Yeah they really picked a poor name for that one.
Name a hated car that you wouldn't mind owning.

Mustang 2. I'd build a clone of Roush's Sudden Death..
Aliens like those cars too.
Nothing more than a Pinto with a trunk. I can't get beyond the styling. Too bad they have the right weight to put a lot of power into. They are like the pretty girls homely friend and you are the wingman!

T'd like to own one of the 70's cars with all the crazy-*** decals just to be obnoxious.
And 12 horsepower to back those decals up!

Those mustang II's were not terrible cars.
Just not what people were used to.
302 v8, manual trans available, and rack and pinion steering.
That malaise/hoopla (interesting oxymoron, but it was true) was nothing compared to the intro of the fox body mustang.

The only time a Mustang II ever got my attention was when Farrah Fawcett got out of one.
A damn shame to think how many were destroyed in demo-derbies, think I heard somewhere it was among preferred 'rides' in those derbies cuz they were hard to kill.

No way !!!
An old Studebaker Lark. I'd want to drag it like I saw in one of dad's old Hot Rod magazines as a kid. Very ugly IMO, but could be a ton of fun sending one down the 1/4.
Just for fun...

Kind of ironic that when I had my car on the road, the guy who was the best source for parts was a demo derby driver. He had an Imperial junkyard of over 100 cars. He never ran the good ones, sold them whole to hobbyists. By the time he started his parts business, the Imperials had been banned from many derbies. The radiator was mounted far enough back in the frame rails it was almost impossible to take out.
This one still cracks me up...
That's nice to hear, I cringe when I watch old film of derbies some nice rides being murdered right before your eyes..

Me neither. But I think most see it as a rebadged Cordoba, and no one really likes Cordobas.
I didn't either, I had an '80 Cordoba in the early 80's, black/red interior, console, floor shift. Liked the looks; but motor ills. Had a '76 too, same deal, lean burn command center was a heavy - burn for me. Three times a charm? Don't know, never bought a 3rd.
