WOW
Looks like Grandma didn't even drive it!
That's unbelieveable! Does it still have the new car smell??
What's with the JC Whitney looking hood ordament? Tell me that ain't stock...
And the mirrors.. Could be JC Whit-ney!?! They can't be stock either..They look like the cheap-o plastic replacements I've seen on a couple other cars in the past.

Looks clean, no doubt about it. And it might be the only II I've ever seen that the glove box door actually closes properly!
Never paid much attention to the 80mph speedometer gauge units in general, but always thought the kmp/h designations were only on post '76 cars? I'm guessing this car is a '75 or '76 by the chrome dash accents and seat belt set up. Interestingly though too, it has the (later) black parking brake lever w/unmatching woodgrain handle.
Dano, I agree about the hood ornament being non stock....seems I've seen that ornament advertised somewhere once before, probably JC. The mirrors look very close to (if not) stock...but I'm certain too that they were never factory chrome plated as such. Too bad the pics don't show if the pass mirror actually has remote control either. Looks like dealer tried to dress up this otherwise no frills bare bones pony.

Certainly an unusual II.
My take: Kmart special mirrors, JC hood ornament , replacement fuel cap.
Here's where it gets odd....early woodgrain park brake lever, but the pecan grain dash panels and the late'77-78 gauges. The seatbelt boots are also oddly black...mine are white. Another anamoly to me is the placement of the fuel usage decal. I have never seen one there, they are typically found under the fuel cap. The placement on the crown of the quarter surely would not be recommended, due to the high wear on such bends. I thought that they were applied at the assembly plant..perhaps they were shipped with the car for dealer installation? And a heated backglass in Arizona? On a seventies car? Snowbird car, maybe?
Gonna tell us what they're asking?...it's OK, I'm sitting down.
Sure is clean...it's been a VERY long time since I saw an original that looked like that...

That running horse emblem has been around for a long time. Seen it on 66's. I have seen two other cars before with the unleaded only decal up there. I thought it was strange then. One of them was a 75 I owned. I remember someone mentioning the sunroof chrome. Did anybody not notice it was an aftermarket sunroof. I may be wrong but I have never seen one that wasn't a manual roll back sun roof. That interior cover was definately different on the sunroof.
