1976 | Ford Mustang II Ghia 170

Automatic translation suggestion. Original language of the auction listing: German.

The Mustang II Ghia was offered as a more luxurious version of the Mustang II. It featured a vinyl roof and an upgraded interior intended to convey a European flair. The design was influenced by the renowned Italian design house Ghia, which Ford had acquired. The Mustang II Ghia was available with various engines, including a 2.3-liter inline-four and a 2.8-liter V6. Later, a 4.9-liter V8 engine was also offered. The Ford Mustang II was more compact than its predecessors, in response to the oil crisis and the demand for smaller, more economical cars. It was about 35 centimeters shorter and 12 centimeters narrower than the previous model.

The Ghia version of the Ford Mustang II featured luxurious details such as an "Opera" window and an upgraded interior. In 1974, the Ford Mustang II was awarded "Car of the Year" by Motor Trend Magazine.

Although the Mustang II often stands in the shadow of the first Mustang generation, it has developed its own cult status. Especially the Ghia versions, which combine European design with American technology, have a loyal fan base.

The vehicle in question is being sold without keys and documents as a restoration project. It was acquired as a running and driving vehicle and came into the hands of the current owner as part of a collection. Unfortunately, there was and is no time to make the car roadworthy, which is why the vehicle is now being given up and is to be handed over to knowledgeable enthusiast hands.
