Classy and Clean Street Machine: Restored 1977 Ford Mustang II Coupe

Debuted for 1974, Ford’s downsized, compact Pinto-based Mustang II weathered the worst years for the American automobile but kept the Mustang lineage going through the EPA and DOT-dominated 1970s. Mustang II also defied the OPEC oil embargo, Energy Crisis, Watergate, and geopolitical tensions that defined the tumultuous decade. To the chagrin of enthusiasts, the Mustang II was not even available with a V8 engine until 1975 – a wheezy 141hp shadow of the 302ci small-block V8. Nonetheless, faithful Ford racers, including Wayne Gapp and Jack Roush, “Dyno Don” Nicholson, and other top names, carried the Ford banner at the dragstrip with wicked Mustang II Pro Stock race cars, and some fans built wild street machines from the model, as well.

Described by the seller as a show car, this very clean 1977 Mustang ll stays true to its roots with a 302ci V8 engine. Performance is obviously strong with a mild cam, Hedman headers, and a 2 ½-inch dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers. The interior is exceptionally clean and nice, and the exterior was refinished in a high-quality base/clear coat paint finish. Rust-free and highly detailed, this is one pony that will run. The seller advises the car is still on a PA title that documents 33k miles of use at the time of issuance.
