Mustang II History

Mustang II History

1974 was a sad year for Ford Mustang enthusiasts. With no v8 option and no convertible option, Ford Mustang sales went down, and the nation was being choked in the ever-strong grips of the oil crisis. The less powerful four-cylinder and V6 models were the engine options, and the mustang powerhouse took a backseat for a few years.

A little more power is offered in 1975 with the reinstatement of the V8. The same Mustang would be produced for three years in a row with virtually no changes whatsoever to cut down on production costs to make the consumer more able to buy the once sporty Mustang. Though underpowered, this V8 allowed Ford to maintain a healthy relationship with its customers, and hope was just around the corner.
