Good looking car there. Like the color/stripe combo

scottie1113

Yeah, beautiful car and beautiful color. Although I hate pure white cars (refrigerators) I think this baby would look great in white with blue stripes.

Arin, I'm amazed you reached more than the two of you who are II fans. Sorry. I just couldn't resist and I know you have thick skin! It's all in fun.

Totally off topic, but when I was 19 in lived in SF and was one of the 7 members (if there were that many!) of the John Brodie fan club. I also got a Christmas card from Hugh McElhenny when I worked for his company driving a truck after school at SFO when I was in college. You probably don't even know who they were.

That looks great, you can just about pull anything off with the 05

future9er24

oh man, nearly spit my soda out when i read that. oh if only you knew....
lol
yeah like im not gonna know who Hugh McElhenny is can you say "pro bowl, 1958"

never underestimate an obsessed 16 year old

i read that book about the niners 1958 season buddy :dance: cant touch this :P

and if you, or anyone else, is interested its called "Before they were Champions: the San Fransisco 49ers 1958 season" by Martin S Jacobs. great book, i loved it (didnt see that coming didja? ) but really it is a great book for any footbal fan who wants to know more about that time period.

Brodie, along with Tittle, are some of the less celebrated niners QBs, but i dont car all you need to be great in my book is to don that red'n'gold and play your heart out

oh and about that II comment. just remember, the niners werent paraded like gods during the 70's either, but then look what happend in the 80s. IIs are comin back baby

no harm dont though

boy do i feel smug right now, thanks you just made my day lol rock on!

What is this "Mustang II" of which you speak? I know of no such vehicle in my universe....

future9er24

sit own, time to do some learnin'

the MII was the redesign of the 'stang ofter 1973. by that time, the gas crisis was killing just about every big motored musclecar around. Ford thought the Mustang had exploded in proportions anyway so along came the small and timid Mustang II. 1974 was the only year with no available V8 (a 2.3L 4 and a 2.8L 6 were all you got) but it also won Car of the Year for being the right car at the right time. 5.0 came back in'75 but was grossly underpowered. i blame smog equip, recycler valves and such. but ppl dont realize that its just as easy to make a beast out of a 5.0 II as it is from an early fox (who didnt have much more hp anyways). the II has bee the red-faired stp kid of the mustang family for a while, but despite that there is a loyal following, if you lolok hard enough IIs are ideal due to their small size and low weight. no matter what kind of racing you're doing, weight = bad. and the MII is darn sexy to boot.the body lines are exquisite, capturing just enough classic look with some newer design cues. also, it was the first stang with rack and pnion steering. many a II has been hacked for their front suspension to be put into street rods

people these days dont give enough respect for the II, but that is changing. there are a good deal of II fans here and on other sites. i've had people call my II "a POS poser mustang that deserves to be scrapped. its a disgrace to the mustang name" (all thbis coming from kid who doesnt pay for his own cars or insurance, has wrecked two sdtangs himself, and has had his license suspended for streetracing and crashing into a deli during the school's lucnh break. so its safe to say, he's not exactly knowledgable.

hope my brief explanation ansewred your Q
check the timeling for 1974-78 mustangs to get some pics and learn s'more

Arin, I love your enthusiam for your car and your team. You're a good kid.

future9er24

my 'fro too. dont forget the 'fro

thanks man, that really means alot! way different than being called just another stupid kid i really appreciate it. BTW how far is grass valley from the bay? maybe when the II is done we could find a track and race a bit

Strickland

My first thought when I saw this was, "Should've been Black and Gold" either or I think it looks pretty frikking good.

future9er24

black and gold would be pretty awesome too

of course..... i still want my red'n'gold cobra II paintjob

BigDog

Arin, thanks for the write-up! I was really just being facetious, being old enough to actually remember that day in late 1973 when Ford unveiled the Mustang II and we all looked at it and collectively said, "Say what?" "THAT'S a Mustang?"

The V8 models were pretty quick, as I recall, and Farrah Fawcett drove one on 'Charlie's Angels,' ( to a 14-year-old) but after growing up with the likes of the Shelby GT-350 and 500, the GT390 fastback and the original Mach 1, the MII was a crushing disappointment.

Even the poster that Kevin sent with my wheel locks has the evolution of Mustang at the bottom. It skips the MII entirely.............

future9er24

facetious..... ym vocabulary instincts tell me i was supposed to learn that word last year.... lol

and to a 16 year old
