It may be the red-headed step child of the Mustang family, but it was still a Mustang. Despite what people think of the '74-'78 models, they were a pretty popular car in their day. In fact, Ford
sold, not produced, 385,993 cars that first model year ('74). That's second all time in Mustang sales behind the twelve-month sales record of 418,812 units for the original Mustang.
The Mustang II also won Motor Trend's 1974 Car of the Year award, too. (Of course, that's not saying a whole lot as the Chevy Monza won the same award a year later.)
