 This is a rare 1971 matching numbers Torino Cobra. VIN# 1A38C227363. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 and not been plated since 2003 where it has been in storage until now.

  850 Holley double pumper, roller rockers, brass guided valves, msd ignition , 3500 stall  converter, 9inch ford rear end with 4:11 gears.. I have the original factory gears(3:90 I believe), hi volume oil pump,  long tube headers/each pipe equal length to the collectors, ...flow masters, extra rear windshield with defrost wires, extra drive shaft , extra grill parts and corner body moldings, Detroit locker new in a box, new interior carpet,  new weather stripping and rubber moldings, windshield clips and other fasteners, two sets of cobra stickers for different paint  colors, shop manuals, original ford paint chip color chart, original sales brochures, original air foiled new antenna, wiring diagrams, etc...
  Currently has a blown head gasket. Should have used steel, my bad.
  Worst part of the car is top half of the firewall. The previous owner whom I have known for 28 years, had it parked on his driveway under a tree in Springfield Virginia. Leaves accumulated between the windshield and sat on the top part of the firewall which caused it to rot. The bottom vertical part of the firewall is solid.

  Other than that, the floors have never been done..rest of the car is solid. In restored shape, this car is worth good money! Or just fix the head gasket and roar with it for now!
  The 71` 429cj w/shaker/louvers is rare! 
 paid $2200us for  rear window louvers.. took three years to appear on eBay.
  The shaker hood scoop shown was modified to fit the offenhouser high-rise manifold..and the 850 Holley dbl pumper... I have a complete shaker assembly in a box purchased for $2300us on eBay.
  NOTE:The louvers and shaker, and other items, may be excluded  from the deal if need be to  accommodate  an offer.... otherwise they are considered included with the offer.
The paint and the interior is not original. 
  By  DSO sticker  it had vermillion (red) interior, and light pewter metallic on the body from factory....the interior is currently black, it has buckets,,,, you take it from there....
