Oh Jesus Christ.

It's in primer, with heavy, ugly, Chinesium wheels, with no air conditioning, no proof that it's a real Cobra, and the guy thinks his .030" overbored 351 is a stroker?

When did the crackpipe-loving crowd move from fox bodies to IIs???

I mean, for half that price I'd be all about it. Replace the way too big and heavy wheels and you've got the rolling personification of this:

@MustangIIMatt - You should see the resulting comments/exchange. Apparently he's butt hurt.

This isn't the usual ad that I typically share, but it should be of interest to this group specifically.

Here we have a 302/c4 combo for sale for $200. By the looks of it, it's either a boat anchor or a rebuild candidate at best, but that's not the point of interest. It comes with a II oil pan, presumably an oil pick up for said pan, and a pair of motor mounts. For $200 I'd think that someone could buy just that stuff, give them a quick refurb, and probably make some money. Here's the ad if anyone is interested:

Ford 302 V8 Engine with C4 Trans - auto parts - by owner - vehicle...

This is a mid to late 70s (maybe early 80s) 302 engine and C4 transmission from an LTD. It has Mustang II oil pan and motor mounts. It's been sitting a while, obviously. Plus a set of unused header...

It is interesting

Is that a 141 bell also or probable not?

But if it is......

II bellhousings do not have those ribs at the top. Our bells have a sloped shaped vs the sudden curve of this one. The starter looks like it's pretty far away from the oil pan. Our starters sit tight against the pan. When I used a truck pan I had to smash the pan round at the starter.

I believe it's a II pan but not a II trans. Just as the posting indicates.

 

[LILCBRA]

Ok, so this isn't a II. Hell, it's not even a Mustang! But my brother in law forwarded this to me. As some of you may already know, I also have a 55 Chevy 150 model 2 door wagon that my dad left to me when he passed. It's in pretty sad shape and I would explore the possibility of replacing the car with another that isn't so far gone when I'm ready to get started on it. This one, from first impression, could be a suitable replacement - and at a fairly reasonable price!

Now, the reason I'm sharing here - if you look at this picture's background, you'll see a white II. I wonder if he'd part ways with that too....

On a side note that's somewhat related - I've been toying with the idea of parting ways with my Cobra and GT so I can think about starting on the wagon. The longer I go without any of them the more I'm regretting not doing anything with them. Unfortunately current circumstances dictate those conditions which doesn't make me feel any better about any of it....

As shared by @manicmechanic007 :

They're a dealer and asking just shy of $10k

https://cars.ksl.com/listing/8048244

Not many of these around anymore. Not a show car but a fun driver. It's got the 302 v8 and a 4 speed manual transmission. Runs awesome. Overall nice shape. Please call or stop by for a test drive.

 

[manicmechanic007]

We all need to make our current conditions more bettah so we can have some of these cars
I need a bigger house with a warehouse for a garage

 

[manicmechanic007]

Where is that 55 Chev at LILCBRA?
Get 'em both

 

[LILCBRA]

That 55 is back in Iowa. Like you said, we all need to get our situations mo bettah! I'd love to bring it home as I'll be up there in 2 weeks anyway, I just don't have the space for a 4th car right now. It looks like it would be a good replacement for the car my dad left me, it's definitely seen better days! Then again, I'm sure I'll have seen better days when I'm near my 70s too.... Lol
