    What if it wern't what it is?

    Yes, I've seen the support for this argument before. While I won't dispute its validity, those gallons of gas sure used to seem to go farther! BTW 351CJ...that weight you gave for the II sounds really high. Even my heavily optioned V8 car registers at 3016. Perhaps the car you are refering to...

    What if it wern't what it is?

    I found your post quite interesting, by the fact you are looking at this from the perspective of a younger person than myself. I agree with your thinking too, to a point. I somewhat disagree with your thoughts about Fords need to make this car look like a classic...at least as far as how the...

    What if it wern't what it is?

    95Nelson... Quickly checking various sources has given me conflicting curb weights on Mustang II's and other older models. While your figures appear fairly accurate in general terms, certainly there could be as much as a few hundred extra pounds difference between cars, depending on how any car...

    What if it wern't what it is?

    Thanks to those who have already responded to my post. Most of you have brought up some fine points while presenting your views. I expect this subject will result in a long thread before all is said and done, with many different viewpoints coming from previous Mustang owners and first time...

    What if it wern't what it is?

    The introduction of the '05 brings back many memories, mainly of the enthusiasm which existed during the introduction of the original Mustang back in 1964. Of couse, Ford is also doing a fantastic job of recreating that kind of "hype", thru extensive advertising and "throw back" marketing...

    STANG2K5 License Plate

    STANG2K5...yes, it could only be owned by one person in your state...obviously you. However, as with all vanity plates, they are only exclusive in ownership within the state they are registered in. There could easily be 49 others across the country, that might soon make the same claim. I...

    What to put on my Lisence plate??

    Well, it was rather hard to resist! Glad you got the point! :D

    GT- Auto or Manual in the snow?

    There may be pros and cons to both on this issue, but, I think an important point is being missed here. The poster asking the question appears to be a relatively new (young) driver and one that has never driven a manual, (much less a 300 hp car), and possibly one that has little previous...

    Mustang II in Ford´s 2005 Commercial!!!

    Sal! Of course I think too much! But, at my age, the mental exercise is necessary to prevent lapses of fonder memories of those good old days. No... I don't think it's sad we are analyzing the clip for correctness. It's just a minor form of peculiar obsession to the cars we love so much...

    Mustang II in Ford´s 2005 Commercial!!!

    Jon and Sal.... There is a valid reason to why I stated the car was a '76, as opposed to being a '77, as it now more clearly appears to be. Amidst my excitement of the commercial in itself, I was mainly focusing on the use of the early style Cobra II package (in white and blue no less), that...

    Mustang II in Ford´s 2005 Commercial!!!

    Quite possibly the best car commercial of all time! :flag: This is amazing........the II is apparently now considered (by Ford) as being part of the "Mustang legend", (in a commercial that promotes "taking a step back into the past" with it's newest Mustang model), without even a reference to...

    Seatbelts and senility?

    Funny how you can own a car for almost thirty years, and take so many details about them for granted after awhile, that you sometimes fail to notice many of the small differences from year to year, even after you thought you knew most all of them. I think in the case of II's, it's largely due in...

    Why you chose a II?

    So....you are in fact, that person that found "The Right Car at The Right Time?" :shrug: To think, that an offshoot of that fateful decision, eventually brought you to this place of harmony and dissent! :chair: Your post implies that a II wasn't necessarily the car you had in mind for...

    Is this really the stock fan?

    That's one ugly looking fan! For a minute, I thought I was looking at the impeller of a sump pump. :D I know I've never seen one of those, but I'll take your word for it since you went to the trouble of having several of yours recalled. I would say that if that fan has seven blades like the...

    Is this really the stock fan?

    The original "flex fans" were recalled, but, I believe the only differences between them and the replacements were the way they were assembled. My original fan's blades appear to be (each) made up of TWO separate pieces (of different widths overlapping each other), that are attached together...

    What it might have been!

    If you look closely, you will notice the car has a '74 header panel and grille lamps...in additiion to the non factory wheel flairs/wheels. The car may be, and in fact probably is a '77 as stated...but is nonetheless a clone (of sorts)of a CobraII that really never existed as such in the first...

    What it might have been!

    Wow! The world's one and only '74 Cobra II :bs: http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2489143168&category=10076 I guess the calendar people wern't to concerned about the authenticity/originality of the featured cars. Nice mods, however!

    Nice Cobra II...

    I'm guessing that Sal will buy this car by tomorrow morning! If the mileage is original, it would be very hard to pass up. It looks to be in great shape. My only concern from the pic is if this car (assuming it is a real Cobra) is just missing the V8 emblems, or if in fact it was a V6 car with...
