First of all, I HATE GEN 2 MUSTANGS.
But for some reason... And i don't know why...
This is like the perfect combination of Paleofuturistic and Hyper Modern in a car. All it needs is Mercedes' accent lighting on the interior.
I MUST make!

So 71 Fastbacks don't count as gen 2? Srs question..
I was under the impression after 1970 was Gen 2.

nope, the mustang II is the second generation. Those cars are just redesigns.

It was tweaked enough by that point it really resembled Fairlane underpinnings a bit more, but still. Here's a neat article on it in general:

I like the fat Mustangs, but I admit they're not for everyone, and include more than a little bad taste.

Fox platform ran from 1979-2004 virtually unchanged underneath...There was more evolution under a 65-73 Mustang then a 79-04.

Most people split Mustangs into the now 6 generations, but I'm not a fan of that. They're too many intricacies in the refreshes and model designs to sweep them into such broad
I think there are total of 9 'groupings' based on body size and engine selection, with the only split I have on where to put the '69 and '70 since each could go either into first or second groupings.
1 = 1964.5-1969: Original Group; lighter, using Windsor and FE engines, fastbacks, Shelby performance
2 = 1970-1973: the Mustang Grows Group; heavier, using Cleveland and 385 engines, Sportsroof©, Ford (Boss) performance
3 = 1974-1978: the Pinto Group; new Pinto chassis, using Lima, Cologne, and later Windsor engines, no more convertibles
4 = 1979-1986: the Return Group; new Fox chassis, using Lima, Essex, and Windsor engines, integration of electronic fuel injection, quad light styling and t-tops available
5 = 1987-1993: the Top Fox Group; same chassis, improvement to the Lima and Windsor engines increase performance (V6 is dropped), standardization of fuel injection, 8.8 in. rear end, twin light styling
6 = 1994-2004: the New Fox/Edge group; new Fox-4 body, reintroduction of Essex V6 while the Lima I4 is dropped, Windsor is phased out for the Modular V8, SN-95 styling, SVT performance
7 = 2005-2010: the Retro Group; new S-197 platform, Cologne and Modular engines, retro styling with open grills and flatter panels, SVT performance with Shelby naming
8 = 2011-2014: the Tech Group; same S-197 platform, Duratec and Coyote engines, slight curving of the retro style, heavy integration of technology in standard features, return of Boss naming for Ford performance
9 = 2015-####: ??????; ERROR: NO LIVE AXLE; DOES NOT COMPUTE
