I'm hoping someone can help me. I have an elderly friend that is thinking about selling her 1975 Mustang Ghia. I said I would help her, but I have no idea if this is a classic or not. I don't have any idea what to even begin to ask for it. I tried to research it online but I haven't found but a handful and none of them are in as good condition as this one. This one has 70,000 original miles and is in all original condition right down to the 8-track tape player. It has been covered since the day she bought it in 1976. It has the V8 302 engine. Any help I can get would be most appreciated. Thank you.

There are those who love the Mustang II (albeit far fewer than the earlier models) and one in that kind of condition should fetch a nice price from them. Def. have it appraised. Contact a local club as Andrew mentioned and see if they can help you.

Wow, covered and garaged since '76, 100% orig. and only 70K miles...... Man that is your ideal garage/barn/only driven on Sunday very illusive type of find!

With a little luck your friend should come out OK.

Thanks for the reply. I have an email in to the car club and am anxious to hear what they have to say.
My friend will be 81 years old next month and has loved and babied this car. She hasn't driven it in 10 years, but still goes out and starts her up regularly.

I have never been a Mustang enthusiast, but about 10 years ago, my dad bought two Mustangs for $500, a 65 and a 64 1/2. He had documentation that said the 64 1/2 was the 11th one ever made. He restored this one with all original parts and it was sweet. He enjoyed it for several years then one day a kid headed off to college fell in love with it and offered my dad $5500 for it. Everyone told my dad he could get twice that amount but my dad liked the kid and figured that was a fair price for what he had paid for it and including his labor so he sold it to him. After seeing the prices of what some of these cars go for,
I hope that kid really appreciates what he has. Maybe while browsing these forums, I will run across him. Thanks for your help!!

It's a shame but the mustang II's just don't have the following that the earlier cars have. Unfortunately that also means they don't command the prices of the earlier cars either.
You don't mention what area the car is located in but when you hear from your local mustang club they might be able to point you in the direction of someone who is knowledgable about the II's. Good luck.
