THIS IS THE REAL DEAL! ATRUE COBRA WITH A 428CJ AND RAM AIR!
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.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
Ford C-Max Commercial Brings Cadillac 'Poolside' Ad Down To Earth
Thu, Mar 27 2014If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests
Thu, Apr 22 2021New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.
