Hi there! I am the proud owner of 2 Mustangs at current. Hubby and I recently sold his 00 Cobra R. and 90 LX Convertible.

I may have the opportunity to purchase a Mustang II Ghia. Back in 1974 I had ordered one from the factory and kept it for 10 years.

There is an older lady that doesn't drive hers anymore and I am hoping she will sell it to me soon. She is the original owner and it is a yellowish color. Don't rightly know the Ford color name. I am not sure if it is a 75 or a 76 model or a 4 or 6 cylinder. It is an automatic. I have not seen it in many years. She only drove it to the stores and back and for a couple of years it was used in Hawaii when they lived there. I know that it has not been driven for about 3 years, but she has a man that changes the oil and starts it up for her every so often I hear.

The body is in excellent condition and I am sure the interior is too. It has always been garaged.

I am wonderingt what the going price would be for one with low miles. I don't know how many miles, but I expect it to be around 75,000. $1,00-$2,000?

Thanks,
Vicki

TwoStang, a fair price on that car, from what you've described, would start at about $1,000-1,500 if it's just a decent/drivable 4-cylinder and top out at $3,000-3,500 or so if it's an absolute cream puff with a V6.

Edsel, $300 for a '74, if it runs and just needs some body work, isn't bad at all, I paid $200 for mine barely running (needed a cam and a carburetor, both were in bad shape) and needing a front fender. The '74s have their good and bad points, as they look a little better with the deeper front valance and grille, but weren't designed for the V8, making it more work to get one in there (you'll have to cut/modifiy the radiator support, and reinforce the chassis, more info on that is in the Mustang II Tech forum in various different threads, you may have to go back a few pages from the front page to find the info, I wrote quite a bit of it when I was doing all the research to put a 289 in my own '74 (probably do it this winter, has a fairly heavily modded 2.3 in it now).
