I’d start off today’s HFOD with a plea for the end of the Mustang II’s time as an automotive punchline, but as an AMC nut, I should know better – some things just don’t change, including many people’s perception of the Mustang II as nothing more than a dolled up Pinto. Which, to tell the truth, is just fine for the people who really do appreciate cars like this 1977 Ford Mustang II – they don’t have to spend a fortune to buy the cars they like with so many fewer people clamoring for them. From the seller’s description:

1977 Mustang II Fastback with 302 V8 engine. Cobra styled with aftermarket front and rear spoilers. Right now it sports a 1978 hood with hood scoop, but it also comes with the original 1977 hood in good shape, with original paint. Interior is in very good shape, except that the dash has a couple of cracks in it. Underside is in good shape. We have not driven it in winter in the three years we have owned it.
