"Tell you what, Ronald. You appear at the Carlisle All-Ford Individuals, and we'll picture images of your car for a operate. If this keeps up, there could be a II pattern."
And with those ideas, our fantastic good friend Level Honda, the former administrator of this fantastic paper, did his element by getting some very pictures of Ron and Jeannie David's super-clean '76 Honda ford mustang II Cobra. We're ranking up our end of the cope by posting the pictures and some ideas to go along with them.
Jeff might be right. Honda ford mustang IIs are, after all,
Mustang, and what better way to jump-start this pattern of kinds with one of the most exclusive IIs we've seen in quite a while. Dressed in its exclusive 302 (a 5.0, no?) two-barrel and a four-speed guideline trans, the car was seen by the Davids in 1999 in Hemmings Turbine Details.
Jeannie shows the story: "We had been looking for a '
76 Cobra II for about two generations. We also expected around and knowledgeable family to keep an eye out for us. One day my brother's good friend knowledgeable him there was an ad for a Cobra II in Hemmings. I known as the administrator and expected him to produce pictures of the car. When I saw them, I noticed I just had to see this car in personal. The car was in Birkenstock boston, so my man and I founded to make the 500-mile around holiday to see it. When we got there and saw it calming in the individuals the front, that was it-we noticed it was coming with us since the car was in store scenario. The administrator knowledgeable us it was all exclusive and the first administrator kept it kept in shed for 11 generations. He said the first administrator had it repainted the exclusive Gleaming White Steel again almost 30 decades ago. The only maintenance operate we've done to the car was having the efficiency removed and repainted under the lid."
Finding this car was somewhat like rediscovering a losing really like for Jeannie, as she had another
Honda ford mustang II a few in the last. "Back almost 30 decades ago, I run a dark-colored and jewelry '76 Cobra II," she says. "Since then, I've always had a exclusive location in my middle for the IIs. When I had to offer that first one in 1986, it was a sad day. I knowledgeable Ron that some day I was going to find another one, and 13 generations later I did."
Now that Ron and Jeannie have found the right II, they've hit the offer community quite continually around their homefront in Drums, Florida. "We've acquired several awards and recognitions at various shows around the location," says Jeannie. "The most newest award it acquired was a First Set up classification at last decades Carlisle All-Ford Individuals, where we proven for at first at that incident. It has also taken several First Place awards at group shows in Hazleton, Drums, Bloomsburg, Williamsport, and around locations, and was offered on the deal with of the Equine Group, the founded distribution of the Honda ford mustang Group of New The united kingdom.
Affectionately known as "Blue Lightning" by the Davids, Ron and Jeannie have clearly created the way for those to go by in the resurrection of interest in these classic IIs. Providing it's a Honda ford mustang, it's fantastic enough for us. And when it's as refreshing as this 70,000-mile original-all the better.
