de-lurking

Hey there. I registered as a member just before the site crashed and didn't get around to re-registering until now. I've had my II since November. It's a mostly stock 77 V6 coupe, white with red/white interior with about 69,000 miles on it. I've done a lot of work on it since I got it, just trying to fix wonky things previous owners did to it. It had a AM radio that I switched out with a AM/FM 8-track that works. Carb has been replaced. New weatherstripping. Just got the horn working.

I'm the one someone mentioned had been on her way to Carlisle when her car quit. It was a simple thing. I hadn't swapped out the cheap battery for a good one (because I thought it was working properly) and it just up and died on me in bumper-to-bumper traffic (ugh). anyway, i did make it to the show without the car and had a blast seeing all the IIs there.

Right now I'm working on getting some battery parts together. Got the shield, etc and just need the air duct. I'm also hoping to pick up a set of the white lacy rims (thought they'd look better than the hubcaps )

This is my 4th Mustang and second Mustang II. Years ago I had a 67, a 77 V8 coupe, and then a 79. The II was my favorite so that's why I got another one.

so that's my story. Nice to meet you!

Yep. I'm actually bidding on those. I live in Virginia so it's no problem running over to Maryland to pick them up. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Too bad about Carlisle. From those pics I think your's would have been the nicest of the coupes that were there. I was the one that got talking to your folks while we were checking out the nice black king with the "mini" king(it's little trailer) behind it.

Thanks! It's definitely a work in progress though. LOL

Yep, my parents mentioned meeting you. I was over at the swap meet with a friend digging around for II parts. (didn't find anything)

I usually post on the .net site LXXVICOBRA mentioned but have learned a lot from reading the posts here.

I didn't get the wheels. The seller wanted $400 firm. that's a bit out of my price range.

Vince, I'm working with someone on a set for $100 with the red center caps. They are white with the red stripes around the inside. I probably will need to have them restored. I have a question, though. Who does powercoating? A body shop?

Matt! You have mail!
