I always felt the 71-73 "big 'stangs", were probably the best drivers and most comfortable. Rearward vision in the fastbacks was even worst than the earlier ones. The 429/460 block would have been nearly the perfect motor in those cars if safety standards, emissions controls, and rising fuel costs hadn't killed them off after 1971. Fun cars, got rid of mine in 1979.
