yes, they suck, but for the price you shouldnt worry about it. Hey if you like it thats all that matters, I dont know about the number of parts/accessories for it but...400 bucks isnt too bad at all.

no, they don't suck. if that is all i could find or afford, i would have one too.

being cool is a state of mind, you look pretty cool already just by buying
that ol' 78.

a 1978 Mustang II has a ton of potential, and it is funny to remember that the 78 was quicker in the quarter mile than an 82 GT. They are light, have a good suspension and can be built up. As for the Pinto comment, you're 67 has more in common with a Fairlane than a II has with a Pinto. No joke

Personally, I would not buy any American car manufactured from 1974 through 1990.

But they do have Mustang lines, unlike the FOX cars that look like a Camaro in the front and a Dodge Charger from the back.
