Be thankful Ford built the King Cobra.

Yes, it was a glowing performance ember but it helped ignite Fox Mustang performance.

Plus, the Mustang II maintained the unbroken Mustang mechanical dna.

The 302 installed sucked then, but today, with aluminum heads, efi and toss in a supercharger and a Mustang II Cobra will live up to it's image.

the aluminum heads, EFI and the supercharger would be worth twice what the entire car would be worth!

Here we go again, what you all do best........."Cut up a car".

Don't matter what it is, it can even be a Shelby, if it is not SAAC Perfect ::) let's just cut it all up.

I'm with "Others" here, this damn forum is getting so ridiculous.

Lol, I won't respond back, I know that's what you'll want.

BTW OP 78 King Cobra's are not a replica or tribute  ::)

I'd argue it's a tribute that Ford did to honor the performance history of the Cobra. But in reality it's a mere marketing/styling exercise and example of Ford using their trademark "Cobra" to increase market share.
Ford has used the formula often - the next would be the Fox bodied GT350s that Shelby sued over and got reminded he no longer owned the trademarks. But the time you get to 2006 Ford figures out that the Cobra name just isn't enough to hype the higher cost of their SVO/SVT performance models so they bring the old snake oil salesman back on board to be the pitchman.
