Mustang Coupe - 1977

flatblack94 · February 17th, 2011, 05:07 PM

looks like a clean car, my dad had a 75 similar to that 302 auto notchback, it was a good car fun to drive, quick and gets a lot of looks cuz you dont see a lot of them. The problem is that they arent very desirable so if you buy it for that much you most likely wont make any money when you sell it. All in all though it looks like a decent car for a fair price.

yeah well it will be my first car so i wont sell it for a while =)

themanwithaplan · February 17th, 2011, 05:23 PM

are the 70s models somewhat fuel efficient?

flatblack94 · February 17th, 2011, 05:49 PM

not unless it its a 4 or 6 cylinder, ithe fact that it is a 3 speed auto and a v8 kills the gas mileage but it is also a relativley small car so maybe like 15mpg's just a guess i dont really know. The one we had was only driven on weekends and generally it was driven hard so the mpgs went down the drain hahah, but on the bright side its only like a ten gallon tank so it doesnt cost a lot to fill, i guess that might make you feel good =p

that doesnt sound right though. my friend has a 74 nova and gets about 19 mpg

flatblack94 · February 18th, 2011, 11:43 PM

it could be better i was just throwing a # out there, all deprnds on how you drive if you baby it you could be around 20mpg if you romp on it probably around 12mpgs

Best I ever got from my V8 hatch with a 4 gear was 17 and I'm not sure how that happened.

15 was the norm, IF I kept the tach under 3k. and warmed it up. Mileage was pitiful on short runs.

But then I swapped axles and used 14s (195-70 I think) with a slightly higher compression head with early 2bbl and intake and got 20~22.

My 76 ghia 302 / C4 combo bested @ 17 on the highway if I kept it under 80mph. Driving around town, 13-14 was the norm.
