    Help: Mustang II myth list

    Sounds like fun! 1) Mustang II's were the slowest Mustangs. 79 had virtually the same engine 80 and 81 had the 255!!!! The majority of 60's 70's Mustangs did mid 17 second quarter miles. 2) There was never a Mustang II Mach 1 (Really? I have one) :D 3)Carol Shelby built the Cobra II

    Washing the II is easy you don't even need a bucket, you just use the water sitting in the rear bumper :D :rlaugh: It takes way less time to wash and wax the II, then the Mark 7. The VII is a Bill Blass and the stainless trim holds 50 gallons of water. I gave up, you just wait for it to dry...

    Would like you oppinion on tires, pls.

    I have 235/50/13 tires on the back of my II. They look dumb! A II really needs 205/70/13" front 235/70/13's rear but knowbody makes them! Falken used to have a 215/65/13 that looked really good. (I had them on the back of the Ghia). They have long since been discontinued. I have desided to go to...

    Would like you oppinion on tires, pls.

    White letters out all the way! I would have but, I have Coopers front/BFG's back, I think white letter tires look tacky when the fronts don't match the back. The Ghia was the Luxury model but any II is sporty enough to get away with it. :D
