 Top Ten Reasons to Buy a II...
10. They II are Mustangs
9. They offer a luxurious ride
8. They are totally different from anything else on the road
7. They're getting scarce
6. They're appreciating in value
5. They're dirt cheap (mine was $200, you can get a perfect, top of the line model (cobra, king cobra) for $5-8k)
4. They are extremely easy to modify for your taste
3. They kept the Mustang name alive
2. You can have economy (2.3), power (302) , or a little of both (2.8)
1. Two words, Engine swaps... That's the cool part of a II, It came before emissions standards were as strict as they are today, and therefore have less plumbing to worry about when doing a swap, I've seen 2.3 turbos, 351Windsors, Big Blocks, and 4.0 Ranger engines in them... I'm working on an engine swap myself (still in the theoretical stage) a Vulcan or Duratec 3.0 from a Taurus!!!
__________________ 1976 Ford Mustang II Ghia: 302 with a 600cfm Edelbrock carb, Edelbrock Performer 289 intake, Dynomax Blackjack headers, 2.5" exhaust with Flowmaster Super 44s. RJS 11-gallon fuel cell, C4 tranny, chrome 16" pony wheels, fuzzy dice, brown vinyl half-top, and painted in the tackiest color ever (harvest gold, that's why I call it "The Goldenrod").
Also have a 2003 Dodge Ram (lightly modded daily driver/tow rig/office/dining room/home away from home/workshop... I call it "The Big Blue Dawg".) | 
It looked complete. Needed some work, but it was'nt bad looking. I'll try to get some info on it and a pic.
