1978 FORD MUSTANG II KING COBRA SPECIAL EDITION. THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO BLACK KING COBRA'S USED IN THE 2011 "ZOOKEEPER" MOVIE STARING KEVIN JAMES, ROSARIO DAWSON AND LESLIE BIBB. THE MOVIE WAS DISTRIBUTED COLUMBIA PICTURES / METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER ON JULY 8, 2011 AND GROSSED 170 MILLION DOLLARS. THE ORIGINAL OWNER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM LIVED IN LEDGEWOOD NEW JERSEY AND THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED UP TO BOSTON FOR FILMING OF THE MOVIE. THE PRODUCTION COMPANY ADDED THE TIRE AND WHEEL PACKAGE, NEW REAR LEAF SPRINGS, SHACKLES, AIR SHOCKS, 5 LUG FRONT ROTORS, NEON LIGHT TUBES UNDER THE VEHICLE AND CHROME DUAL TUBE SIDE EXHAUST (NON FUNCTIONING). I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY LACY WHEELS WITH COOPER COBRA TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER CAR USED IN THE MOVIE, I BELIEVE WAS SOLD TO A PERSON IN CANADA. I PURCHASED THE IN MARCH 2013, WITH 105205 MILES ("A" BOX ORIGINAL MILEAGE TITLE) AND NOW HAVE 106203 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A REAL KING COBRA. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL BUCK TAG ON THE RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT. THE VEHICLE HAS THE 5.0 LITER V8, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, P/S, PFDB, FACTORY A/C CAR , FACTORY T TOP CAR WITH A FLOWMASTER EXHAUST. THE PRODUCTION COMPANY ORIGINALLY INSTALLED THE CRAGAR FIVE LUG WHEELS WITH SPACERS WHICH MADE THE TIRE AND WHEEL PACKAGE STICK OUT TO FAR AND EFFECTED THE DRIVEABLITY OF THE CAR. I INSTALLED A SET OF 5 LUG AXLES AND NOW THE CAR HANDLES AND DRIVES SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE.THIS CAR DRAWS MORE ATTENTION THAN THE 1973 MUSTANG MACH 1 OR MY DeTOMASO PANTERA THAT I OWNED FOR 15 YEARS. THE ITEMS THAT NEED ATTENTION INCLUDED THE DOOR AND T TOP WEATHERSTRIPPING, THE REAR LATCH WAS REPLACED AND I PURCHASED SOME OF THE T TOP WEATHERSTRIPPING ALREADY. THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND LINES WERE REMOVED FROM THE CAR, AND THE REAR BUMPER WILL REQUIRE SOME COSMETIC ATTENTION. THE CAR DRIVES AND RUNS REAL WELL AND DRAWS MORE ATTENTION THAN ANY CAR THAT I OWNED. EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW THE CAR AND WILL ASK ATTENTION AND DRAWS THUMS UP AND POSITIVE COMMENTS EVERY WHERE WE GO. I AM SELLING THE CAR AS I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE, JUST ORDERED A 2015 MUSTANG GT IN MADNETIC METALLAC WITH THE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, MY NAME IS RANDY @ (480)747-8868. ALSO I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MASSACHUSETTS "SSSSSSS" (NOT REAL) LICENSE PLATE FROM THE MOVIE AND PICTURES OF THE CARS ON THE MOVIE SET. YOU CAN VIEW MORE PICTURES OF THE CAR IF YOU GOOGLE THE ZOOKEEPER KING COBRA. THANKS YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
