Mustang II fans - here's a good one

Hey I remember Hot Rod or similar magazine article

on a Mustang II Mach I. I remember the owner was a pilot

and wanted a powerful new Mustang so he had a big block

shoehorned in there.

Cool - isn't the internet great - found website with reference to the car (motor by Roush) >>>

It's one to die for, that's for sure. Cool piece of history.

I'm seriously lookin at buying a 76-78 Cobra II, the black and gold looks cool, would be a blast to drive, with a manual and a ally headed roller cammed 302w....

Love that car. I remember digging that mag out of Dad's collection and drooling over it as a teenager.

I had a 78 with the 302 in it. Same as the king cobra without all the stickers. The ass-end of that car was so light, it would sit there and cook the tires off of it !!!! All done with a whopping 139h.p. It was a really fun car when I was 18. It didn't go very fast but the burn outs were cool. I remember turning the air cleaner lid upside down so it sounded like it was really screaming down the road

Thats a sweet mustang II!!!! Got to take my nephews mustang II for a ride last weekend and its just a little 4 banger and it will sit there and smolder the tires! We are looking at getting a 2.3 turbo motor out of a Thunderbird. That would definately wake that thing up. Heres a pic of it. We were gonna go with white with blue stripes, but decided to go blue with the white stripes.

Update on restoration >>>

One of the very few Mustang II cars I like...

Dude - I am SO tempted to lock and close this thread.

Why? Because if the editor of Mustang Monthly can totally ignore '71-'73s while plastering Mustang IIs everywhere, I think we ought to be able to do the same in reciprocation.

Totally just kidding of course - we don't roll like that here... I just needed to get that out of my head.

Nice one!

You do know one of our members owns this car don't you?

I didn't even realize there was a fastback and a coupe version of these things. All I've ever seen is the coupes. That fastback with the drag tires on it looks totally badass.

I think I remember something about that, but I'm not bashing the car in the least - I actually like the Mustang IIs very much (my Mom had an awesome blue Mach 1 hatchback when I was growing up).

I'm just getting in a dig in at Rob Kinnan whenever and wherever I get a chance. :whistling:

Well that looks like a blast!

Those are some cool Cars!! [emoji12][emoji41][emoji106] Regards Lars[emoji1087]
