Hello everyone! I'm new to Mustangs and I'm looking for a 1978 King Cobra automatic. Are there any knowlegable folks out there that are versed in this era of Mustangs that I could talk too?

Thanks to all!
Todd

 

welcome to the forum

are you looking for the whole car or just the transmission?

 

Welcome,

Start at The Top of This Forum Link Below and Lots of Vids To Watch in The Curated Section! After That Check Out The Sticky Threads!

One of Our Mods is Into The Mustang II I Will Do a Mention For You! I'm Sure He Would Be Glad To Chat About One! As Far as General Ford Info Lots of Folks Have Knowledge on the Older cars. I Was a Ford Dealer Parts Man / Manager For 30+Years & I Could Likely Help Some as Well! Many Frown on the II'S But We Have Some Here Who Do Appreciate Them. The Mod I Mentioned & Myself Do For Sure!

To Be Clear If I Understand Your Post You Want an Automatic Equipped King Cobra Correct?? Not Just a Transmission For One??

The More Info You Provide The Better We Can Answer Your Request!

Gents,
My apologies for any confusion I created. I am looking for an automatic car for my friend. His Mom had one in the 70's and now he is in a postion to get her one that's close to the one she had years ago. I'm not sure exactly where these cars are traded and I know you guys probaly know all the spots to find em'--i.e acution sites, specality collectors, and folks that kind of specialize in these rigs.

I'd like to find a 78' KC that's red with T tops and a autiomatic. If I had all my wishes come true, it would be in clean, running shape that needs just a "little" work to make it ready for her to dirve and enjoy. I've seen a few that just got auctioned, so I'm hopeful that there are a few cars out there to look at.

Please let me know if I've answered your questions, if not, let me know and I will answer more.

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Just Throwing Out A few Spitballs. Let Me Stew on It a Bit. Are You Stuck on a Automatic?? How Old is Mom?? Also How Often & How Far Will She Be Driving Around??? Just Local Cruising or Some Road Trips???

Just For The Sake of Conversation Give This Thread a Read and See if You Can See Some Similarities to Your Situation and What Factors May Come into Play After A Lot of Years Pass and You Forget The Manners Of The Old Cars. Anyhoo Just Wanted You to Consider.
