Did Fender ever make any CAR Mustangs?

Firstly, welcome. Secondly, yes. Fender make pretty much every guitar in this colour. In a way, I'm pretty happy that I don't like it more as a colour. Fender's constantly boring stock colours for most models have stopped me giving them a shitload of money over the years.

Would it be safe to say most red vintage Mustangs are Dakota... and RI Mustang being Fiesta?

Could be wrong on this, but I think the competition series (both original & reissue) are CAR, as are the Pawnshop ones with the WRHBs.

is that CAR? isn't it dakota red or something like that?

They do everything in car, black and sunburst, so i'm sure they did/do a car mustang

Yop.

Outside of Compstangs and reissues, and Pawnshop Mustangs (both of which were available in CAR, although it was called "Competition Red" on the compstang), and the Fiesta Red Kurt Cobain Mustangs and a few MIJ / CIJ Mustangs that usually don't get imported to the USA in any large numbers, the vast majority of "red" Mustangs are officially called just that - "red." Mustangs were originally available in Red (basically Dakota Red), white (Olympic White), and Blue (Daphne Blue). The current 65 Mustang reissue is available in the three original colors.
