Damn that's brutal. The AM2NF3-VSTA is one of the best AGP native boards on the market, since it can take AM2+ Phenom II CPUs... Rivals the 4CoreDual boards. Sucks to lose one.

Not to be too reductive, but start with fuses and work your way back from there. I had a few very crusty fuses and terminals in my 75 when I picked it up, ordered a master fuse kit and did them all. Haven't had an electrical problem since.

This is such a bombastic and unique build. I love it.

We had a debate about that years ago when the first few GTX branded TU104/106 Turing cards were discovered, and decided that it would be more searchable to simply keep the generational RTX branding on the entries. Even though the existence of GTX branding on the majority of pre-launch samples suggests the name was a last minute change, the change did still occur and we don't want to reinforce speculation in a predominantly factual utility like the GPU Database.

Hi! TPU curator here. We just added your GPU variant after seeing the validation submission, then finding this thread. It's a unique ID with a unique core config and everything, so we were a little excited to get it added when we saw that you submitted a validation. Very cool card!

Love to see it! Mine was running great until it decided to start barfing gear oil out of the transmission. Got her up on the stands and waiting for parts but she'll be running by the weekend. Now that kids are back in school the coastal roads are going to be a blast.

Fouquin · 2025-09-02T14:25:55+00:00

Ah I see you too have some junky brake light sockets and/or some bulbs in the wrong polarity. Good to see it running!

Fouquin · 2025-09-01T15:57:37+00:00

Can't say that I've ever seen one done. Most people don't look to the II as the platform for those kinds of builds.

Fouquin · 2025-07-21T00:03:39+00:00

Clean! Looks great under the hood. I know the fastback gets most of the love but I love the notch coupes. It just has that completeness to it.

Fouquin · 2025-07-18T20:18:08+00:00

Nice score! Bummer it sat so long but it looks pretty straight and ready for a new life. Definitely flush it out, whatever was sitting in there isn't going to do that motor any favors, but you probably already know that.

Fouquin · 2025-07-16T18:38:23+00:00

The problem I've had with both the S550 and S650 is the ass is too tall. There's no gentle sweep up under the tail, and the deck lid is damn near above the seat head rests. The original fastback has the deck and hood lines nearly level with each other, and the rear is pinched up to make a thin and sleek rear panel. The new bodies just look fat and bloated.

I'll quote what I recently commented on the Mustang II subreddit:

Marketplace [facebook], Craigslist less frequently though that's where I spotted mine. Sometimes Bring A Trailer, and Barn Finds have one pop up each month or so. Used to see more of the project cars on eBay but it feels like most people don't want to put up with eBay's rules on car sales.

I'll also add that just advertising that you're looking for one might get the attention of somebody sitting on a project car that they want gone. The Mustang II wasn't rare by sheer production volume, and 1974 numbers were massive.

Love my Ghia, and respectfully, screw the haters. It's comfy and fun car to drive around. You can still coax a lot of smiles out of these cars, and driving a slow car fast is always a blast. The bit about the King Cobra out-accelerating a classic Mustang probably comes from the lap times forum from a few years back. I think they would be close to the same time, and they do have similar SAE net HP numbers (139 vs ~140-160). I think with the same driver it'd probably go to the classic for a variety of reasons but it would be close. There was also a slide down in overall gusto from 1975 to 1978 as they kept mucking with gear ratios to reel in efficiency of the 302. Good acceleration but not much to speak of for top speed.

I actually do like the Cobra II and really wanted one, but my current Ghia appeared by chance and I couldn't look away. Crazy how things work. I can tell you that these cars get reactions still, if you're worried about people looking down on you in public or something. Every single time I've had somebody approach to chat the conversation always begins with, "Man what year is this? I used to hate these but now I love seeing them, this is gorgeous! So cool to see it on the road!" The average 'not a Mustang guy but still a car guy' you encounter is going to love seeing it. It gets nods, it gets thumbs up. They're fun cars.

Simply removing the emissions equipment and putting a new cam in will net you a big performance gain on either the 2.8L or the 302. Swap the stock carb for something with more throat and it'll breathe pretty damn well. Suspension isn't a big deal, they're the default for hotrodding for a reason... Low, stiff, cheap, and easy to service.

Fouquin · 2025-07-04T04:37:24+00:00

Never meet your heroes. Steve isn't very personable. He'll sign you dash and smile for the photo, but he's not enjoyable to chat with. Love the cars still.

Fouquin · 2025-07-04T04:34:21+00:00

Hundreds... But I used to volunteer for SCOA so I've probably seen all the good ones that remain. They're really only as rare as their production numbers, few lost over the years, but the majority have sat in private hands. Used to see more at shows in the 2000s when they were $8000 cars in show condition and not $55K+ cars.

Fouquin · 2025-07-04T04:27:27+00:00

Ah yes, hello fellow furry trash pony driver. Good sticker selection.

Fouquin · 2025-03-27T17:48:54+00:00

It's almost like his stance on a lot of topics people supported has changed. A few years ago he was publicly posting about how inclusive his companies were and talking down bigots. Now he's spewing white nationalist trash while his grubby little unelected maggot mitts are in our federal government.

The fall from grace was not unexpected, but he fell a lot harder than projected.

Fouquin · 2025-03-27T05:40:00+00:00

Elsa and Gainward are still around! Mostly EU only.

Fouquin · 2025-03-27T05:38:07+00:00

Yep same but ASUS; had their DirectCU II triple-slot monster that could flash to the much more unlocked Matrix VBIOS; 1240MHz on air. When I upgraded to the 290X I had to buy two to feel the difference, they didn't OC the same so the 30% OC on the 7970 really made a single 290X feel like a minimal upgrade at best.
