>>I bought one of those used that looked almost exactly the same (no sunroof)as pictured. It was the biggest POS i’ve ever had to this day. Abandoned it after 6 months.
The Mustang II was a product of its time. If you bought it new, it was really no worse or better than any other American car of the same year. If you bought it much later when the Mustang GT had been reintroduced, then it does seem like a real POS. But, what it did do is keep the Mustang name alive during those dark years of American auto manufacturing, so I’m grateful they existed.
But you have to judge it in proper context. By every measure, a vintage 1965 Mustang is a slow, poor-handling, rattling POS compared to my 2016 Mustang GT. But, some virtues can’t be measured.
