    Ghia conversion to hardtop?

    Ahhh I see. I've had 3 Ghias but only parted 1 and never bothered to pull the 1/4 glass and stuff. The other 2 Ghias were really nice and I never had a reason to pull them apart. I always thought it was a partially covered std. window. :shrug: Learn somthin' new every day.:D Well if you can't...

    lowering that car.....

    Unless you stuf those mufflers into the pocketed areas under the rear seat, be prepared for a muffler bash fest. Even glasspacks tucked tight to the driveline are targets, but not as bad. Most of the IIs are ran to the rear axle and dumped before the rear axle. Or they are in the stock...

    Ghia conversion to hardtop?

    A member on here has done this. Can't remember who this was. I thought the Ghia and the coupe used the same 1/4 glass, but on the Ghia it was just partially covered up. :shrug:

    Free parts!

    No, I sure don't. You know... funny thing is I've never parted out a T-Top II in all the years I've been doing this and the number of cars I've been through. Other than yours, a CBII 4banger in the junkyard, and the '78 CBII i use to have, were the only T-Top cars I've ever seen in this neck of...

    Free parts!

    Yeah I'll be there, just not with the fastback. I need to sell stuff....in a bad way..:D My shop is so overrun with crap, and it'd be nice to have the extra cash too. I'm planning on draggin a '53 Ford and misc other parts to sell at the swap meet. I'm thrashing to get my Supercab up and running...

    Might get lucky E-baying the stuff. I know, I know, who the heck wants to deal with E-Gay anymore....:rolleyes: I'd shoot across the river and get it but you have no idea how much II stuff I already have. Although.....the price is right.... 76_Mustang2 - Where are you located?

    New Mustang II website

    Nice site... it was a long time comming. :nice: We really needed one single place, a dumping ground mind you, for all of our hard sought information. I've always wanted to do something like that, just never had the time or the real computer skills to do it. Glad to see someone took the ball and...

    cobra II value?

    OMG :eek: It's an automatic too!?! What a turd. They should have changed it from a Cobra II to a Possum II or Snail II, hardly deserving of the Cobra nameplate. I bet it's got 2.79s in the rear aswell. :rlaugh: The topper is the asking price.... Jack Roush himself had better have personally...

    cobra II value?

    Very, very few 4cyl Cobras were made. Almost non-existant. I did see one in the local junk yard and yarded out it's buck tag because I couldn't believe it myself. Ran the codes, and the truth be told. It was a T-Top car to boot! From a few reads I've crossed, 1978 was the only year that you...

    cobra II value?

    It might surprise you. The II actually handled really well for it's time. I had a V6 CBII that had the front and rear saway bars, limited slip, 4 speed, 14x7 wheels, lowered 2" front 1" back. That thing would take a freeway on/off ramp cloverleaf at 50-60mph without much trouble at all. If it...

    What's a '74 Mustang II worth?

    Depending on how fast you wanna sell, probably ask $1200 -$1500 to start with. If you're not in any hurry to sell, ask $2000. See what kinda action you get. The rust factor and it being a V6 are the only real killers. Some people are just plain scared of rust! But me personally, I think the V6s...

    Heater core removal

    On an Non-A/C heaterbox the hose connections to the heater core are on the interior side of the firewall, but external of the heater box up on the top. If you remove the glovebox and liner you should be able to access those hose connections. Still won't have much room to work. Loosening the...

    SVT five spoke wheels?

    That seems to be the fad these days. Conastoga wagon wheels wrapped with rubberbands. Probably would make John Wayne throw up. But to each, his own. :shrug:

    WOULD A 92-97 CROWN VIC ENGINE FIT INTO A 78 STANG ?

    I'd have to agree. Either find a good used replacement tranny for the Crown Vic or a good used pre-79 302 for your II. :nice:

    Air shocks on a 74?

    I think I run about 25-30 psi. in my shocks. Even seems to sit the same with the air shocks bled out so I'm guessing my springs are just fine. I happen to like the stiffer ride the air shocks provide. And like most others, they were already on the car when i bought it. I've put air shocks on...
