The last Mustang II year saw the King Cobra, a limited edition of 4,313 cars with a deep air dam, stripes and a large snake decal on the hood, available only with the V8. Sales material kept emphasizing sportiness over luxury, and a Fashion Accessory Package offered striped cloth seats and extra interior lighting. Consumer Guide judged the Cobra II powerful for its class but poor in handling and ride, and the third generation Mustang followed for 1979. The 1978 model year was the last of the Mustang II.
