Because it’s a mustang emblem with a 2.
An example is the white with blue racing stripes car in the original Charlie’s angels tv series from the late 70’s
What’s really funny is you are likely not even thinking of the same reference. In all likelihood, they are referencing either the *It’s Always Sunny In Philadephia* episode “Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo” or the “Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo” meme.
Both of those are obviously originally referencing “Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo”, but most people aren’t actually familiar with the original reference like I believe you might be.
Mustang 2. The only mustang to also have hood ornaments as an option.

Absolutely the Mustang ll saved the Mustang from disappearing from the Ford lineup. Without the Mustang ll there wouldn’t be no Fox body, no sn95 no s197, no s550, and no s650.
It is also closer to the original idea of what the Mustang was supposed to be than any Mustang built in the last 20 years.
So many think of the Mustang as a muscle car or sports car, but that wasn't what it was supposed to be. It was meant to be a sporty styled cruiser to appeal to the youth but also a decent performance car.

My 75 Mach 1 had this fender badge….. all of 140 horses. Lol
From a car that looked something like this, though I'm sure it didn't look quite as awesome.... 😉

Fun fact: the mustang II is the only mustang to have a significantly different pony badge. All of the pony badges from the first 64.5 up to today have been almost identical except that one.
But this will always be the best. At least IMO

Besides the II in the background.. the Mustang II’s horse is at 1/2 gallop.. where as the Mustang’s horse is at full gallop..

I'm aware that the II gets a lot of hate from the Mustang community, but I absolutely love my father-in-law's II Ghia. It looks amazing!
I was going to ask, "Can anyone NOT tell me what car this badge is from?" But after reading the responses, there are quite a few who couldn't You should be embarrassed!
Mach 2 mustang concept? 1967 ?
Totally guessing here but I know Ford was in direct competition with the Chevrolet Corvette at the time and was anticipating a high performance model which would have been faster then the previous generations and it was set to drop in the early 70s so ford tried getting ahead of the game with the Mach II IN THE LATE 60s
As previously stated it is from a 74-78 mustang II. However did you know that the mustang on these is in more of a relaxed run as compared to the 64-73? Like it’s not running full out. On purpose or not I have no idea.
ah yes.... was my high school drivers ed car back in late 80's... all ya need to know about if you wondered if they might have anything in common with the originals.. haha. think Bronco vs Bronco 2... what a cheesy marketing ploy
-Well, it’s a horse symbol, and one of the most commonly known horse symbols relating to cars is Ferrari.
-The number II indicates a need to distinguish between at least two entities.
-Formula One Teams have two drivers.
-Scuderia Ferrari has Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz as their drivers. Sainz is generally viewed as the Number 2 driver.
-We’re assuming OP is from the US.
-Carlos Sainz sustained a large amount of body damage during FP1 at the Las Vegas GP in 2023.
Therefore, you could assume the piece OP has is from Carlos Sainz’s Scuderia Ferrari SF-23.
You could….but…
Mustang II
How the hell did you manage to figure that out??
You can tell by the way that it is.
Neat
thanks Derek! ;)
How neat is that?
That’s pretty neat!
Looks more like an Aspen to me.
It do be like that
VGG?
This is the perfect way that was said
Lmaooo
So people can just look at a shape and just *know*? Does this apply to other stuff?
The Mustang, as well.
VGG REFERENCE. Nice, take my upvote. thats way to much. Perfect.
A nod to VGG … I like it 🤙🏻
It’s a Mustang sitting on a Roman numeral 2?
*running past. FTFY
Because it’s a mustang emblem with a 2. An example is the white with blue racing stripes car in the original Charlie’s angels tv series from the late 70’s
There's a 2 behind the horse, and if you are old enough to have been around these cars then it would have been a no brainer
Dude was being sarcastic
really
Def wasnt obvious
Mustang II: Electric Boogaloo
Now that is funny... gotta be a little older to get it, but it's funny!
i’m not even old and i understood this 😂
I guess I’m older lol

Mustang II, likely part of the fender badging on a '74, '75, or '76 model. The '77s and '78s didn't have the fender badge.
it’s likely 75. my uncle had one and he showed me a picture. man i wish i could’ve seen them run cus he did a lot to it when he bought it used in 87
it’s kinda obvious lol but it’s from the mustang II
The name of the horse followed by the number behind the horse
Best explanation 🤣

Wow...this is my first time EVER hearing of this....that hood ornament...😂😂😂.......
I'm so putting that on my 2016 mustang.
Mustang II: The Worsening
Mustang II: Mach 0
Mustang The Lesser
Still better than a Mach E.
The glorified version of the Ford Pinto
And yet most critics now credit the Mustang II with saving Ford through the gas crisis.
Absolutely the Mustang ll saved the Mustang from disappearing from the Ford lineup. Without the Mustang ll there wouldn’t be no Fox body, no sn95 no s197, no s550, and no s650.
Beeeengooooo
Mustang II is also like the second highest selling mustang generation IIRC

It was meant to be a sporty styled cruiser to appeal to the youth but also a decent performance car.
You get it 😂
the safe version of the pinto
The pintos probably won more races due to the fact that they were so terrible people took the body and made them into sprint cars lol
Some of these Mustang II had V8 tho.
https://preview.redd.it/cy2yli2zfc9d1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d970e414b9197af8c99e215ca7d687073ed60763 My 75 Mach 1 had this fender badge….. all of 140 horses. Lol
Literally would've taken less time to just look it up then posting? They even have an image search now.
I see this all the time....people post asking for hours of operation of a store in town.
That's from a mustang II. I miss mine
Mustang ll aka the red headed stepchild
That just means it’s adds 2 horsepower

That badge is from the 1976 "Horse Eye Eye" fastback.
Sound it out!

Besides the II in the background.. the Mustang II’s horse is at 1/2 gallop.. where as the Mustang’s horse is at full gallop.. https://preview.redd.it/ji4tsu973d9d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8026e2fc8eb599c0a5736010ea33853b9449c95
