Someone has to have one of these! They really were not that bad a car. 302s ran pretty good for the anemic 70s!!

I have seen some nice ones (as long as they dont have that giant COBRA decal on it)!

Silvernotch probably knows, he keeps talking about buying one in a few years.

I used to live in Stockdale, there was a red one parked outside of a shop. That was two or three years ago. Real clean but never really saw it move.

I'm sure there is but there was never a forum for them to post in, so I created one:goodidea:

That's the reason for my screen name here! My second car was a '78 Mustang Cobra II... yep, it had the big ugly stickers. Worse yet, it was a V6. I enjoyed the car though. It did handle well.

He's not real active on here, but Mark Brewer is cobra_II or something like that. He has a '78 King Cobra Mustang II, that is all black, really nice car. He runs in Modified at PRP.

Several of us on here own Pinto's in some form ...

MII's are bascially fancy Pinto's ;) That should get both the Pinto and MII guys fired up ;)

I liked Pintos!!! I had a friend of mine and we cruised in a Mercury Bobcat (Pinto):pepper:

My first car was a 75 Mustang II, started life as a 4 cyl, and about 4 years in ended up with a 68 302 and a C4, never a 'rocket ship' but performed OK and sounded great. Wedging the headers into that car was an absolute nightmare, I remember spending countless hours working on that beast, and scouring salvage yards in the late 80's early 90's to find parts.

I sold it about 10 years ago (still kick myself in the ass), it may still be on the road somewhere. Thought about getting another, but never did, I would buy that one back though, in a heartbeat! It was a 'family' car - went from my uncle (original owner) to my cousin to my mom, then me. I still find paperwork for laying around my garage.

It would be cool to stuff an SVO turbo 2.3 into a Cobra II.

That would have been the ticket (if the technology existed back then).

It could have transformed the II into a desirable classic!

Nice Mustang II. Years ago when I just got my 86 GT, there was a 1978 Mach 1 for sale. It had a 302 and T tops. I came close to buying it for $1500, It was a clean car when I lived in FLA!!!

I had a another friend of mine who had a truck model (notch back?) that he threw a warmed up 302 in. Yes I would enjoy driving it.

I seem to like the odd body type vehicles (Fairmont, LTD IIs, Thunderbirds, Capris etc):pepper:

That is not a bad looking car. It looked like the 78 I almost had years ago.

On thing I have got to say positive about the Mustang II is they at least put the frigging gas cap location on the correct side!!

I was the second owner of Mark Brewer jr's black Cobra II , (the original owner traded it in at a car dealer in Maumee Ohio to purchase a new Corvette) it had the big red/orange stripes down the middle of the car , Martz chassis in Bedford Pa tubbed it and put the cage in it , and Marks dad at the time took it to Illinois to have the headers made and some additional bracing added in the rear section, its sad to say but I don't think I have been out to see him run the car since they bought it from me , Craig.

Markie is cobra II (with a space)... I was here first, lol. He has won a lot of rounds with that car, and done very well with, and is an excellent bracket racer.

Mine was white, V6, with the green graphics. When I was on 22 in Murrysville last Weds, there was a white one, with orange graphics, caddy corner to the McDonald's. I don't know if it sits there all week or not, but if someone is interested, take a ride out.

There is one for sale in Murrysville along Rt.22 across from Dunkin Donuts. It looks like the one in post #22 except the stripes are red. I think it has $6500 in the window.

Real proud of Markie... he won the Top class points (delay box class) this season, in the '78 Cobra II, running 11.30s-40s, against all the fast door cars and dragsters. Here's what the car looks like this season:

Here are some interesting Mustang II pictures. Tell me you all would not dig these cars. Also here is one on Craigslist with a 347 Stroker. https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/5496594772.html

I like the silver one. The Ghia/Notchback is hard to make look good. That is a nice clean car, but needs a better set of wheels to set it off.

If I had one , I would throw a set of 16" Ponys on her!
