"Is the 1978 Ford Mustang II Worth the $9,500 Price Tag?"

A 1978 Ford Mustang II restomod is up for sale at $9,500, featuring a newer fuel-injected 302 engine, four-speed manual transmission, refreshed exhaust, new paint and upholstery, and a custom stereo installation. Despite the Mustang II's vilification over time, the car's unpopularity was more a result of the challenging era it was born into, marked by tightening emissions and safety standards, fuel economy concerns, and competition from foreign makes. The asking price for this restored Mustang II raises the question of whether the improvements justify the cost or if the stigma surrounding the model still lingers.
