Meet Bobby Aldrich’s 1978 Mustang King Cobra
When one is hit with Mustang fever, just purchasing one doesn’t always cure the ailment. Sometimes only the purchase of one, two, or possibly more will calm down your symptoms. Rarely is it fully cured.
For those who have multiple Mustangs in their stables, many times those ponies are drawn from a certain generation. And if that is the case, often the ultimate goal is to obtain the pinnacle of a cohort of similar Mustangs. For a 1969-1970 Mustang enthusiast, having a Boss 429 in the garage would be the aim. A Fox body aficionado would set their sights on a 1993 Cobra. Even a fan of the much-maligned Mustang II has their highpoint: a 1978 King Cobra.
For true fans of the Mustang IIs, one isn’t enough. For Bobby Aldrich, even having six Mustang IIs parked at his Placerville, California, home wasn’t enough. Sure, he had a couple of Cobra IIs, and even a rare Stallion model, but he did not have the Mustang II that sat at the top of the food chain.
