The Mustang IIs used to make me ill but I could imagine living with one now.

Your getting soft in your old age...

However, I can see why.

40 years and several (model) generations later. The MPG is the same for the 1975 as a 2014.

1975 - 23 mpg city and 34 highway (unrevised EPA)

2014 - MPG: Up to 19 city, 31 highway


Performance is up of coarse but so is the price, nearly 6 times.

$3,800 compared to $22,500 (base)

Makes one wonder what it would do with a 5 speed OD, rv cam, LRR tires and 2.73's in the rear end...
