The modified pinto platform of the Mustang II was a much better handler.

Car was a blast!
But the Monza Spyder with 305 and 4 speed was much better.
Doubt it, and I'm not a Ford guy. Cant beat the front suspension on the Mustang II
Its used today for almost all Resto rods. NO Garbage Struts.
Plus, I made my own "Monza" I put a Don Hardy V8 kit in a '74 Vega GT,
300 HP 327, partial fender well headers and TH350 - all back in the late 70's.
Fun but Big Mistake overall.
Should have done a Turbo or breathed on Iron Duke 2.5 instead
Very ironic! My brother and I built a V8 Vega using the Hooker kit in '78-79. Put a '68 327 out of a station wagon into a '72 Vega GT. We didn't do it expecting a good handling car. We were only interested in straight line.
