This was my first car...

 

 

I know Arin! It makes me sick to think how much more it would mean to me now than the 1983 Camaro I bought brand new to replace it. I kept having reoccurring dreams about that Cobra II until I got my white 08 Mustang. I had every intention of replicating the blue Shelby stripes on my new Mustang until I decided I really grew to like the black more.

 

i was reminiscing about when my car was still white lol. I still havent decided what to do about paint in the end. the white is refreshing.. i do know that i want to have a king cobra hood snake. im not a huge clone fan but man... its a giant freaking snake and you can;t get more 70's than that

i can't wait to get mine back

 

I would definitely do the hood snake! I would keep the rest of the car clean and not fuss with the dual pinstripes.

Oh and if you really wanna be different, create yourself a Martin Luther King Cobra!

 

I favour the 76 - 77 paint schemes of white with red stripes, or black with gold.

I find the King and the 78 Cobras a little too over the top, and too much like a T/A.

 

Car with Jack Roush behind the wheel, January 1977, photo taken same time the photoshoot for the sudden death article was done by Gray Baskerville



Car today during last test/tune drive. Currently under restoration with photo above the goal for completion

 

nice pics! I've been reading all your threads over at mustangii.net I think I've even got a book of II articles that talks about this car. Didn't know you were on these forums

thanks for sharin man

 

Hi Arin...you're right the book of II articles has the "sudden death" piece in it. Saw there weren't many II's posted here, so thought I'd contribute!

 

hopefully i can get pics of my 1975 coupe today its apart right now getting more power lol still not sure what motor im gonna build i got a 302 and a 351w i got till next week to find out then the motor goes to the builders im so excited lol it had a 302 before ran 13.1 at 104 in the 1/4 mile

 

the motor and body should be done by spring

 

Nice

 

thanks man

 

Going to start fixing my 75 on my next vaca

 

Still a work in progress. Currently it is at the body shop getting some details cleaned up, then to the upholstery shop for the front seats. It has a built 302 .30 over with a Holley 4 Barrell and duel exhaust.

 

That's awesome

 

Thanks!

 

Looks great!!

 

Finally got the II back. I had to have the back bumper redone and also some rust taken care of. I also had the blue stripes painted on the rear window louvers.

Today I replaced the dashpad and redyed the white seats.

 

oh so clean
