In 72 they dropped from 360HP gross to just 224 net. Compression dropped from 11:1 to 8:1. 71 was the last good year for the 429/460 engines.

The Malaise era, when cars couldn't get out of their own way.

There will be no Fox themed 7G Mustangs. Might be a few small areas of similarity, but the car is based on the S550. It will be nothing like a Fox. BTW, "Rim" is just the outer edge of a wheel. There is also a center in a wheel. A wheel with a tire mounted is a wheel assembly. Someone had to say it.

16 seconds flat for the 68-71's. Still way better than the 74's 18.2 second quarter. To a 16 year old they were plenty of fun at the time. My 71 MKIII used to beat up on the new 83 Camaro Z28 & Mustang GT's too. Not that they were fast, nothing really was in 83.

All 223 HP/355TQ. I had a few of the 68/70 T-birds with 360HP/480Tq. They hustled those cars around pretty well.

Oil embargo didn't start until after the 73 Model year. It happened starting in October of 73, once the 74's were already on the lot. The oil embargo was perfect timing for the new downsized Mustang 2 though. Almost as if Ford had a crystal ball.

Except that actually says 2.3 on the fender.

After seeing the front end, I think I'll pass.

That would make sense.

Not me, I liked the 18 a lot more than the 15-17. That's why I finally bought one. But yes I've seen 50 years of the "ugly" new vehicle cycles.

Ford can do anything they want. I mean they did beat Ferrari at Lemans 3 years in a row, with a car that was quickly designed. Ferrari deserved that though.

She could've been sitting on a crushed car at a junkyard, and it wouldn't have mattered.

My GT did better than both of these bone stock with only 800 miles on it. And I weigh twice of what these guys do.

And the 35th was 1999, but it seems Ford turned that page with the 2015 to reflect the true model year.

Is Ford skipping MY 2023 now? Because last I heard, this was coming for model year 23.

60th anniversary should be the 2025. 50th was the 2015. The first cars were all titled as 65's, even though everyone calls them 64 1/2's.

This appears to be just an Ecoboost car.

Point being model years didn't always start in the fall. Carry on....

Sure it does, if you read the comment I was replying to.

The original Mustang came out in April of 1964. Nothing new here.
