    chrome around the wheels...

    Jon, The chrome trim on the wheel wells (or rocker panels) was not an option on the Cobras. It was available on Mach 1's, cars with sports package, and all other regular models. The picture is interesting, in that there are two Cobras with this trim, side by side. But, two "wrongs" still...

    Gorgeous King Cobra on Ebay!

    I think the car may be a '78...but one that has undergone extensive rebuilding, including replacement of many if not most interior parts from earlier models. I have a gut feeling too, (which I cannot verify without seeing the car in person), that this car may have been involved in a fire at some...

    77 Cobra II goes for $11K

    Item shows no bids and auction ended early by seller. I suspect he had second thoughts about parting with it!

    Mustang generational ignorance continues in '05

    For those here that can withstand yet another insulting comment directed at a Mustang II ...I direct you to view posting #10 in the '05 forum, titled "05 in Vancouver". God forbid, a II might tarnish the image of yet another new Mustang model! Stangii........didn't you recently post a pic of...

    power source for electric choke?

    Hmmm...if I wasn't totally confused before, now perhaps I surely am! Wart: You seem to be very knowledgeable in this matter. I appreciate the time you have put into providing an in-depth explanation about this, for those here that do better understand automotive electrical theory and systems...

    power source for electric choke?

    Hoping someone here with better overall automotive electrical expertise and knowledge of II wiring, can give me a definitive answer here... to the best, easiest and safest place for getting (key) switched power to run an electric choke. I've searched the other forums on this subject, and it...

    Cabbage Patch Mustangs... at car shows

    SVTdriver: Actually, I've never been to a Cabbage Patch Doll convention, nor do I own one. My comparison comment between the '05's and the dolls was used to make a light hearted analogy, between the feverish type of "anticipation of ownership" I sense in other threads by potential owners of...

    Cabbage Patch Mustangs... at car shows

    There seems to be almost as much hype surrounding the '05's as there was back in '64-'65. Because of this, I would expect that more than a few buyers of Ford's latest offering will be buying this car soley on speculation, that its value will increase greatly in the future. It makes me wonder how...

    Check out the B'day girl! And her MII cake!

    Hmmm... The outfit, the shoes, the car, and the wonderful smile...for a minute I thought it was a pic from Sabrina's (Kate Jackson of Charlie's Angels) birthday party of 1976! :rolleyes: Enjoy your day Megan!

    Koni Rear Shocks

    Mustangs Unlimited still lists the front Koni's, at $185 a pair. That's what I'd call.... "Shock-ing!" KYB's selling for $29 ea.

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    CT wasn't a Mustang, it was the name of an early II parts distributor. The "CT" stands for "Conniving Thief."

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    I seem to remember the name of that company, in fact, I'm almost certain I have an old catalog of theirs around somewhere..I'll have to look. Pepsifreak.......I really like your present and past Ghias. Stangii...Websites like yours and Stangnet have no doubt been a huge contributing...

    Headliner question.. and an assembly line tidbit

    Tim, Thanks very much, for the pics and installation instructions you provided. Together, they make for an excellent reference and also ease most of my previous concerns about attempting to do this myself. I guess the worst that can happen is that I'd have to do it twice, and since the liners...

    800 orig mile King Cobra

    I pretty much agree, in spite of the fact it's still well above what might be considered top dollar, even for a #1 car. As I've always felt when I see such rare offerings...it's a fair price when one compares it to the average new or slightly used car selling for a similar price. It's a one...

    Who Had their II before the internet?

    :flag: :D I bought my '76 (new) in that bicentennial year, so there's little doubt it preceeded my internet use. But, now that you mention it, it was the same year that I purchased a (new at the time) PONG video game, which is now sitting in a box somewhere in the attic, along with a Texas...

    Headliner question.. and an assembly line tidbit

    Well! Since removal of the seatbelts for rewebbing has resulted in a near total disassembly of the interior, I am pondering the replacement of the original headliner at this time. Aside from the expected "have a pro" do it....I'm interested in hearing tips or comments from those of you that...

    Koni Rear Shocks

    Not sure which (red) Koni shocks you are referring to, but I have an (orange) set of Koni rear shocks on mine that I bought NOS on Ebay a while back, that work wonderfully. I don't recall mine being adjustable, (if they were, I didnt change the setting) but they are just right for me as far as...

    Rustproofing removal

    There are lots of petroleum based products that should help in the removal of this type of rustproofing. I'd suggest that you look at some of the adhesive removers found in auto parts stores. Gumout aerosol carb cleaner also comes to mind as something I have used in the past. The trick to using...

    Restorative painting and wheel centers

    No...the plastic ones on the left are used with the factory steel wheels, and clip into the wheel center. Your wheels are aluminum slotted, which require the (large) one piece metal (chrome plated assembly) seen in the pic on the right. These have four small screws that hold the assembly to the...
