It was a long climb back up to the '82 GT and to to its glory days image but the II was a decent reset button.
Got another?
You know the F-body almost went FWD for '80 and the fact that the Fox RWD Mustang was going ahead gave GM the balls to hold off for a proper RWD F-body for '82 so you can sorta trace the '10 Camaro back to the humble Mustang II. Without its success,no Fox and a FWD Camaro for 1980...........so suck it.
Also,the future 4th gen F-body gave Ford the balls not to kill the Mustang and give us the SN95......damn,why do we even fight.......these cars need each other.......
