Production Peaks and Decline
After a strong start, the Stag reached a peak production of about 5,500 units, but numbers fell to 3,442 in 1974 and 2,898 in 1975. Production then stabilized for two years before dropping to roughly 1,800 units in its final year.
Transmission Evolution
The Stag was offered with a 4‑speed manual gearbox paired with an overdrive option or a Borg‑Warner 3‑speed automatic. In 1972, overdrive became standard on all manual‑transmission models.
Market Reach and Legacy
The Stag went on sale in 1970 and entered the United States market in 1971, maintaining its four‑seat configuration throughout production. Today, original parts are scarce, leading owners to rely on limited aftermarket options and specialist suppliers.
