1971 Torino Cobra in the rare Silver(Light Pewter) with Vermillion(Red) interior. There were only 21 Cobras made with this color combo and it is stunning! This car is very well optioned with a 351C 4V engine, C6 automatic transmission, Shaker ram air, p/s, pdb, bucket seats, console, factory tachometer(works great) and 15" magnum wheels, all original! This car is very close to being absolutely stock, the only thing I know that is incorrect is the carburetor and distributor. The car still has the original Shaker hold down bracket, the original heat shield is still on the exhaust manifold. The car has had one repaint and the color is slightly off from the door jamb, the jamb is still has the original paint, the door sticker still looks new also. The body has only very minor rust, the floors look very solid as does the trunk. The lower qtr panels have some very minor pinholes showing and some of the door corners(see pics), all very minor. I have been driving this car daily and I love it, this car has not been screwed with and drives very tight and quiet. The engine and trans are very clean and look to have been worked on not many miles ago. The engine does have some typical Cleveland valve train noise but it is not really loud and hard to notice when driving the car. I have put several hundred miles on the car and it has not used any oil. The transmission has obviously received some work as it shifts nice and firm, anything over about 1/2 throttle and you are going to chirp the tire into second! The doors on this car open and shut very well, also there is no cracking around the door latches like you typically see on the these cars. The interior is quite presentable for an original but does have a crack in the dash pad like normal, the headliner will need to be replaced also. The front seats will need a few panels repaired but since the original comfort weave material is nice that is all I would do. The seams came apart on three of the lowers and there is a tear next to your left lower back. The rear seat is quite nice. The paint, while presentable for a driver is not perfect, it is a 10 footer with some bumps and scratches from normal use. I like it like this as it is a guilt free driver. If you have any questions and are a serious buyer give me a call at 425-308-0802 and we can discuss the car in detail.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
