Raise your hand if you've ever seen one of these? I don't see any hands... It's a 1976 Mustang II with the Monroe Handler body kit. The car is being restored by Ricky Shuler. The Handler body kit consists of 8 pieces of fiberglass. It came out in mid 1977 and fit any of the fastback Mustang IIs (74-78). The body it was used to promote the Monroe Handler series street performance shock absorbers.
Check out the rear end of the Monroe Handler body kit. It changes the whole look of the back of the car.

Blue 1976 Mustang II Cobra hatchback owned by Alan L. Pyatt from Phillipsburg, New Jersey. Alan tells us, "Original car was purchased the end of July, 2011. A donor parts car was purchased in January 2012. The original Cobra's body was terribly compromised, so between it and the donor car I was able to get the car complete again. I swapped out interiors for the black in the donor car because black and blue just seem right together, especially for a Mustang. The original engine was rebuilt, but had an undetected crack in one of the cylinders, so a late 67 factory 302 block was purchased in place of it. It has TRW pistons .030 over, Comp Cam lifters, push rods and 265H camshaft, Ford Racing Whirlwind Aluminum heads, Summit intake, 670 Holley Street Avenger Carb, steel forged crank, all new bearings, chrome molly rings, Champion Billet Radiator good to 650 HP, and Hedman headers. The C4 was rebuilt with a B&M shift kit. The exhaust is Thrush Cheery bombs that exit in front of the rear wheels. Stripes are from Graphics Express. The paint was purchased on eBay as was much of the parts, or from Mustang/Cobra II web sites."
