Second Generation Ford Mustang (1974–1978)

5 listings

Second Generation Ford Mustang for sale.

The Mustang II — built on the Pinto platform during the energy crisis. Smaller, lighter, and (for most of its run) without a V8 option. Often dismissed by enthusiasts, but the 1976-1978 Cobra II and 1978 King Cobra have a cult collector following, and the 1977-1978 5.0L V8 cars are the only V8 Mustangs of the era. Mustang II front-suspension subframes are still a popular hot-rodding swap.

What to look for on a 1974–1978 Mustang

  • Pinto-shared chassis prone to rust at strut towers and rocker panels
  • Weak rear axle on V8 cars under any tuning effort
  • 2.8L V6 timing gear failure (fiber gear) — replace with steel gear
  • Vacuum-line spaghetti on smog-era V8 makes diagnosis painful
  • King Cobra and Cobra II graphics packages frequently faked — verify documentation
