As a kid, I remember thinking that the Mustang II looked cool. I still think that it looks better than a '72 or '73 mustang. I really did not like the front end after '69 or 70, I think.

I had a buddy that had one in the early 90s. His was a V-6. I rode in his car once or twice. It was shocking how bad it was. They look like they should be sporty, and they came with a big engine for such a small car. From what I've heard, the V8 versions were even worse than the V6 because they still didn't have much power, but the V8 was heavier and made the handling even worse (handled like an old truck).

It's funny how similar the older Monza looked. It's another car that was small and came with a V8, but was about as far from a muscle car as is possible.
