We were discussing mustangs, weren't we?

That is a Mustang "Lite"

A friend of my parents had one of those. The guy across the street back in high school had one in that shade of blue without the vinyl top but I forget what wheels his had.

Paul Harvey Ford was not far from us growing up.
They were a performance ford dealer.
You would see any number of drag cars in there. They campaigned a real Thunderbolt and a lite weight full size Fairlane back in the day.
AC Cobras, Shelby's, saw my 1st 429 boss in the showroom there.
Stopped in for a casual walk around to see what was new and there sat the dumbest thing I have ever seen Ford put out past the Pinto..............The Mustang II

What an absolute turd.

Nonsense, I'll find one perfectly rust free. There's got to be a grandma mobile out there with like 10k miles, 4 cylinder, auto, baby crap green with a brown interior.

I have a love hate with the 3rd gens. I love to hate them, but it's hard to do sometimes... They can be neat and I think are a great platform to build on.
