Ok stop right now. I know what some of you are thinking. A 1978 Mustang II….. oh please!! There were no muscle cars in the mid and late 70’s. There were no power house Mustangs on the market at that time.
While that is true, the Mustang II did sell over 1 million copies. We had one in our family when I was in college. A 1974 Mustang II Ghia:
1976 Mustang Cobra II
But is labeled “all show and no go” by most critics. I like the look!!! Just to make less exciting you could get the package on a 4 cylinder!!! WHY??? WHY??? WHY???? Oh well. The package was added by Jim Wangers’s Motortown company but only for 1976. (Can you say “collector status”? – yes.) Ford began adding the kit at the plant.
The Snake!!!
1978 King Cobra
And the answer is:
1966 AMC Rambler
John F Comeau won this one for the blog.
No winner on AFCC.
Remember to win the DVD or other prize you have to collect 5 wins.
Another coming up tomorrow night.

Ok this is one of the big three.
These came with various engine sizes and in two and four door.
Back then not really considered a muscle car, but I’ve seen some you’d call American Muscle with no problem.
Name that Car #4
Good Luck.
Thanks for reading.

Comment:
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.
Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color. But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.
So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca. The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.
Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.
So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.
I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.
Thanks for reading.
