Hey I personally love the Mustang II, especially the King Cobra models. However I can't pass up the opportunity to use the Mustang II as ammo against the "real Mustang" lovers out there.
As for the Mustang II selling well, I will agree that yes, the first year was outstanding as far as sales. However If you'd like to see the combined Camaro/Firebird numbers for '74-'78, I think you'd be a little disheartened by the Mustang II's production run. To put it simply, Camaro and Firebird owned the seventies, and sold very strongly throughout its lifespan except for a few rough spots, namely '72-73, '88-91, and finally, late in the fourth generation model. Every car is like this, there are ups and downs, and the longer the lifespan of a car, the more apparant the lapses in greatness are.
