Every fan of Ford will know about the Ford Mustang models. Yet, not everyone knows much about the Ford Mustang II lineup or its special edition King Cobra. The Ford Mustang II is the second generation of the Mustang line, which was in production from 1973 through to 1978. Each year during this period, a new Ford Mustang II was in production. In 1978, the King Cobra edition was new to the lineup, and sadly, it was the final Mustang II model for this second generation.

With the 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra being fairly limited in production, it isn't every day that someone sees one driving down the highway. However, there are still some flying around the market from time to time and for not a bad price. he Ford Mustang II King Cobra is different from all the other Mustang II models, which is due to its sportiness rather than its luxury appeal.

For this model year, Ford went about emphasizing the sporty side of the Mustang II, which the previous models did not. The sportiness oozes itself through its unique exterior design, which includes stripes, a deep air-dam, and a Pontiac Trans Am style cobra snake decal on the hood.

Likewise, the 1978 Mustang II is the only one in the lineup with the name King Cobra. The King Cobra saw a limited run of only 4,313 (Marti Reports show about 4,800) units in production throughout 1978. Thereafter, the Mustang II second-generation lineup came to an end.
