Ford Mustang II It's History, Models, Features & The Angels

My father bought the 77 hatchback sparkle green with white interior in 78 and eventually gave me that car when i turned 15

The mustang ll was a part of my childhood.
I was and always will be Camaro fan but the mustang ll and the Shelby is my favorite car s

My first car was a 1978 Mustang Mach II V8 in orange. Everyone asked if it was a Pinto! I loved it.

I'm a ford guy 96 2wd ranger 01 f150 4×4 and a 95 trans am convertable and I always had a soft spot for mustang 2 I love to see em at car shows any model

Imagine one of these but with a gen 3 coyote and 10R80 swap…bigger rear tires and some boost this thing would be a monster.

TONY- What you said was VERY true, the new emissions standards and ad-hoc engineering response from Detroit REALLY hampered any "performance" cars, and it is seriously lucky some auto manufacturers continued to offer such cars until the technology could adapt!! Guys our age can clearly remember the Volare "Road Runner", etc...!!!

Just one more person bashing the Mustang II. I shouldn't have watched. Anyone that have owned one knows it was a great car and how little it took to wake the engine up plus their light weight makes them quick unlike the tanks that were before them. Every street rod still uses the Mustang II type steering/suspension which wasn't even mentioned.

I always liked the Mustang II as well. I would take one today and of course mod the hell out of it while retaining the stock look. yeah I would.

i like 1971-1973 mustang.

I test drove a Mustang II in 1974. Boy was Ford's timing perfect downsizing the Mustang right before the Arab oil embargo. Dealers were adding A huge markup to them. Small car prices were so crazy that a Volkswagen Super Beetle sold for more than a Chrysler New Yorker. I ended up buying a used Pinto. It really was a tough reliable car. I'm still in love with the Mustang II Mach One with the 5.0 engine from the movie Starman.

Tony,
Thanks for this video. I currently have a red and black 75 Mach 1 with the V8, that I'm trying to restore. I've had mine for 35 years,

Had a 75 Mustang II coupe with all the Ghia options, but not labeled a Ghia. I loved the way it looked and the interior was very luxurious for the time. Ford never should have used the Pinto 4-cyl in these, though. They were far heavier than the Pinto, and with the automatic (like mine), it was very slow. Mileage was not great, either, although in my case, I had traded in a well work 68 Cougar. Since I always drove the Mustang II floored, it got worse mileage than the Cougar with the V-8. Of course the 68 Cougar wasn't a victim of the pollution control stifling the power. If my car had been the V-8, I would have kept it much longer. My mother had the Mach 1, and that was certainly better. The Mustang II with the V-8 was actually faster than the 73 Mustang with the same engine, undoubtedly because of the weight difference.

Junk all junk😅😅 my sis has one with a v8 can't remember the year got ac though capriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The MUSTANG NO 😂

I like the Mustang II, particularly the Cobra II models. A family member had a black 78 King Cobra.

It’s not based on the Pinto. They only shared a handful of parts from the Ford parts bin, like all Fords do. The popular front suspension swap isn’t a pinto independent front suspension it’s a Mustang II suspension. That’s a bs lie that gm probably started. It was the best selling Mustang and saved the Mustang. I’d love to have a Cobra II but they’ve gotten stupid expensive. Come on man you have Fords and Mustangs in your channels name, don’t pass that lie on.

Not a fan of the mustang II but always a fan of the vintage videos 😊

1974 mustang was the 4th best selling mustang of all time. its 5 year run is 2nd best selling 5 years for mustang EVER. also 1974 sold over 386 thousand not 296 thousand.
