Fully documented by Ford Canada and numbers matching 1969 Ford Cobra. Very well optioned with cloth and vinyl buckets seats, black vinyl roof, engine block heater, XPL C 6 automatic transmission, clock, visibility light group, argent steel styled wheels, console, power steering and brakes, AM radio, complete tinted windows, left and right hand racing mirrors, and last but not least, factory air conditioning. I have contacted the people at Marti reports and many Fairlane clubs trying to get an idea of how many Cobra's had air but with no success. The January 2012 edition of Hemming's Muscle Machines had an entire Buyers Guide article on the 69 Cobras and gave a very indepth account of everything from engines, brakes, transmissions, interior, chassis and body. Even this article did not even mention air conditioning as an available option, so there must have been very few examples produced. They also mentioned that the R code Ram Air option added 15% to the value. The Wimbledon White body has had one repaint years ago and does have a few minor chips and door dings. The vinyl top is in very nice condition. Dash board and interior are excellent. The console lid is loose from the body of the console but could easily be repaired. The brake light is on on the dash. The car brakes very well, and I was told that the proportioning valve may be stuck and that will cause the light to go on. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner about 12,000 miles ago. Torque boxes are great. I have many NOS parts for this car including eyebrow moldings and ring gear, plus used factory dash tach and AM/FM radio that will be offered for an additional cost to the buyer. I will personally handle all the brokerage details and costs involved to allow me to bring the car into Michigan will a perfectly clear title so it can be picked up and transported to any state |

There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
