I got 27 highway in my 63 Valiant on POS $10 recap bias ply tires. 170 CI slant 6 with a 3 speed column shift. Those Mustangs, Falcons, and Valiants were very light cars. The 64 Mustang was advertised at $1 a pound, 2395 pounds, $2395 new. That's not much more than the lightest new cars you can buy, and very close to the first 70 240Z.
