Looking for pictures of a black/green "78" Mustang II/King Cobra

My son has a deck of Mustang cards that has a '77 or '78 Mustang King Cobra that is black with green pinstriping. I have tried to find pics on the internet of this color combo and have had no luck. The closest I found was black with orange. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks! B)

Scott-

I didn't know they produced a Green kit for the King Cobra. I think there was a 1979 Green Cobra kit.

Here is a link to Graphics Express. They list a Blue/Blue kit for the 1978 King Cobra. I don't think I've ever seen it either.

EDIT:

Here is a pic of a white/green 1978 Cobra II.

The card I was referring to was an official Ford licensed deck of cards that was made in '99 to celebrate the 35th anniversary. I just assumed it was legit, but then again, I think it said '77 and I always thought that the King Cobra was a '78 only option on the Mustang II's.

I'll have to scan that card in to show you guys. This could be interesting to find out. BTW, that white with green Cobra II looks pretty sweet!

After looking at the card closer, I'm guessing it was either a photoshop job or maybe a prototype color scheme. Of course, the card is calling out a '77 Cobra II and it has a picture of a '78 King Cobra Here is a crappy pic I took of the card (couldn't get my camera to focus for beans):

I think that its a prototype...the airdam looks like some early pictures of the KC I've seen that were described as prototypes. It isn't vertical in the front under the bumper. The orange KC with black and orange wheels that was published in several 1977 magazines has this airdam and is usually though to be a prototype.

Too bad...I always thought that the black with green KC or CBII would have been a Great looking car. In fact Ford used that color scheme on the 1979 (1980?) Cobra.
