Which '76? (7/10/2021)

No thank you.  

If I had to choose I’d prefer the firebird.

Firebird by a mile.  This era Mustang, especially the Cobra, was somewhat of a joke IMHO.

That Mustang Ii just does not cut it for me although the Brits loved it on their narrow winding roads. I'm not sure if their import version had a more tuned suspension but it seemed like it. I'll choose the Firebird but their best engine in my opinion was the 1967 to 69 Single overhead cam six.

Firebird for me. The best thing about Mustang IIs are their front suspensions.

For me, it would depend on the drivetrain. But, going by appearance, nothing screams "Decal-based, pseudo-seventies-performance" like an outrageous hood graphic or stripes. I'm going with the Cobra!

I like the Firebird. I'm not a fan of this generation of Mustangs, either.

This is another "neither car really moves me" selection.  If was forced at gun point to choose one over the other though, the FIREBIRD would get the nod.  

Although the Mustang has all of the bells and whistles of a super car, it wasn't. 

But I drove one for a while and it was a fun car to be in.  It FELT powerful and fast just because of the 302ci V-8, the tuned mufflers and the four speed transmission.  With a little work it could have been a contender.

Firebird. I liked the 70-73 better than the 74-76 "shovel-nosed" front end but this Formula with it's twin-scooped hood looks great. 

Don't care for any of these cars.  The Pontiac for looks give me the'77 - '78 with the V front treatment but I definitely would not buy any of them.  

The 302 motor produced a whopping 122 HP thanks to government oversight.

Firebird, NO contest..
