    To much for this King??

    Or Generals, Goodrich, or Uniroyals. Unfortunatly, the info I have is vague in regard to whether all five tire makers supplied all the various tires sizes these cars used, or if only certain ones made certain types (like the RWL or WWSW). I know that I've never seen (in person or pics) a factory...

    To much for this King??

    Yes, they were available...but probably not likely to be factory installed on the King Cobra, unless specifically requested and allowed. I'm pretty sure, some if not all Ghias got them however... and were required on V8 models that didn't otherwise come standard with the RWL tires. It's got...

    Dumb ? - Tire pressure?

    I guess I didn't look closely enough at the original posters question, with my initial response, but I still stand by my claim. It seems he WAS inquiring what was the factory recomended pressure, per the door sticker. My response however, was based upon my preferences, and past experiences with...

    But, what about the air in them? :D

    Dumb ? - Tire pressure?

    Seems a little soft to me, unless traction is your biggest concern. I'd use between 30-35 all around.

    Source for replacement upolstery

    Same here. When you look at all the custom upholstery work done on street rods, it becomes evident that it's just a matter of finding a place that has lots of materials and expertise. I think it's an overall better option, than to rely on patterns and materials from questionable sources. Think...

    Fair price

    You haven't really provided enough info to even make a ballpark guesstimate. More specifically, year and body style would be most important to start.

    To much for this King??

    I hope I'll remember where my tag is when I'm 70.... For that matter, I hope I'll be able to remember where I park it as well! :D

    To much for this King??

    As an original owner myself, I can attest to removing my own tag years ago for safekeeping. I never liked looking at it hanging on the support, and thought it might be easily broken off and lost. As for the missing tag in itself... wouldn't having the original build sheet, window sticker...

    To much for this King??

    Sal, I'm not sure about the '78's being the same or not... but for '75 and '76, I think the twin tip mufflers only came on cars with dual exhaust. The V8 single exhaust cars had a single outlet.

    2005 Cobra II?? You bet!!

    1988 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback Engine: Stock 5.0 w/ some unknown headers. Transmission: T-5. Exhaust: Flowmasters. Hmmm.....thinking those stripes and spoiler might make your Fox actually look like a Mustang.

    2005 Cobra II?? You bet!!

    So, I must assume, that you just aren't happy with the performance of any stock '05? As for how it looks....your comparison opinion is subjective. But regardless, the answer to where I "get that" should be obvious by the fact that the things making this particular car look so great and stand...

    2005 Cobra II?? You bet!!

    I think it comes standard with a V6...and a 139hp 2bbl 302 is optional. :rlaugh: Seriously, would it really matter if there were no additional mods from a stock (05) engine under the hood?

    2005 Cobra II?? You bet!!

    Yep...that front air dam sure gives it that vintage/retro 70's look! The rear spoiler looks like a cut down version of the II's ducktail, which looks awesome as well. The II scoop adds a nice subtle touch too. Great job. I think the front air damn really balances out the proportions of the car...

    2005 Cobra II?? You bet!!

    Let's see the '05 crowd try and deny the similarities now! Sal, you'll probaby get bashed by a few of them...but, I seriously doubt you will care....will you? :D OK, now we need a pic of this next to the ThunderSnake... :nice:

    Mustang II GT H.O

    Some of us really don't want to know, either. I have enough issues learning and adjusting to a lifestyle which is now based upon computers, technology, and things that didn't even exist in the 60's and 70's, to have it spoil the remaining fun of owning what's now a vintage car.... by turning...

    Carlisle 2005 pics

    Sometimes it seems at the larger national car show events, that it's just the opposite. And trailering is certainly not something out of the ordinary, anywhere.Thankfully, there are still classes for both at events like these, so those that don't see the point of having a car only to trailer...
