    Last Mustang off the line

    I was at the event as part of the press. It was a very emotional experience. Just about every worker that had worked at DAP was in attendance and followed the Mustang down the line. The press, including myself, were able to walk with the car as it came off the line. I have a few pictures and...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    BTW, I did some checking and the photo of the 77 Cobra interior, which I am assuming is the one you are talking about, was taken from the same photo submitted by Brian Seather for the April 2001 Car of the Month. The same photo can be viewed at April 2001 Car of the Month . I am not sure if...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    For some reason, this is the first that I can recall you asking me to remove or identify your picture. There are some problems with the email service, so if you used emal for the request, it may not have made it. I handle 100s of emails a day and it may have been overlooked as well. If so, I...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    Five years later and still accused of stealing "ideas", and still without a shred of proof. 850+ pages of information, countless hours of research, the largest Mustang website in existence and all from "stealing materials"???? I don't think so. Time to move on Mark, get a clue. I am...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    I bought my first II in 1985, a couple of year later I had my first email address. Created my first website in 1991 but ran a BBS starting in 1983.

    800 orig mile King Cobra

    Actually, 1974 was the first year that Ford converted completely to metric for the engines. 1975 was technically the first 5.0 but it wasn't shown on the exterior of the Mustang until 1978. So the 5.0 predates the fox-body by 4 years.

    Mustang II Respect

    A few people had their hoods open. It wasn't really a car "show" but a gathering/cruise in for area Mustangs and the Great American Pony Drive at World headquarters. Besides, the weather has been very uncertain around here so it was great to see the approximately 300 Mustangs just show up...

    Mustang II Respect

    Maybe the Mustang II will get more respect with photo opportunities like this.

    GAS MILEAGE (epa) QUESTION...

    I found some references to the gas mileage in a couple of articles. The average found was about 15 mpg. Estimates from one article was 14-16, another test car, with V8 recorded an 18.1, still another V8 14.6. Here is a quote from a Road and Track article: "Ford expects fuel economy of...

    Left and Right V8 motor mounts the same

    There is another difference between the left and right. There is a notch on each that fits in a particular way between the mount attached to the engine and the one attached to the frame. Kind of hard to explain but there will be a "slight" clearance issue or improper fit if the wrong side is...

    Can you see a resemblance?

    Believe it or not, the rims on the 05 are the 17"s. There is apparently a problem with the 18" and they probably won't be out until late 05 or 06.

    Can you see a resemblance?

    I had a chance to take a few pictures today !

    some reading material

    I think it would be great if everyone sent him an email. Of course, it won't do much good. I sent him a few emails concerning his misunderstanding and it further showed his obvious lack of Mustang knowledge. In his replies, he kept going on and on about how much better the Fox bodied...

    Join A Mustang Club??

    I have been involved with our local club since 1999. This is my third year as President of the club, which has approximately 300 members. My II gets a little more respect since I am the President. :)

    *HOLY $HIT* Tonight on TV!!!!

    Even Directv lists it as a 1976. I was going to record it on DVD but I guess I will pass now. I got all excited for nothing. BTW, it is on at midnight tonight as well.

    Ghia?

    Here is a bit of trivia that can be documented in various sources. All three of the following are considered the same "model" of Mustang, just different years and names. Pre-1974 - Grande 1974-1978 - Ghia 1979 - ? - Ghia/LX/GLX According to a couple of articles that I have read...

    Mustang 40th Anniversary Special Edition Monopoly

    Yeah, I bought a couple of them. One to save, the other to open. I actually have used the piece playing the game. I just got word that Ford was the one that proofed the 40th game and allowed it to be produced without the II. It is really sad when the company that made the cars is the one...
