1969 Ford Torino Cobra 7.0l on 2040-cars
Bell Buckle, Tennessee, United States
|
This is your chance to own a very rare 69 Torino Cobra Jet fastback that is 1 of only 141 ever produced with this trim/color package. The Cobra is complete and original from bumper to bumper and still has it’s numbers matching 428CJ Ram Air engine and cruis-o-matic C6 transmission. The Cobra began its life in Kansas City where it was shipped to the famous Vel’s Parnelli Jones Ford in Torrence California. It was optioned with the 428CJ, C6 transmission, power steering, power brakes, am radio, rear seat speakers, tinted glass and even smog control to meet California regulations. There were 456 Raven Black Cobras produced in 69. But, the rarest option for this car was the visibility group trim options, that included the chrome side molding and GT wheels that are still on the car today. There were only 141 Cobras produced with these options. Along with the visibility package, the Cobra was produced with Black vinyl/black broadcloth interior bench seats that are still present in the car. It also has the woodgrain dash option. This rare Cobra was ordered with all the bells and whistles. The Cobra stayed in California for much of its life where I believed the original owners traveled a lot of California as the original maps and post cards from the 70s are still with the car and included with the sale. At some point, it made its way to Tennessee which is where it is today. I have the title, build sheet, owners manual and complete Marti report to verify the options on the Cobra. The 428 Ram Air engine is complete and will start and run without smoking. All the accessories (power steering, air compressor, smog pump etc..) are still present as well as the original Ram Air cleaner. The original autolite 715 CFM carburetor is still on the Cobra. It appears the engine has been maintenanced throughout its life, but never tampered with. The intake tag is still present and the Cobra still has the yellow top ignition coil. The C6 cruise-o-matic transmission is the correct transmission with the steel rear transmission housing. The car was equipped with a 3.00 nine inch rear. As for the body of the Cobra, it is an extremely solid start to a restoration. There is rust at the bottom of each quarter panel, but it has not rusted to the trunk drop offs. All the rockers, doors and fenders are completely rust free. The roof is in excellent condition with no rust around the factory glass. There is a dent in the right front fender, but would be easily worked out. The original Ram Air hood and scoop is present and rust free. The right hinge area of the hood has some bending from opening and closing and will need some attention, but is not rusted. The floor pans are in excellent condition and will not need any patching. The is a small spot, about the size of a half dollar, directly below the gas pedal on the toe board area that has rust, but that is it inside the car. The deck lid will need to be replaced as the lip is rusted through. The worst rust area on the car is the driver’s side cowl area and will need attention. The front and rear seats are in the car and has the original black vinyl/black broadcloth material. The dash pad is in perfect condition without cracks. The headliner will need replaced but the bows are there. The car does not have door panels, package tray or sail panel moldings. The glass is all there and not cracked or faded, fogged. All the trim is on the Cobra with all the Cobra badging and in decent shape, including the front and rear bumpers. This is an excellent example of an extremely rare car that is an excellent candidate for a great restoration and a chance to own one of the rarest Torino Cobra Jets still around today. Feel free to contact me with additional questions as I will answer everything to the best of my ability. I do have the car posted locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. A deposit of $1000 will be required within 24 hours of the auction ending and the remainder due in 7 days. Do not miss this great opportunity to own a truly rare classic. |

Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees
Sat, 21 Jun 2014The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
