Mustang Cobra

Postby macgulley » March 27th, 2009, 5:10 am

I ran across these pictures on another forum and thought Macuser might be interested even if no one else is. :D

[Raises hand] I'm interested!!! Love it!

I had a '77 Mustang Cobra II -- black with gold stripes -- with a 302 Boss. Man that thing would run like a scalded dog. That's what I drove when I dated my wife. Wish I had it now and it was like it was when I bought it.

I'll bet tune-ups were fun! My uncle had a Maverick Grabber with a 302 and he had to cut a hole in the wheel well to reach one of the spark plugs.

Wow... hahaha... Thanks for the photos!

Although I love a good project like any other gearhead.. The car shown here is honestly absolutely hideous! *Snickering*

It's a hybrid that should never have happened... but I guess as long as he's happy with it... wait it's For Sale? I guess he's not.

Thanks for the pic!!

Agreed. I like the rear end, but that front end mixed in? not.

That's one weird looking car. The one in the photos above. What year is it?

My first car was a 1967 Mustang, and I had it for fifteen years. I rebuilt the engine myself and took it from a 289 to a 302. I'm not sure what the fastest I ever went in it was, because the speedometer topped out at 120 mph. I do know, though, that I nearly got myself killed several times because it was so easy to pass cars around corners on mountain roads. I sold that Mustang for a master's degree. Not entirely sure it was a good trade.

Do you know what some 1967 Mustangs are worth today? Tim, this is something we can entirely agree on. haha

I have to say, I don't like the mix.
I would get a Shelby Mustang or a Shelby Cobra not this mix-up stuff.

Shelby Cobra is the real thing.
