  • The Mustang II King Cobra is in the garage, new project underway!

    Well, she's finally here, in all her 34 year old glory. Haven't done a thing to her yet, other than snap a few pics. Going tomorrow morning to pick up a trunk full of spare parts from a local guy who's getting out of the Mustang II business, and I've already ordered several parts. Going to take my time with this one and at leat try to do it right! LOL!

    Be sure and pay close attention to the last picture. That is 1970's digital technology at it's very best!

    Also want to thank Kyle at Titan (and Matt, who actually did the work! LOL!) for getting her home safe and sound.

      Never liked those cars. Too much like a pinto
      Vortex rear stand $75
      8.8 410s. $50

      My goal in life is to not arrive at the grave in a well preserved body.
      but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy shit!!!.. what a ride!"

      1990 Foxbody GT for that ass

        Awesome! And damn it reminds me of Denny's old King Cobra. It was orange.

          My exact thoughts, why bother?

          I guess that's why Baskin Robbins sells 32 different flavors of ice cream.

            Strip it down and get rid of some minor rust issues first (under the battery tray and behind the right rear wheel looks like all of it). After that, a nice slow mechanical resto-mod. I'm thinking the new FRPP 306 crate motor would work pretty good. 340 hp and only 2800 pounds should be fun.

              Denny's current II is sort of inspiration for this one.

                I like the interior, but damn the exterior of the Mustang II is fugly. At least it's a King Cobra though. I still give my dad hell for trading in his 69 Mach 1 for a 76 Mustang V6.

                  Mostly because it's something I wanted when I was younger, and it's not another Fox. I've had enough of them for a while, but I do still have my '85 RS in the driveway too.

                            Just remember the '82+ 302s are 50oz imbalance and the only MII flywheel was a 143-tooth 28oz. It can make engine swaps a PITA, ask Denny about his.

                              i am still waiting to see what Denny's car looks like. I need to see at least one car that people think looks good.
