1969 Ford Torino Cobra
Q-Code 428 Cobra Jet
Original #'s Matching
You are viewing a very rare original 1969 Ford Cobra Q code. The car is verified with a deluxe Marti Report. The Q code VIN on dash, door data plate and registration all match. This car still retains its original 428 CJ motor and Traction-Lok rear axel. This car was an original 4 speed car, but the 4 speed was swapped for an automatic C6. Clutch pedal still in the car. Has staggered rear shocks and oil cooler. As you can tell, this car would benefit greatly with a good detail.
Motor has been completely rebuilt, solid lifter cam and roller rockers, motor runs great but still needs final valve adjustment. The C6 has also been rebuilt. Flowmaster Exhaust, Power 4 wheel disc brakes and new lines . The suspension has been rebuilt. Brand new BF Goodrich T/A Radials on original Cobra wheels, trim rings and caps are as new.
The body on this car is very straight and 99% rust free. The floors, trunk, frame rails, door bottoms, quarters, lower fenders are all nice. The car was repainted 1969 Fire Mist about 12 years ago and still looks good, there are some small chips here and there, no dents. Glass is nice, front bumper is nice, the rear bumper is solid with some of the chrome peeling, the rest of the chrome is nice.
The Interior looks beautiful, new seat covers and carpet, the door panels and dash are original and look like new.
Check out the pics and the deluxe Marti Report. This is an extremely rare top of the line Ford Muscle. You don't find to many of these Big Block Original Cobra's anymore. For a negotiated price I can add a Buy It Now which I can include a Ford 4 speed Top Loader, Bell Housing and Flywheel, pedals are still in the car.
Please call Tim (845)728-0428 or (845)728-6575 to discuss the car. Out of country bidders must call first. Car is available to view before auctions end. Can store inside for a reasonable time while you arrange shipping. Car is sold with a Transferable NYS Registration (NYS does not title cars prior to 1974).

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
