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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Grimsel electric car breaks acceleration world record, electric Ford Raptor ATV debuts
Sun, Nov 16 2014An all-electric version of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is now available... as an ATV. Made by Caddyshack Golf Cars, it features officially licensed Ford badging borrowed from the super-macho pickup. It has a lifted chassis with leaf springs in the front and rear, hydraulic shocks and off-road tires. Powered by a 48-volt motor, it can do 0-25 mph in 2.9 seconds. Range is an estimated 30 miles - plenty to get you through 18 of the most rugged holes of golf you've ever played. Caddyshack also offers other miniature electric Fords, including a Shelby GT500, Shelby Cobra and 50th Anniversary Mustang. Read more at Green Car Reports. Lexus takes a crack at the BMW i3 in a new video from Funny or Die. In the decidedly anti-EV film, a group of guys drives to Las Vegas for a "dad-chelor party" in a Lexus CT 200h and a BMW i3. The Lexus hybrid makes it to Sin City without any problems, while the BMW's occupants need to make several lengthy stops to charge along the way, missing much of the fun. The video lampoons the inherent range limitations of the EV (the BMW group ends up driving slowly through the desert with no AC or radio to save energy), all in a well produced, if somewhat misguided, short comedy film. Perhaps they should have considered the i3 with a range extender? See the video below, or read more at Green Car Reports. Students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University have set a new EV acceleration world record. Their "Grimsel" racing car was able to zoom from 0-100 kph (0-62.137 mph) in just 1.785 seconds in less than 30 meters (98.425 feet), crushing the previous record of 2.134 seconds. Even more impressive is that the Grimsel was built by the students themselves, as part of the Formula Student team at the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich. The car weighs just 370 pounds and provides 200 horsepower and 1,202 pound feet of torque from the four hub motors. The Grimsel uses traction control to manage torque for maximum acceleration. See the record acceleration run in the videos below or read more at Gizmag, at Electric Autosport or in the press release from ETH Zurich below. 'grimsel' breaks world record The 'grimsel' electric racing car today broke the previous world record for acceleration in electric cars. The vehicle accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.785 seconds in under 30 metres. The new record was set by students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who also designed and built the vehicle.
Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
