Ford’s epic Mustang came at a time when automotive cheer was at an all-time high. Gas prices were relatively low, automakers were churning out exciting models with excellent performance, V8s dominated the market, and bigger was considered better. Then came the Malaise Era of the seventies. With high gas prices and tightening emission regulations, automakers scrambled to cope. Ford, in particular, faced a challenge, as the Mustang needed a comprehensive do-over. Hence, they debuted the second generation, also called the Mustang II n 1974. Sitting on a smaller platform, the Mustang II was over 400 pounds lighter than the first-generation Mustang, as well as a foot and a half shorter. It was available as a coupe or a hatchback. If you’re interested in a Mustang II, check out this Colorado-based 1974 Ford Mustang II Mach 2 for sale with us. It’s done 71,000 miles so far, and is an excellent reminder of how adaptable American industry can be when faced with adversity.
Coming in a sleek silver suit, this 1974 Ford Mustang II Mach 2 is a coupe variant, and looks lovely despite the downsized exterior in comparison to a first-generation Mustang. Despite the downsizing, this still looks like a worthy pony car. Silver wheel covers, ample chrome accents, and that iconic Mustang motif on the grille all keep things in check. The interior of this 1974 Ford Mustang II Mach 2 features black leather upholstered seating and some wood trim because Mustangs could be had with a touch of luxury, too. It’s a veritable seventies time capsule and appears largely stock as far as we can see. The wood accents extend to the gear shifter and handbrake lever handles, too. Pop the trunk and there’s a decent load space with a spare tire too, a rarity in modern cars.
This 1974 Ford Mustang II Mach 2 uses a downsized 2.3-liter carbureted 4-cylinder engine. This Ford Lima unit was the smallest available in the Mustang II hierarchy, but remember that the car was also significantly lighter. While it’s not a dragstrip king, the automatic transmission means that it can still get out of its own way.

Ten years after the iconic first generation of the Ford Mustang was introduced, Ford released the second generation in 1974. Called the Mustang II, the second generation arrived just as the oil crisis and Malaise Era were commencing. Undeterred, Ford decided to position the Mustang II as a new kind of pony car, one that was aimed at the era of gas shortages and high fuel prices. The Mustang II was made for just four years and sold in excess of 1.1 million units. Today, it is considered not just a mere curio, but an example of the adaptability of American automakers in the face of adverse external conditions. That’s why you’ll be glad to hear that this particular 1977 Ford Mustang II Ghia is for sale in New York with less than 40,000 miles on the clock. It’s also got the Ghia Package, denoting it as a luxury variant.
Looking back at the 70s, memories of good music, times and great cars come to mind, but for those who lived during that time a dark shadow loomed and ensured America as a nation come to a halt. The oil crisis of the 70s sure changed the automotive world, manufacturers realized that large cars with gas-guzzling engines were a thing of the past, and new car buyers wanted a small and efficient way of getting about. After becoming the president of the Ford Motor company in 1970, Lee Iacocca immediately got to work on making the legendary Mustang smaller and suited to modern tastes. The Ford Mustang II was the end product. Lee Iacocca's exceptional vision coincided with the fuel crisis and the Ford Mustang 2 sold well and kept the Mustang marque running for another day. It was a complete change-up but worked well. While it sold well finding a good example today has become increasingly tough and that's what makes this clean 1974 Ford Mustang Mach 2 we have today a rare pony. With a reported 69,421 miles on the clock this unlikely hero is an underappreciated survivor and also comes with a car cover included in the sale.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability.

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
