  1. Turbo II

    I need a VIN translation

    The Ford 999 report will confirm if its a Cobra but in my case did not indicate the stripe color, the Marti report does though, and provides better detail then the 999.

    Mustang II Sold for $82000!!

    And worth every penny!:nice: Unfortunately I was interuppted by a phone call right at that moment and didn't hear much commentary. Was it powered by a 351C? Anybody know it's times (1/4 mile)? Certainly a nice piece of racing and Mustang II history.

    351w heads

    Sounds exactly like the combination I'll be running. Dropped my '74 block off with my engine builder a while back and told him "you're the expert, build me a reliable set-up with around 300HP" We will be using a set of '69 351W heads (ported and polished) with roller rockers and Comp Cams'...

    Francis still around?

    Mattie my friend! Long time no hear....uhh read :D As Jeff stated If I'm online it's usually at that "other" forum these days but I do lurk here from time to time. The turbo car "Project GT140" is going nowhere real fast. Haven't touched it much as I was distracted by a few other...

    What color do you need?
  6. Turbo II

    Never seen one of these before!!

    Wow only $45, If only we all knew how hard they are to find nowadays. I would have a bought a lot more spare parts back then. Of course back then (bought my first II in '85) I didn't expect to still have it 20+ years later!

    Never seen one of these before!!

    Yeah, those are an oddball. My '78 Cobra had what's left of the vented type and a regular '77 hatchback I saw in a wrecker had it too (I grabbed it and the spoiler). Seems like these were only on spoiler equipped cars and not on every one either. The vents themselves are only holes so it's easy...

    T-top question.

    Jason, Indeed Ford did have a bag and a set of straps to store and hold the T-tops down with. The bags sometimes show up on Ebay (I've seen maybe 3 in the last 2 or 3 years...so they aren't that common :( ) I will try to get you some pics of the straps and bag on my daughter's '78. Nothing...

    Jon & Jonathan, Thanks for the kind words. :) I certainly have dealt with some great people here and on "that other site" (Jason included!). Seems most II owners are good people, especially us older guys :D Right now I'm in dire need of 13" rubber with raised white letters, I need a set...

    Production Statistics ??

    Here's a pic of one I tracked down, supposedly in original paint..a very rare combo I think! QUOTE=78CobraII;6686060]Francis, hows the white / green CBII project coming? How about your GT 140? I used to check your website weekly to see the neat things you were doing with it... :)...

    Production Statistics ??

    Here's a couple of pics of some of my other projects. The tan one is my daiy driver '77 Ghia (I've since painted the top..one day it will get it's vinyl back) The blue one is a '77 Ghia that gave up it's power train to the tangerine coupe beside it. It was so badly rusted I couldn't justify...

    Sal, Thanks for the offer. I've seen the deluxe report a few times at car shows on some Mustangs and Torinos and was impressed with the info provided, a nice personalized piece of information. I will definietly be ordering up a few. I will have to pay down my credit card first since I'll...

    Production Statistics ??

    Yup, definitely a decal for the black along the doors and qtr window. Mine has the white tail panel. I have wondered about that photo, in one of my old magazines it stated the Cobra option could be ordered on a Mach car...they even noted how it would be called a "Mustang II Mach I Cobra II"...

    Production Statistics ??

    Sal, According to the Marti webpage I need to provide a title (which we don't use in Alberta) or a copy of the registration to get the report. I haven't called to order mine yet as I will probably get antique plates (registration) for it as soon as I can take some time off. My insurance...

    Production Statistics ??

    Yeah, it was the front spoiler that convinced me to buy it..only the second one I've seen locally that I could buy. Of course the valence itself is toast but I managed to pick up a spare a while back from a wrecker. The Phoenix site still lists the 78 stripe kits in all three colors...

    Production Statistics ??

    Thanks for the info. You asked for a pic.... A little rusty, but relatively complete. Got it running this week. Rear window louvres are getting a few cracks re-welded today. Next step is to repair the rust damage and then decide if I will put new vinyl on or paint the billboards (I'm a...

    Hey all, been a while.glad to be back!:D I piked up another II last week and I was curious about how it fits in on production stats... Perhaps those that have received their Marti Reports can help out? I picked up a '78 Cobra (white/green stripes). Obviously the purchaser wanted the...

    Jon, Congrats on the new Cobra!:nice: Boy it has been a long time since I've posted here! (been very caught up with work and IIs). Send me an email at [email protected] if you need anything for it, I'm picking up a '78 Cobra parts car this week and I'm sure I can hook you up with...
