Pick your poison. What made these cars extra special was all of them were obtainable by the average person unlike todays versions that are priced out of sight. The Mach 1 Mustangs at the local Ford dealers today are priced over $60,000 dollars which is out of the reach of the average person.

Ah yes the Lee Iacocca led Ford that created this awful Mustang II, pretty much just a gussied up Pinto. The Mustang II was not a good handling car, lacked power and was ranked at or near the bottom of most review lists. While Ford sold a lot of these I can't remember the last time I saw a Mustang II on the street in the wild today, I see every other generation but no Mustang II's.

How about a little love for the car that turned the Mustang from a rebodied Ford Falcon into the first of a long line of Muscle Cars

@john3976 The best thing about a Mustang II was the front suspension. The reason you don't see these on the road was because they were terrible cars and most were junked. If you look underneath the majority of street rods today they have the front suspension on them.

@bob-jackman True, very true. Every now & then I'll see a nice one up for sale. Even the best examples don't garner much interest or money; I'm sure all that will change one day.

I hope not...

@100ford2003 "Time" makes everything collectible. Many "POS" cars form the 1970's & 1980's have been incrementally moving up in value. I see no reason to exclude Mustang IIs. Usually, "hot" car values can be attributed to makes/models 25-35 years old. This phenomenon occurs because guys can now afford the cars they longed for as youths....this demand increases values.

How many youths aspired to get a Mustang ll...not anyone I ever met.. lol.
I didn't even aspire to want a Ford Aspire..wink wink.
I tried to figure out just what that little car was aspiring to be when / if it ever grew up.

But I guess if the alternative was no Mustang at all or a solely 4-cylinder front-wheel-drive contraption, I agree with Chris and take this one until a more traditional Mustang came along a short time later.

.....it wasn't that long ago when you couldn't give away early 1970's Cadillacs. Early to mid 1980's Camaros & Firebirds didn't fare much better. Also, not that long ago, high-quality Prowlers would fetch c.$23,000 but not a penny more. I still remember when 1958 Chevys were laughed at, and good examples were dirt cheap. One day, Mustang IIs will find their place in the collector market, it's all but a mathematical certainty. 🤨 😐 🤨

I'll probably be long gone when that happens...
