    Default 78 King Cobra T-Roof Diamond in the rough

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/112343617096...MakeTrack=true









    Man if I had the room. A T-Roof King Cobra. $2500 is a good price for this. Yes, it needs to be restored.

    Original Motor, Marti Report, Owned since 1978, no wrecks. Father passed away was his car. Daughter selling.

    I love it, so tempting

    Ok...that is kinda cool. I think it's amazing how the ground effects on these cars make them look like bad little monsters. I would probably own one like this, but I just don't feel the standard looking Mustang II.

    WOWZA! very nice. I think we need a Mustang II FYI forum, LOL. They are too cool and there would have been no Fox Mustang without the little II. We shall never forget, HaHa.

    Yeah, I think I like the originality of the first one better. Plus the T-Tops!

    The t-tops are what seal the deal for me on the first one. I dunno why but they just look so right.

    I just like the idea it has almost the feel of a convertible but with the looks of a hardtop.

    No T-tops and it was the dark blue. In anything other than direct sun it always looked black. Lost all my pix of it. This was back in 1992

    Cool - I think these are good looking cars. If I only had the room I would be all over this. Take care

    If someone here ends up with this car, and wants to do a concours restoration... there are a handful of folks who frequent MCA shows who are into II's. They are well-experienced on restoring these cars, and the restorations can't be easy. They would be great sources of information.
