Extremely Rare 1978 King Cobra Mustang!! First 5.0 Mustang!! Only one on eBay and one of less than 5,000 made that year!! King Cobra, which Ford advertised as the Boss of the Mustang stable. The King Cobra was a hatchback-only model with the 5.0L engine, standard four-speed manual transmission, power brakes, and power steering. The King Cobra did without the customary bodyside striping of the Cobra II, but sported a unique tape layout featuring a giant snake decal on the hood and pinstriping on the greenhouse, decklid, wheel lips, rocker panels, belt, over the roof area, and around the side windows. Up front was a tough-looking air dam. A "King Cobra" nameplate went on each door and the back spoiler, and a "5.0" badge appeared on the rear-facing hoodscoop. The King Cobra also had rear-quarter flares, a black grille and moldings, and color-keyed dual sport mirrors. Raised white-letter tires rode lacy spoke aluminum wheels with twin rings and a Cobra symbol on the hubs. 93,000 OG miles.Always garaged, decals all in good condition, t- tops, automatic transmission, factory air but may new compressor, never used air, all original interior in good condition except driver's seat is in need of a restitching in small 6 inch area,not torn. (see pic) Paint all in excellent condition for age.
