I lied.  For a very short time I owned a '73 Mach I with a 351
Cleveland, C6 tranny and 9" rear end.  I never found out how fast it
would go because it got too squirrelly to steer at about 110.  9mpg if
I drove the speed limit.  6mpg if I drove it like it was meant to be
driven.  It's the only American car I've ever owned that I actually
liked.  But a couple months after I bought it a Mustang collector
offered me nearly twice what I paid for it.  I think he was going to
pull the drive train and scrap the body.
