"1973 was a year of turmoil in the automotive industry, thanks to OPEC, and it took years for car manufacturers to get over that trauma. Because of that, the boxy little car from BMW, with its fat tires, flaring fenders and racing stripes was seen as ‘inappropriate’, which explains why it was cancelled in 1975, after selling 1,674 examples."
10/10 (The SN-95 Mustang was [and still...] my favorite era of Mustangs, and Saleen made them cooler, back then. Almost, gave me a JDM-like vibe, when I see a Saleen-tuned SN-95/Foxbody Mustang.)
And same here about the 4th gen SN-95 Mustang, it's my personal favourite of all the generations of Mustang, always loved the way it looked, especially in it's facelifted "new edge" designed format. And the Saleen Mustangs of that era only enhanced that fact, especially with the Widebody SR race car's.

Ford Escort RS1700T - Ford initial design for a Group B rally car, before scrapping it, and developing a more specialised beast in the form of the RS200
