Dude that sounds better than any other car I've heard in snapin life that car rocks like crazy what year is it?

[thegreendoctor]

@TheFlipperboyz  Its a 78.

Your car is great! II's are awesome cars, from the 4 cylinder to the 302s. Lots of fun to drive.

[wissn2112]

At least the 2.3 can get some MPG. I Think I was getting 23-28 hwy mpg. Has 302 now.

@thegreendoctor no biggie. I was more explaining for the guy that said it was bad for the engine.

lol I only looked this up as I am buying a 78 mustang in 2 days thats been redone.

[thegreendoctor]

@Dunington The car had been warmed up before hand to open the automatic choke. I gave it time to build oil pressure then let her rip. Also, at the time the engine had a melted piston and was due for a rebuild shortly after this video was taken.

[Dunington]

@thegreendoctor aye but reving a car from static when you just start it up especially a car before the 80's your pistons arnt coated well. Not very good for the engine. Best to roll around a bit and let the engine warm up first.

no offense

1978 FORD MUSTANG 2 worst and ugliest mustang ever built by ford in history...

[wilmerelmejor2]

can somebody tell me is that the original engine

[SIGNALSTAT]

the main thing that would always go out on this car was the electronic igntion box under the hood on driver side.you would have to take a hammer and tap it .then the car would start right up.ford had alot of problems with this on alot of different style cars.

nice ride-i got a 93/2.3,fox bod,and i get great mpg,its fast,and one of the best rides i,ve ever had!

[bobbawon]

@thegreendoctor Ah. Yes, I know most fox owners can be a little naive. It takes some work to get them looking nice too. IMO, a V8 fox>A V8 II Whereas a 4cyl II and the King Cobra>4cyl fox and Cobra. The II's definitely have a lot more character than the cookie cutter shape (or as you say "Escort") of the fox Mustangs. Capri's are pretty hot though. Just my $0.02
