Default My Mom's 1978 Ford Mustang Cobra II
In serious need of work (original paint) and hardly a classic, but it still has some get up and go (302 cubic inch V8 in it). images/smilies/smile.gif

And yeah, the color's a bit weird, but it's better IMO than this combo:

I like how your parents have such cool/interesting cars.

Is 302 too small or too big? It's just a standard 5L V8.

She drove it up until a couple years ago when she got her new Civic. The Cobra was just too old (lack of decent heat, a little leaky, etc.). The Cobra's in the garage now. images/smilies/wink.gif

Er, haha, sorry, I meant cubic inches. What's the common abbreviation for that? Hmm...

302ci=5.0L. This body style of Mustang is considered the most undesirable and that is really due to the fact that it was designed during the height of the gas shortages, increased insurance rates, and new pollution regulations. It can be made to look good though.

The green Cobra stripes are totally groovy! I have a feeling these cars are going to start getting popular soon. It might be worth hanging onto that one.

Meh, the manufacturers round them off. Both Chevy and Ford had engines that they called 5.0s but one was 305ci and the other was 302ci.

Interesting that you guys say "ci", I normally write "cid." as in 302cid. (Cubic Inches of Displacement)

Nope, one cubic centimeter = one milliliter. Remember that you're going from one dimension (centimeter) to three dimensions (cubic centimeter)

What's the point in using cubic inches anyway? It's so much more confusing than just saying litres.
