theres the pictures i took.
the interior is in perfect condition except it needs a radio and new upholestry.

apparently it needs a new braking system and a new steering column if i remember coorectly,other then that its all body work.
if you have any facts or ideas for what i should do to fix it up...

Hi,

I don't believe what you found is a King Cobra, from what I can tell from your
pictures there is not any of the King Cobra options on the car. Yes the car could have been changed over the years but here is the first and most simple check.

Look on the top of the dash on the drivers side,the Identification # tag is there and the first number in that ID# should be a 8.

King Cobra's were only built in 1978 and that first number should not be a
4,5,6 or 7.

I would be happy to answer any other ?'s you have, just send me a PM and let me know.

Have a great day !!!
