Had the 1974 Mustang not had been successful, it's likely there wouldn't be any Mustangs today. The Car the saved the Mustang.

I find it hard to think of the Mustang II as a fancy and elegant car, because I remember seeing so many beater examples.

I don’t think the Mustang II gets the respect it deserves. They sold very well. And the 302 offered in 1975-1978 was basically the same as the one offered in the early fox body Mustang . In fact the fox body had the same 4 cylinder and v6 engine choices as the Mustang II.

This truly was a secretary’s car. The original was called that but this one embodied it. No V8 until 1975 and even then limited to a two barrel. I know towards the end it received some performance options but it was no longer competition to a Trans Am or even a 350 LT Camaro. I guess at that price level it would have been a good import fighter, like the Celica . Dimensionally as well.

They removed the word "performance", and replaced it with "luxury". 😆 Still, a popular and decent car.
