The seller offers for sale a 1977 Ford Mustang II Coupé, a compact variant of the iconic American muscle car line, equipped with a 2.8L six-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. Showing 81,931 km on the odometer, this car is a rare European-delivered example with Belgian origin, although the registration papers are not present. A purchase invoice from a car dealership is included.
This Mustang is described as cosmetically well-preserved. The paintwork is in very good condition, with only minimal wear such as small scratches or dents, and no signs of rust or prior accident damage. The body lines appear clean and straight, and all lighting components are working. The car has power steering as a factory feature, but no other noted technical upgrades.
The interior is reported to be in very good shape. The dashboard, front and rear seats, and upholstery retain their original presentation, with no missing or damaged components. According to the seller, the cabin remains in mint condition and requires no restoration.
Mechanically, the vehicle starts without hesitation and shifts gears smoothly. The car has been stationary for several years and, although recently made drivable, the seller notes that some fine-tuning of the engine is recommended before regular use. The braking and shifting systems function properly.
There is currently no valid technical inspection due to the car’s storage history. The Mustang is being sold as-is, and while it runs, a full mechanical inspection and recommissioning are advisable before daily use.
The Mustang II was introduced in 1974 as a smaller, more economical successor to the original Mustang. Built on the Ford Pinto platform, the second-generation Mustang responded to growing fuel economy concerns in the post-oil-crisis era. Though divisive in its styling and performance compared to its predecessor, the Mustang II was a commercial success, offering affordable sporty looks and practicality to a wide range of buyers.
By 1977, Ford had made various refinements to the Mustang II, with trim options that included luxury and performance packages. This particular car, equipped with a 2.8L V6 and manual gearbox, offered respectable performance for the time while remaining easy to maintain. While the Mustang II is often overlooked compared to earlier or later generations, it has gained increasing recognition in recent years as a distinctive chapter in Mustang history.
This car presents an opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts looking to acquire a complete, largely original Mustang II with European history. With verified mileage, preserved condition, and roadworthy potential, it would make a great candidate for light restoration or occasional use with period-correct flair.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
