Coupe

Hatchback

In 1975, the Mustang II returned with a few changes. The hood was longer, and the engine compartment was modified to accommodate the large 5.0L V8 engine. This engine consumed gas quickly, so much so that the optional 3.5-gallon auxiliary gas tank came standard with the 5.0L V8 engine. The grille was larger with an egg-crate type mesh that was nearly flush with the grille opening2. All V8s came with an automatic transmission, while the V6s were manually shifted.

The Ghia optioned coupe came with a half vinyl roof, rear side opera windows, full-length body-side tape stripes, stand-up hood ornament, media velour cloth seats, and center console. Also available was a Luxury Interior Group, which was a subset of the Ghia options and similar to those offered in the 1974 Ghia package. A manually operated silver glass moonroof and a regular manual sunroof were also available. The popular 1974 Rallye package was also available for the 2.8L V6 or 5.0L V8. New cast aluminum spoked wheels were available along with popular styled steel and forged aluminum wheels.

Engine Data (compare years, see more 1975 performance information)

Gross Horsepower was measured using a blueprinted test engine running on a stand without accessories, mufflers, or emissions control devices. In 1971-2 automakers began to specify power in terms of SAE Net Horsepower (as defined by standard J1349). Net Horsepower is measured with the engine in "as-installed trim", with all accessories and standard intake and exhaust systems. This was done to reduce the advertised power for insurance rates and to account for different approaches to emission reduction equipment.
