Congratulations...it is always great to hear that someone was able to finally get something that they have been wanting.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

I think the Mustang II Mach 1's are kind of neat looking. Ford did offer an aluminum wheel that had similar styling as the 73 Mustang Aluminum Wheel, although only a 4 bolt of course. Post up those pictures.

 
I got my eye on one rite now. Its a 75 Mach 1 302 and A/C. The elder lady wont sell to me until she finds the keys. She stopped driving it about 4 years ago. So the little Mach 1 sits their under the car port.

 
The '74-'78s got a bad rap because they were what was left after the big 'gas crunch' years. My Mom had a '75 hatch, and honestly it was a pretty cool little car. Much better than the '78 Fairmont Futura she traded it for.

I don't think I'd seek one out as a project, but I can say that I'd have one before I'd consider a Pinto or just about anything else Ford offered at the time.

Good luck finding parts - have fun with your project.

 
only year a mustang didnt come with a v8
I was waiting for Damian to chime in, but I got his back...ask him about the I6 that came stock in his Mustang.

I like the non-standard options. I6 is so rare that it's automatically cool in my opinion. And you're right, I think '74 is the first year they referred to displacement in liters. I still call them in ci, even the new ones LOL. "5.0? What's that? I have a 302!"

 
1st Let me say I'm a Mustang II fan. I have owned 2 of them a 75 with a 302 and a 77 with a 2.3. Both cars served me well. But with that said a Mustang II could not and would not hold up to the abuse that a Fox 5 litter can. That holds true for all other Mustangs as well. Ok 05s and newer may knot apply.
