Actually, the original Mustang was not really intended to be a
performance vehicle. A large percentage of the early models were 6
cyl. And the parts came largely from other models, like the Falcon and
Ranchero as I recall. S****ty? Yes. Performance? No.

So, if someone owns and original 6 cyl Mustang, with a bench seat, do
we say it's not a Mustang? Not a Pony car?

Just my 4.5 cents (inflation :0).
