The VC is nothing more than a sticker, in reality, they are the same machine, Just as the Auto drive went from "VC-160 Auto Drive" to "VC Auto Drive" and then to "Auto Drive" without technically changing design.
This machine is much closer to the 'VC-Mustang' than the MKIII VC-125 is to the MKI & MKII VC-125's, yet we still consider the VC-125 MKIII part of the VC-125 family.
For a more accurate description, "VC-Mustang" was one of the labels used on the "Series 70 Mustang" range.
And in all technicallity, this fits into both the VC-Mustang and Series 70 Families, as apart from stickers chosen by Victa's Marketing devision, it has a series 70 MKIV engine, and the Body, Function and Styling of the VC-Mustang Range.
It counts as part of the first generation of mustangs, the second being the actual series 80's (Gear Start) and the third being powetorque mustangs (which variate in style from the vortex look to the flat top, and modern mustangs)
You could split up the third generation, into maybe vortex, flat top and modern (excluding 4st) but thats a touch off topic.
So really, it's all one family of mustangs from 1973 to 1980, as the design essentually did not change during this period, slight modifications were made to the appearance but only in relation to the carby, slight changes were made to the engine, but you can still swap the cranks, cases, mufflers, starters etc without issue, as it is essentually the same engine except for carby, inlet port and magneto.
