Felt bad that its been nearly 6 months & the ugly duckling of the Mustang family hasnt got a thread yet.
So does anyone like em? or like me do you wonder WTF Ford were thinking. We know about the fuel crisis but Geez

It's a bit WTF to me, though more so the 80's ones.
But to each, his own!

I'm certainly not one to criticise anyone else's choice in car as that is just downright rude but they are definately NOT my cuppa tea...

Not a big fan, but they aren't all bad. I could dig this one :
Plus I seem to recall one in Mustang Monthly a few issues back that looked OK.
Cheers,
Frank.

If it's got a V8 and a mustang badge, it's ok.

For some reason 2nd gen muzzies remind me a bit of the Toyota Cressida in the front end - style for that time period I guess ... not so much my thing but whatever floats your boat!

I dont mind them actually. A few years ago I was looking for one for a track/strip car but all I could find locally had been converted (chain drive) and that put me off.
But the power to weight and a pretty nice front end setup is still tempting.

This Cobra 2 was on the 1994, 5 & 6 Mustangs Across America runs with us. Has a red hot Boss 302 engine. Owner (Pete) is a Canadian Mounted Policeman (Canada Highway Patrol), neat fella & car, OK it broke a lot, but still fun.
He is the original owner....

Not a lot of interest in drag cars really. There's probably something on it I could use though for sure if it was free
