    Mustang II popularity

    It depends on which group of Mustang enthusiasts you ask. Not all Mustang people look at II's in a negative way, but of the ones who do, here are few reasons why. For the non II owners reading this post, please excuse the satire. :rolleyes: It's hard to grasp, until you've logged a few miles in...

    II trivia revived... an "exhausting" topic!

    Sadly, the recent server crash lost many posts of interesting and (what I thought) somewhat useful information. The II trivia thread in particular comes to mind, on a rainy day such as the one I'm experiencing right now. Anyway, I recall some mention and discussion of II's that came with dual...

    AWESOME GRILL!!! is it stock???

    Sal, I agree with you...and I see the vertical bars too. Besides, the 1974 grilles had eight horizontal rows in the eggcrate grille as opposed to the 75-78's that had only six. This is in addition to the 1974 parking light housings which were different too, having a horizontal bar though their...

    Mustang II radio ?

    The poor quality if the pic makes it hard to say for sure, but here are my thoughts on it. It's a early to mid 70's unit that would likely fit in your II, but may not have been originally intalled in one, nor be one manufactured for Ford by Motorola or Philco who were the original suppliers...

    1974 Grille Insert?

    Well, probably so... since the item also includes the headlight openings which the '74-'78 grille (inserts) did not. First glance had me thinking it may have been a full but different style header panel, and perhaps missing some trim pieces. Now that I'm more awake...it's apparent that this...

    1974 Grille Insert?

    Going way out on a limb here, but thinking perhaps it might be something that came of a Mexican Mustang II. Seller lives in Cal., so maybe??????????? Most unusual!!!!!! Then again...a little more rational thought makes me think it's off a '73!

    Supply and Demand

    I'm begining to wonder exactly where all the cars are, if as many are being produce as some here have claimed and calculated. As I see it, the demand can seemingly only increase (dramatically) in the spring for several reasons. First, I would think lots of less informed buyers (non enthusiast...

    A Christmas Tale

    Only Santa's hairdresser, knows for sure..... :D By the way...I was in a hurry to end it, as it was late and I thought I heard something "up on the rooftop." I thought later, a better ending might be this: So, the toys were delivered, for that next Christmas Day With style and speed, in...

    1970Impala Part 2

    Unconfirmed sources have claimed them to be on a shelf, in a storage unit that Phil owns...somewhere near the North Pole. The sum of the asking price plus the reward, could probably allow me to retire. :rlaugh:

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    To a large extent, true... but, only to a point. There are also many "enthusiasts" that drive Mustangs, simply because the car satisfies their definition of sporty, fun, and stylish among other things....irregardless of engine displacement and power output. They may also spend similarily...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Thanks...I'd forgotten to mention all the weakly sarcastic answers some of those egotistical posters come can up with too. :rolleyes:

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Get used to the fact, that many posters in automotive forums like this are simply totally "performance driven" when it comes to what they drive, due often due to "ego issues"...and they aren't usually very openminded or interested in understanding the average buyers rationale for purchasing...

    1970Impala Part 2

    Yes! Sitting at his computer, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting bidders, like in this auction. http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50459&item=7940902482&rd=1 I stumbled across this item while surfing, about 3 minutes before it ended...and the first thing that came to...

    1970Impala Part 2

    Think about how much he might make, and the business he might do, if he kept less inventory and sold everything he has for a more reasonable price. He just kind of reminds me of the new car dealers, that add on excessive premiums over MSRP on new models like the '05 Mustangs. I just think it's...

    Hooker Header ?

    This topic has been brought up numerous times, since I became a member of this forum in 1999. You are quite correct Dave... this is an almost hassle free installation with the 6120's. I echoed your same thoughts quite some time ago, recalling the time I installed them in my car over 25 years...

    1970Impala Part 2

    Jon....that's the price you pay, when you deal with the head elf in Santa's toyshop, instead of the (nice) jolly old fellow himself! Nice doesn't work with those overworked elves, that also work overtime under the table in outside retail endeavors. I'll keep believing in the nice old fat man...
