1969 Ford Fairlane 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.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction
Wed, 07 Aug 2013For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
