Ford Mustang 302 1978

General description : Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this rare pony in the form of a 1978 Ford Mustang. As you can see, this Mustang is one of few.. It is a REAL Monroe Handler. No, you're eyes aren't deceiving you. The wide quarters, massive rear spoiler and widened front end are all apart of the Monroe Handler. The stock 2 Barrel fed 302 under the hood runs well and is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission. Let's take a dive into this oddball and see what it's all about.


The odometer reads 23,225 miles.

In 1977, Hot Rod Magazine built the original Monroe Handler as a project car. The wild body work was performed by the famous Dave Kent of Creative Car Craft. Under the hood was a wild small block Ford that Jack Roush built. Later on, Monroe had 6 additional Handlers built. But, they were all built with fiberglass instead of metal like the original was. They were then given away as prizes around the country. This car, is one of the Famed 6. The 6 cars were all pulled from the assembly lines in a numerical order, starting with (last 3 of vin) 631-636. This was the First of the six cars built. This example is a survivor, and shows as such. The paint is worn, with a great patina. The interior is in excellent shape with only minor wear.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
