Car of the Month - November 2003
Salvatore Mennella's 1976 Cobra II


I've had lots of IIs, but my baby right now is my 76 Cobra II. After about a 10 year hiatus of not having any IIs, I got bit by the bug again and started searching around for a nice white/blue car. I came across this one on a lunch break one day, and the owner did not want to sell it, but had a second car that I went and looked at. Long story short, after another couple of months, I contacted him again, and he decided to sell it. It's a white/blue 76 Cobra II, 302/4 speed car.

I am slowly restoring the car back to complete factory original condition, which has not been an easy task due to lack of correct information and hard to find parts. So far I have re-done the entire blue interior, which is about 98% finished. I have started to work on the engine bay recently as well. The body has been repainted by the previous owner, and I will redo that last. I have spent thousands of dollars obtaining NOS parts for the car, but it really makes a difference in originallity detail.

I took the car out for the first time this year, to the big annual Mustang Show here in NY recently, and won first place in the class. I hope everyone enjoys the pics of my little Cobra as much as I enjoy driving it.
