Oh no no. Eleanor was a 71 Stang redid a bit to look like a 73, but it was still a first generation Mustang. The Mustang II, which many consider a low-water mark of Mustangdom, came out for the 74 model year.
right right, I knew he used a 71 instead of a 73 but I forget II starts in 74. 40 minute chase scene. I also forgot to mention “Stunts by” H.B. Halicki.
