The Mustang II was much more inline with the original 1965 Mustang.
By 1973, the Pony Car had morphed into a cow. Putting on hundreds of pounds and resembling a Torino more than a real Mustang.
Still a nice car though. I'm not knocking it.

I saw an awful lot more basic ugly versions, than nice suped up ones.
Check the photo I posted. Thats not what I’m talking about.
I've always thought the vintage Mustangs peaked with the '69/'70 body style. Ford missed the boat on the retro-styled models in 2005 or so, when they offered a "California Special" model but not one with Mach 1 trim. The '69/'70 design was clearly the inspiration for that new car, but the company didn't fully exploit the idea.
I don't recall specifically disliking the '71-'73 cars, but I agree with your assessment. There was more to like in the Maverick, especially the 2-door Grabber model.
My first new car. Sharp car, but because of idiotic environment regs, horsepower was seriously lacking.
