slightly confused on this offering

the paid member price was $9500 but the winning ebay price was $7550?

Re: 1976 Mustang II Original Survivor 4k orig mile
 

Why does it seem like people are slamming this guy?

How many cars here are listed by dealers? So what?

How many cars here sell for less than the price offered??? So what?

Geeez, cut this guy some slack will ya...

and Farrah drove the Cobra.

Not just Mustangs, but all American made cars, and most of the imports as well. Anyone have the old Road & Track article from 1976 entitled something like "Fastest American Made Car" If I remember correctly (and I always do until someone proves me wrong!!), the fastest "car" was almost a Chevy truck with a 454. Corvette was fastest, but only managed about 125 or 126 on the top end. The truck was right around 120. Also tested were a Plymouth (I think a Duster) with a 340 or 360 and a Mustang II (i.e. Pinto II) with a 302. There was one other car, but can't remember off the top of my head. Each one was the fastest car available from the maker. Mustang II was able to clock an incredibly anemic 105 mph. I think you can get a modern Ford Focus faster than that.

I really think it was the uber-anemic cars of the mid 70's that fueled the Muscle Car craze. By 1977 we all wanted to find a Muscle Car to hold on to, thinking that Detroit would never again build a high performance machine. All the magazines pined for the old days and assured us that they were "gone forever". Guess they were wrong. Look at some of the incredible performance machines available today. Hopefully the government won't figure out another way to kill performance this time around.

Oh yeah, congrats on the sale. Neat car in its own right. Sorry to hijack your thread.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I just thought it would be neat to post it on here because it is such a weird little car and it happened to be for sale.

It is a weird little car and it warrants weird comments by a Super Car Forum. Farrah rocked wheres the bikini shot?

Re: 1976 Mustang II Original Survivor 4k orig mile WOW
 

Lynn, interesting recap of the mid-to-late 70's performance situation. I believe the car you are omitting is the Trans Am, which was really the only car at that point beyond the 'Vette that flew the performance banner for GM.

It's not a bikini but it's the most famous shot of her in a swim suit that I remember. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I can recall people saying that she would not wear a bikini because she had a scar from her appendix surgery. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
