Ford (US) Mustang II 140
(1974 - 1978)
Car articles about Ford (US) Mustang II 140 by year
The Ford Mustang is probably the best-known American sports car, even though it is not actually a sports car at all. It is repeatedly voted the most popular American classic and every child knows it. In 2014, the series Mustang will be 50 years old and this will be celebrated with the sixth edition, reason enough to take a closer look at the previous five generations. This report shows all Mustang models to date, describes special features and shows the vehicles in many pictures.
From 1974 to 1977, Ford built the Capri II, which had slightly more space than its predecessor, but above all a larger trunk that was easier to access thanks to the rear hatch. Auto Revue tested a 1.3-liter version, which clearly lagged behind the sporty look in terms of performance. This article reproduces the newly edited original text and is illustrated with historical images and a sales brochure from the time.
Five mid-range coupés from four countries were compared by the magazine 'hobby' in 1975: Toyota Celica, Ford Capri II, Renault R15, Fiat 128 SL and VW Scirocco. And the question was whether the beauty of the cars would win out over their reduced utility value. This carefully edited original comparison test from 1975 reproduces the text and findings and is illustrated with many additional archive images.
To this day, the Ford Capri is one of the best-known cars of modern times, even though more than 30 years have passed since the last model was built. With almost 1.9 million vehicles produced, the Capri is also one of the most successful cars of its kind. The sports coupé was never really powerful ex works, but those who wanted more power found it with Michael May. His turbocharger turned 108 hp into 180 horsepower. This driving report describes the Ford Capri II including the May turbocharger and shows it in many historical and current pictures. Sales literature and a sound sample round off the article.
