The Kemp Cobras
Monroe Handlers
King Cobra (different airdam and rear wheel spats with blacked trim, Cobra II scoop and spoiler)

With minor mods, Foxbody side skirts will fit.

Part of the fun with a II is modding other parts to fit. Its almost impossible to build a II from mail order parts anyway.

personally i love the way the king cobra looked, and I want to some day own one and turn it into a mean little street machine. sure its slow as shit stock. but its like a hot rod kit. they give you the car, you just have to build it. laugh all you want, but its not all that bad of a car. do i dream about it at night, no. is it worth respecting, yes. Ford needs another mustang II. not meaning you take away the new mustang and swap it for a mustang II like car. but you build a car similar to the mustang II. just like they did with the tauras. GM is getting their ass in gear, ford is still slipping as far as sales go, they need a new car that can capture americas heart, somthing like a modern-day mustang II, might not be so bad. just my thoughts.

King Cobra II

I still don't like the body style, de-performance, nor the fact that they were the successors of the classics. Not to say that you can't don anything with em, but I'd rather have a 641\2-73, or an SN-95-present.

Ya im kinda new to this fourm but i do know a little about the mustang II because i have one and i love it
but some of you guys talking them down must not know much about them because if you look at it this way you might relize that the mustang II (peppy pinto) practically kept the the mustang from getting discontinued. it was exactly what the needed during the gas problems and the emmsions control laws

They can also be made a hotrod very easy. Happy to have you here.

So you don't think your FOX body Mustang shared its platform with any other Ford vehicle?

Maier Racing is reproducing the Monroe Handler Body kit, and someone else is making the Lil Eleanor kit, and there are a few others makin misc spoilers for it. I myself would like to make a hood for it, i have one all steel, but have no clue how to make mold to build a fiberglass hood.

My 74 has a V-8, but 75-78 had almost no differences through the yrs, very very minimal.........also 74 did offer a 302 option but only in Mexico

True , but a lot of the early fox bodies didnt have s*** for power either, all they had was less weight lol

I loved my 78'. I had the coupe 308ci, 350hp, T5, 3:55's. I ran 295/50/15 in the rear with 195/60/15's in the front. I could lift the front tires of the ground. Took alot of big blocks with it, except for my buddies BOSS 429 650HP, which that........was kind of embarassing. I love the King Cobras, wanted one really bad.

I'm not doing any bigblock hunting with mine, but I do have a 78...that's a King Cobra...with 295/50R15's on the back....

but I'm running 225/50R15's on the front

There's a pic in this thread:
Another echoooooooo....

I'm just north of the border, Vancouver, BC, Canuckland, which is a bit of a II-hot spot. There's over a dozen II's running around the area and I know of several in your neck of the woods as well (Calgary and Carstairs)

[snakebite8]

king cobra, i had one but is was a ruff, i sold it few years back to help buy the 93 cobra that i had. it was blue with gold kit. i really someday want to get another one.

Killin the big blocks was one of the best things about it. Good HP, good gears and light weight, awesome combo. I have to say, your color combo is different but I could see how it would grow on you.

I've got a fair bit more to do before I take it hunting...the C4 has to go (RAD4 and modified aluminum driveshaft waiting), along with the open 2.79's (4.10 Trak/Lok waiting), the stock exhaust manifolds and restricted plumbing (modified Heddmans and glasspacks waiting), and I'm partway through scraping out the REDICULOUS amounts of sound deadener, chopping the rear interior panels to clear the rollbar, deleting the rear seat, and replacing the carpet.

The blue trim is a bit of an experiment. The tinted chrome is a bit much overall, so I'm repainting the window trim in a medium blue metal flake, and I'm pondering getting the Centerlines blasted and powdercoated in black...

Still gotta work out a set of subframe connectors and possibly traction bars, and I'm still trying to talk my buddy out of the rear air shocks currently in his Monroe Handler...

[1rnkpny]

I would get a set of rear leafs built to a)stiffen the suspension and b)give you a solid ride height. My experience with headers on those is to go with shorties. They fit better and you don't have to worry about bottoming them out. As for mufflers, may I suggest Dynomax Turbo tubes. They have such a clean, crisp, mean roar. Don't do glasspacks.
