The Mustang II was the worst, least collectable, least cool car that ever was a pony car. This is no muscle car. This thing was a dumpster with a motor, and should be treated as such. The V8 is the performance model, the I4 is not car off, and V6 was a mistake. They got rid of it 5 years later, and for good reason, the 6 banger was the luxery coupe. I can't see why a luxery coupe wouldn't be attactive with a punk kid attitude of the ruststang 2 to it.
Look this car was so behind, any chevy would eat it alive. This is the darkest day for Ford in history. Bad products, worse performance. Soon the mustang would be given a second chance with the 79 Fox body. So this was the darkest year to me, before it got lighter. If you want a Mustang look at 71 back, or 79 up. The performance was almost not there at all. The 139hp brings it to 60 in the time a fast car does the quartermile. I mean like 12 secs. Just steer clear, Thanks all I can say. The interior is cramped, the whole interior is cheep. 1978 is the last year of the Crapstang 2.
