Found on HometownSource - Ask a Trooper:

There are no height or weight requirements, and it is legal for anyone of any age to sit in the front seat (except an infant in a rear-facing infant seat) in front of an airbag, so yes. However, nationally, we don't recommend that any child under the age of 13 sit in the front seat of any vehicle, even if there is no airbag, but especially if there is one.

As for the Mustang, seat belts are not required to be in any motor vehicle manufactured before Jan. 1, 1965, so assuming that your Mustang was manufactured before that date, seat belts would not be required. (He would be legal, but not safe). Sgt. Curt S. Mowers

Children must be at least eight years old or be at least four feet, nine inches tall in order to just use a seat belt when riding in a car. But it is up to the licensed driver because he/she is responsible for any passengers under 18 years of age.
