Yes and no, many of the parts come from other countries, and much of the final assembly occurs in Mexico and Canada.

The whole argument about whether vehicles are American made or not has become irrelevant over the last ten years or so. Many brands that we associate as American made have parts made in foreign countries or are assembled in foreign countries. Many brands we associate as foreign are made in America with parts made in America. Some brands we associate as foreign are owned by Americans, and vice-versa. Just find a vehicle you like and suits your needs and don't worry about what brand it is.
As for Fords, I have owned a few, and I have two Ford trucks I use at work as spray vehicles. They are tough and take a lot of abuse. We drive trucks where some people won't take an ATV. I have two fords and two gmc's, and they all take the abuse and come back for more. As for the Mustang, I like the body style they have now. Reminds me of the early 70's Mach 1's. Also like the Dodge Chargers and the Corvettes. Anyways, have a great day.

You should see the Super Chief, that is a ridiculous truck. Of course, Ford has subsidiaries all over the world, it's not a solely American company, for example, Jaguar is owned by Ford.
However, where the parts come from is irrelevant, they're cars released in the American market designed for the American road system, meeting the adequate standards to be properly registered in American states, so, they're real American vehicles.

In the most technical terms, what is really American anymore? One can argue the point about parts used in assembly coming from all around the globe. Or there's the point of where a car is assembled. Here's the kicker. Can any one person claim that they are truly American? Because we come from so many different ethnic backgrounds that there is no clear answer to the question. In one person's opinion the fact that I was born on U.S. soil that makes me American. While on the other hand someone else could say that due to all the different ancestral lines I have running through my veins I am not an American. So basically it doesn't matter what you drive as long as you enjoy driving it. It doesn't really matter where it was made. Take care.

Each company uses component parts from all over the world to build their vehicles. If you are concerned about final assembly point, check the first digit of the VIN. If it is a 1, the vehicle was built in the US, if a 2, Canada, and if a 3, it was built in Mexico. That will encompass most Ford vehicles.

Well I don't know if you can buy these particular models new in Australia but they are available from some used car dealers. You can bet the cost will be much more than in the USA. A second hand Ford Mustang Cobra 2004 is listed as $70,000AUD which is around $50,000US.

Even if it rolls off an assembly line in the US, the pieces used to assemble it come from just about anywhere. I had an 1983 Ford Ranger and I found "Made in Canada" labels all over it. My guess is that no car company anywhere in the world markets a vehicle built totally in their own country.

There are no more "real" American cars any more. Nor are there "real" Japanese or German cars either. Virtually all cars have components made all over the world. Even where the final assembly point is in the US, at least some of the components are foreign sourced.
