Great link, some of those are new to me.

Don't know why some of the cars mentioned din't have photos with them. Example below.

1974 Ford Mustang Sportiva II

The Mustang II Organization

Fun Stuff..thanks. I'm not "in love" with my Mustang, but I do like it. It's a good enough car that does nothing in a spectacular manner, but everything well. 29,000 miles so far with only by the book service, a set of new tires, a new battery, and wipers replaced. Not bad for over 10 years.

How does it perform? Crazy as it may sound...based on reading a Car & Driver Data sheet when they tested the then new '08 Bullitt 'Stang, and Road & Track's test report on the then new '67 427 with three twos...it drives out like a 427 'Vette.

Another car from the article missing a photo.

Ford Mustang RSX (1979)

I guess the younger guys at the Ford design studio really like Bertone (1968) at the time.

The first 911 and the first Mustang arrived at the same time. What? 54 years or so?
