Sign of the times Mustang II brings $16,750
I get trying to re-live your youth and all, but would never have thought a 76 or 77 Mustang II would bring that much money.
Yes, I have driven several. They don't handle well at all. Same suspension as a Pinto. An unbelievable slug for a V8. I just don't get the attraction. OOOPs, forgot the link. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-ford-mustang-12/

I have eclectic taste and can find something interesting about almost any old car. But those Mustang II's are just plain revolting, even to me. It's too bad any of them survived.

It really was a shock when Ford made the drastic change in the Mustangs, but with gas having shot up to $1.00/gallon after the embargo, it was a sign of the times.
In about '76, I worked with a woman who had a '69 Caprice with an L36 427. She hated putting gas in that tank and after she got lightly rear ended, she took the insurance money, sold the car to me for a few hundred dollars and bought a spankin' new Mustang Ghia. She loved the little thing and the mileage, but just a quick look at it and I knew I would never own one of those flimsy cars.

Yes, but it took them and the other big 2 manufacturers until the late 80's to get back in the game with reliable, quality vehicles. Remember the Vega's and Citations and the BOP derivatives along with Chrysler's K cars and such... all cheap, disposable vehicles that gave the Japanese the foothold they needed by continually improving and developing their products until they overran the big 3.

Cars like the Mustang II are what guarantees our beloved musclecars immortality.

I'm surprised that are are left. I thought that all of them would have been stripped for the front suspension by now.

Never liked them either but I remember two most of us here would’ve jumped at the chance to ride. ~ Pete .
