Publicity Photograph of the 1974 Ford Mustang II
Add to SetSummary
Measuring 19 inches shorter than its 1973 predecessor, the 1974 Mustang II returned the pony car to its compact roots. Ford advertised it as "the right car at the right time," and Mustang II's fuel-friendly inline-4 and V-6 engines were well suited to rising gas prices. The design remained in production through 1978, with an optional V-8 added for 1975.
