IIRC double the price.

Funny tho that the Mustang II was an exceedingly popular car
in it's day - you used to see them all over the place. It
just goes to show how crappy the alternatives were at that
time.

And Ford got the next Mustang right. I recall back when
the Florida Highway Patrol had a bunch of turbo Mustangs
around 1980 (they had discovered that their prior cruisers,
mostly Dodges, wouldn't exceed 100mph flat out). Then,
after California talked Ford into a police package based
on the 302 V8, FHP used them until the CVPI came out.
