Dark Yellow Green 1974 Mustang II showing the standard 1974 hubcap which featured a galloping horse on a red background center medallion. This was the first year of the Mustang II which had a complete redesign which replaced the fastback with a hatchback. Although all the designs continued to have a long hood and short back deck.

This is a before/after photo of Craig Robertson's 1974 Mustang II notchback. It has a 302ci V8 and an automatic transmission. Craig says, "I bought this Mustang in 1984 as a car to drive to college. After the first year I drove it, the body was redone and it never saw another winter. After my kids were born, it was put away and is sitting in a barn waiting for them to finish college." It has been repainted to Medium Forest Gray. Here is his website. https://www3.sympatico.ca/craig.robertson1/

This Medium Copper (Chestnut) 1974 Mach 1 is owned by Bobby Aldrich and is our Attitude of the Week starting August 28, 2017. Bobby writes, I bought my 1974 Mustang Mach1 project car from Arnold Marks at Mustangs Etc. in Van Nuys, CA. in July of 2015. The car had been sitting with 152K and a broken off crank pulley bolt since 1986. I had the car shipped to me after seeing a few pictures of it. I love the original cooper color with tan interior. I like my cars some what stock looking. I found the engine was not original to the car and with all of the parts that were missing, I decided to added and delete options to make the car the way I would have ordered it in 1974. It had a 2.8L V6, C/4, A/C, P/S, PB and a 6 3/4" rear end with 3:55 gears. The options I chose were a 2.3L that gave you a $ 229 credit when ordered on the Mach 1. A 4 speed, PB, No A/C or P/S, a 8" rear end with 3:00 gears. Ford didn't offer 3:00 in 74 I just had to have the freeway gears, console, clock, deluxe door panels, rear sway bar and a AM FM 8 track stereo. I also added aftermarket rear window louvers. I've done all of the work on the car myself and made all of the changes the way they would have been done at the factory, I used all of the correct parts including wire harnesses. I used NOS and reproduction parts when I could find them and reconditioned used parts when I had to. 1974 Mustangs are even rare among Mustang II's in 2016. I have found the 1974's have many unique one year only parts. I will use the car for weekend driving and car shows along with my
four other Mustang II's.
