Raise your hand if you've ever seen one of these? I don't see any hands... It's a 1976 Mustang II with the Monroe Handler body kit. The car is being restored by Ricky Shuler. The Handler body kit consists of 8 pieces of fiberglass. It came out in mid 1977 and fit any of the fastback Mustang IIs (74-78). The body it was used to promote the Monroe Handler series street performance shock absorbers.

White 1976 Mustang Cobra II hatchback, left side view. There is a V8 emblem on the front fender, just ahead of the wheel opening. After posting a couple of these to the site, I'm starting to notice them on the road. I saw a similar one with orange stripes yesterday parked in front of a paint and body shop one town over.

Check out the cobra shift knob. I wonder if the eyes light up at night? This one has an 8-track tape player. They called them 8-tracks because there were 4 stereo track sets on a continuous loop of tape. The tape deck could sense when it reached the splice in the tape and would switch to the next pair of tracks. You could also manually switch to another track pair. It was real annoying when the tracks would switch mid song.
