I wonder if Ford would have put a wing on this car like Chrysler did or if they would have just installed a taller rear spoiler?  I doubt that it would have much rear down force in it's current configuration.

The whole King Cobra program went down the drain when the mocked up prototypes exhibited instability at test speeds intended, the current Cyclones and Talladega's where already race proven and stable at NASCAR track speeds, Ford was looking for and "edge" over the competition in the aero arena.....it was cheaper to cry on Bill Frances shoulder to rid the field of Mopar wingy things than to build a solid contender, the King Cobra's are cool cars though, would have been nice to see a limited run of them,...I'm more partial to the "controversial" Mercury version though....be a cool car to clone someday when I have nothing left to do!

The car looks like it is missing something and while I thought the idea behind this car was cool I think the finished product looked a little goofy compared to the wing cars.

The race version as tested was bad loose.  Under the rules back then, 3" max. rear spoiler, it didn't handle.
Internally, Ford was under a "no wing" rule!

I've got to admit that I kind of like it.  If I had money pouring out the wazoo I'd totally buy that!  BUT I don't

Imagine the bystander comments during that auction . .       


"Whoa, some dumbass put a Datsun front end on that Torino!"  
 
"Didn't Mad Max drive one of those?"
