line, and when a finished Mustang reached the end of the line and wouldn't start......the techs had 5 minutes to get it running and moved. If they couldn't get the car started it went directly to the crusher. The production line couldn't be held up due to a car that wouldn't start or run. Demand was that great for the new FORD Pony car.....thanks in part to Lee A. Iacocca

garysssNow I want to know how many went to the crusher?
ALLEY CATGary,,, I was told a few went to the 'crusher' during each shift change You would think that to be very costly, but with overwhelming number of orders to fill and a large amount of human labor in those days,,,, standing around doing nothing.....guess that was an acceptable situation? Old man Henry Ford rolled a few 360's in his grave box I'd bet...
quincyInteresting tidbit of tribal knowledge from the auto industry.

GM pulled random vehicles off the assembly line for various durability tests and build quality verification. Some were air chiseled apart to verify proper structure.

Others were ran thru various durability tests at the Milford Proving Grounds.

All these vehicles could not be sold as new. And, because they were 'violated' (holes drilled in fire walls for instrumentation, etc.) These vehicles went to the shredder never to be seen again! Its costly yes, but it helps to validate your engineering processes and design.

I would bet that Ford and Chrysler do the same thing.....

garysssUsing new car for testing is normal. Crushing 4-6 a day because they couldn't start them in 5 minutes is crazy wasteful. Push them to the side parking lot, sell them to employees for reduced price, anything but crusher
Landscape DoctorNever knew they crushed that many cars.
