The fuel efficient Mustang. The Mustang E was produced in 1969 for those looking for more of an economic friendly Mustang. With it’s 250 cubic inch six-cylinder engine, the Mustang E fit those who desired high mpg. Fast it was not. Signifying “economy,” the Mustang E was meant as a high MPG alternative to its gas-guzzling brethren. This was a SportsRoof Mustang with a 250 cubic inch six cylinder, a 2.33/1 rear gear ratio, a high stall torque converter and a C-4 Select Shift automatic transmission. The only outward difference was the insignia on the rear quarter panel said ” Mustang E” rather than showing the running horse insignia.

The unrestored car I saw was an orange car that was for sale recently. Not a bad price either for a southern car. That tail panel trim had been on it for a looong time. I was just wondering, but I do like the body color rear ends of the Roadrunner best.
