The Seven Best Mustangs Ever, And Three Of The Worst

January 19, 2018

1974 Ford Mustang II Ghia

Now we enter the hall of shame, the Mustangs that let the side down, and we’ve got a truly enormous blooper to begin with. The Ford Mustang Ghia was not so much a mistep as a leap on to an aesthetic landmine. Let’s begin with the looks: with the Italian design house Ghia behind you, you’d think the result would be stunning, but what on earth is this? An ugly shape that screams more middle-manager than Mustang, it’s just so lackluster. It evolved from a Ford Pinto, and can’t you just tell?

That’s not even the worst part. It came out during the height of the oil crisis, and as such, its performance is astonishingly bad. It’s base model came with a 2.3 liter engine which crawled its way up to 60 mph in 15.1 seconds. This is not a Mustang. It’s a Pinto in a pantomime horse costume, attempting to masquerade its way into the cool muscle car parties. One of the most insulting cars from the darkest era for muscle cars.
