Well, it's just a bit easier to justify if it's an investment, and if it's an authentic KC then it's a much better investment.
Personally, for my own enjoyment I don't give a rat's patoot if it's a numbers matching car or not. Looks the same to me, and if she has it where it counts it saves me alot of $$ I would have had to spend on the drivetrain if I bought an authentic KC.
I think I'll check it out, if it's a real KC I'll offer the fella maybe $2500 and see if he'd take it. If it's not authentic, I'll show him the numbers to prove it, and offer less...

Looks like a fun car. A lot of potetial there. I have owned a hatchback and a cobra II, they are fun to drive. Both were V8 cars, not the fastest cars but they were both 2bbl. Even without much power they burned up tires and ate up Camaros. With the 4bbl and the 5 lug it might just be a monster.I don't own them now but I do miss them. I would buy it.

The newest Mustang II is almost 30 years old. The classic people need to realize that they are Mustang history. In 1974 that is what people wanted, and that is what Ford gave them. If the Mustang II wasn't a success I don't think there would have been anymore, so anyone with a newer Mustang should be grateful.
The Mustang II "IS" a classic.

THANK YOU!!!!!!
this has been what i have been saying all along [8D]
since the fox body ran all the way to 93, i really dont consider a 79 a classic because it looks similar to what you still see driving all around, but 78 or earlier you just dont see running around. not to mention everyone crushes them cause they are "just a mustang II" which is going to make them that much harder to find than the classics. i mean, your almost never going to run out of 64 1/2 - 66 coupes ya know?

I was always told that it was a glorified Pinto. That is until I would fill the street full of smoke from the tires. Mine were both autos and I could put my foot on the brake stomp the gas and it would go up to 80mph in a hurry without moving an inch. After a display like that no one ever wanted to race. I had a friend with a 70 Camaro 350 and I spanked him . He said thats what happens when you put a V8 in a pop can. Like the 70 Camaro wasn't a light car. I also beat another friends 78 Camaro but that is a heavy car. The guy with the 78 put a bunch of money into it then decided to get a 2001 Mustang GT convertable and never looked back.
Props to the Mustang II no matter what anyone else says.
