Modern fans might find the Mustang II undersized and underpowered. But its specifications were typical for the mid-1970s into the mid-1980s, when American automakers struggled with new safety, efficiency and emissions requirements, and against growing competition from high-quality foreign cars. Regardless, buyers embraced the smaller Mustang II and Ford sold more than 1.1 million of them from 1974-1978.
