1969 Ford Torino 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.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
