1976 Ford Mustang II Mach 1 Hatchback - Two For The Show - Mach1Guy - 02-01-2010 Quote:Dick Stokes has a teddy-bear persona, yet he clearly is all business-a nice guy committed to the art of the deal. He's a sales executive attuned to the belief you don't get what you earn-you get what you negotiate. And this '76 Mustang II Mach 1 hatchback is all about negotiation, proving why it's a better Mustang than the more popular classics.

I would buy one and I would drive it but they just do not hold much interest for me. Something akin to the Bronco II. Again the numbers are right in almost every aspect (from a four wheeler perspective) but I would take a early Bronco or the Big Bronco (after all I am a 71-73 Mach 1 owner) everyday over the Bronco II. Maybe someday I will come across a little Mustang II coupe, find an EFI turbo four and a five speed combo to put in it and drive the ultimate sleeper. Their day is coming and we will all wallow in our remorse that we did not grab that one so easily within our reach when no one cared! Now where did I see that one the other day? RE: 1976 Ford Mustang II Mach 1 Hatchback - Two For The Show - Rare Pony - 05-03-2011 There are some sharp looking Mustang II's out there including the Mach 1's. They were kind of fun to drive. The old girlfriend I bought my 73 convertible from bought a 74 Mustang II hatchback to replace it. It was a fun car at the time. |
