1969 TORINO COBRA RAM AIR 428CJ SPORTSROOF (FASTBACK)
They actuuly just sold these cars as Cobras, but most know them as torino cobras.
This is a factory R code (ram air) with factory bucket seats factory C6 Transmission. This is a very solid car. I would call it a survivor , as it has not been restored completely. This is a great opportunity to own a Factory Big Block Muscle Car at a low price. This is not rusted and is very cool driven as is. The patina is something that is very desirable these days like you see on Fast N Loud. I have been driving it like this for months and I get looks and thumbs up everywhere I go. It certainly is deserving of new paint if you so desire. The quarters, doors and fenders all are rust free with no sign of bubbling or signs of pior rust repair. There are signs of normal dings and scrapes of a 44 year old car. Compared to most this would be an easy and straight forward repaint. There is a tiny bit of rust on the original truck lid and that is it. The other areas these cars seem to suffer are all in EXCELLENT condition. The floors, frame rails, torque boxes and fender aprons, rockers are all in great condition. The interior is in EXCELLENT condition as well. The Factory bucket seats are new, the dash pad excellent, carpet, excellent. ALL lights work even directional lights in hood scoop, original factory AM radio works with heater, blower, all gauges, original horns work steering wheel and horn rim glove box dash lights all work. It has the proper interior door panels great shape remote mirror that works back seat perfect package tray has the factory speaker grills. The only thing the interior does not have is the headliner. (I have it but I never installed it because I think it looks cool without it. (again "Fast N Loud" ish The dome light is there and works.
This is an "R" code 428 Cobra Jet car as per the VIN and Marti Report As such it came from factory Equipped with Ram Air The snorkel, Flapper, seal are all there and in excellent condition. The 428 CJ runs excellent and has been rebuilt. It has a lot of torque! The valve covers were pulled for inspection the valve springs appear to be new, it has a larger cam in it and has a nice lope to the idle. The heads are the correct CJ C8OE-N and the intake manifold is proper C8OE as well. The car currently has older aftermarket headers and exhaust. (I would put on the factory manifolds on myself) you can find them. The COBRA JET specific C6 Transmission is still equipped with the "R" Servo and Cast Iron Tailshaft Housing. It goes into gear fast and shifts properly. The brakes work well and stops straight. the factory power steering works properly and still has its COBRA JET specific Oil cooler.
This is an honest solid car with a BIG BLOCK CJ 428. It runs excellent and drives well. this car is worthy of any time and investment you choose to make and will reward you with some serious value when you are done. Look at the NADA value!
I bought this car several months ago I drove it and drive it often. It is very cool. I worked on the interior and the ram air and had a blast with it. I should hold on to it, tinker with it maybe paint it and be happy. But that is not what I do! I will let someone else do what they want and I will move on to something else. It really is cool! This car has spent it life on the West coast it was sold to a dealer in OR I bought it and had it shipped from Washington State.
In the pictures you will see the right front fender had some body work in the front and the trim is missing. I got the proper fender with the trim piece and directional light. I did not put it on the car It will go with the car to the new owner. Very reasonable price for what this car is. Buy it have fun with it and watch the value go up. Ask me any questions. It will sell to the highest bidder after my starting bid.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
