...the mustang sucked because a woman was in on the commitee on what the 74 mustang would look like. she was one of the engineers wives and she owned a 65. she said to the board that the mustang went from a small sporty compact, to a chevelle sized beast! and that it got away from the original mustang idea, thus the mustang II was born...

I don't know where you dug up that urban myth, but the Mustang II was on the drawing board in the early 1970s. To suggest that "some woman" said the Mustang was too big in '73 and the designs were approved (for the II) and production was begun all within a year is just silly.

Who was the guy who brought Larry Shinoda over so he could design the 70-73 msutangs? He also liked the cut off rear end treatment on the 71-73 and pushed for it.. he had internal troubles with other managers there, but he did some cool stuff at ford..
here is a Hint, he worked as GM of Pontiac when they went back to their roots and started building performance cars again..
