I bought the worst Mustang of all time! Will it run and Drive???
Рет қаралды 54,248
Жыл бұрынGot a few things to do around the shop, but if that all goes well it's time to introduce you to a new member of the fleet. I have been after this 1976 Mustang II for years. Now that the paperwork is square it's time to see if it will run and drive. This may be the ugliest and least popular Ford Mustang in existence, but I kinda like it...

My first Mustang II was a 74 hatchback with the 2.3 and 4spd. It was a fun little car and i beat the snot out of that one...literally. My 2nd one was a 77 Ghia with a 302 and automatic. The wife torched the engine on that one. Not a lot of new body parts available for these cars but they are fun little get around rides and yes they are just a rebodied Pinto...but fun. Now Pintos...I've had a number of those and a couple were V8 drag cars. Hope to see that one resurrected soon!

The Mustang II is the Rodney Dangerfield of mustangs. It gets absolutely no respect. But it’s actually a cool good looking little car. It’s compact, looks like a mustang, had a lot of new stuff on it when it came out and was not a bad car overall. And they built a zillion of them in all kinds of flavors. It’s about time they get the recognition they deserve before they are all gone. Not to many are left because they were never sought after. So they were just trashed and thrown away.

Before watching the video I just want to say that the "Mustang" Mach E is right up there with worst ever.. I don't have a problem with the electric crossover, but WHY did they call it a mustang?! Sorry rant over, Love your content Dave I'm sad that DED got canceled but I'm glad to have you on KZfaq!

I’m glad to be here. They just needed something familiar that would help bring the older generation into the ev world

For a second I thought the Mustang II was a thumbnail gag, because it looked like you stopped when you pulled up on the ‘69 Chevelle. I was thinking a Ricky Bobby clone for a second. Oh well, different is cool too.

I had a 78 fastback for my first car. Silver w/black sport interior and t-tops that leaked horribly. I kinda miss that POS!

I didn’t need any tools. Did all this with a leatherman
