Background Story of this 1978 Ford Mustang

Overview of 1978 Ford Mustang For Sale by Owner

Widely considered to be the forgotten child, Ford’s second generation Mustang, or the Mustang II as popularly called didn’t quite achieve the stellar sales success and reverence of its predecessor. Chalk it down to the Malaise Era, as well as a time when fuel economy was becoming more and more critical. Hence, the Mustang II was much smaller than the first generation, could be had with a four-cylinder engine, and saw 1.1 million units shifted between 1974 and 1978. However, Ford did offer a V8 beast, and that’s what this 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra packs. With 27,485 miles to its name, this Lexington-based pony is up for grabs with a 4-speed manual gearbox and the King Cobra package too.

Exterior and Interior

This 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra wears a bright red coat of paint that almost disguises its smaller stature in comparison to the first generation of Mustang. The Mustang II sits on a modified Pinto platform and was nearly 19 inches shorter than the first generation Mustang after all. But this car looks suitably mean with its 13-inch steel wheels, King Cobra package, and raised white-letter radial tires. It’s also got that sleek fastback silhouette, louvered rear side windows and integrated rear deck lid spoiler for a speedy stance. The black vinyl interior features high-back bucket seats for the driver and co-driver, plus a heavily bolstered two-person rear bench. The car also packs an aftermarket steering wheel, air conditioning and a nice aluminum-effect gauge surround that gives it a sort of rally vibe. You’ll also find pony motifs, as well as a large cargo space that’s accessed from a wide opening rear liftback.

Engine

This 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra comes with the 302ci Windsor V8 under its hood. Breathing through a 2-barrel carburetor, the engine reportedly makes around 140 horsepower but remember, this was Malaise Era time, and nowadays, you can find avenues to healthily boost that power output. The car comes with a 4-speed manual transmission and is, of course, rear-wheel drive courtesy of a Ford 8-inch rear end. So, you can keep it stock, or give it some tasteful upgrades if you wish.
