1970s Cars That Deserve More Credit Than They Get

Ford Mustang Cobra II

The Mustang II is probably the most overlooked and under-appreciated Mustang ever built. The Pinto-based Mustang suffered the wrath of being associated with such a lackluster car. The dramatic downsizing of the vehicle was also a sore point for enthusiasts. But there were a few special editions of the car that were worth noting such as the Cobra II, which is quite the collector’s car (via Motor Trend).

The Mustang II was very similar in size and design to the Chevy Vega, although the two cars were competing in different segments. The V8 engine and the compact size were overlooked at the time it was new, but the Mustang II is one of the most notable cars from the era. With a little bit of work, the Mustang II can be made into a stellar classic car that has a lot of potential and a cool-looking aesthetic.
