Yep, look down. Mine did the same but it was older.

That's because your photo isn't a Mustang, it's a . . .

SierraCoug

If there had been a Mustang I available at the same time

kccougar

The Mustang II is a horrible blemish on the otherwise respectable muscle car

workindev

2/25/13 1:12pm

With very few exceptions, the mid to late 70s was a horrible blight on American

SierraCoug

2/25/13 1:15pm

Yup, and the Mustang II was the epitome of it

workindev

2/25/13 1:19pm

I didn't like the 71 or 72 Mustang either. The last good year was 1970 IMHO.
