This rare, documented R code Torino Cobra underwent a complete
rotisserie restoration less than 300 miles ago. Documented with
Marti report.
EXTERIOR: The body was soda blasted bare on a rotisserie. The body
is really straight. Look down these long sides and there's not a
ripple, it's smooth even along the bottoms. Repainted the original
Royal Maroon color and it is polished out with the glass
reflection, looks like a maroon mirror. Paint formula is included.
It has the Cobra Jet 428 emblems on the hood scoop and Cobra
emblems on each fendor. Overall the trim looks really nice. Upfront
the moldings, bumper, headlight bezels look new. The grill is good
original. Stainless around the windshield and roof was polished.
Door handles, 1/4 louvers look rechromed. In back the tail panel is
painted black, the trim is good original. The bumper is rechromed,
taillights are mint. The door jambs are painted very nicely, the
weather strips and sill plates were replaced. New 15 inch chrome
Cragar wheels with new Firehawk tires.
INTERIOR: I'm sitting in the car, it is restored very nicely. The
seats are reupholstered, cushions feel good. In the center of the
bucket seats the console is in real nice condition. It is missing
the shift indicator. Dash pad is in nice shape. There is a
tachometer neatly installed, and a gauge cluster below. The carpets
have been replaced and there is a set of Cobra embroidered mats.
It's original seatbelts front and back are present. Overhead has a
new headliner, visors and mirror. All the trim, the rear package
shelf looks very good.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a correct 428 Cobra Jet motor that's
been completely rebuilt, has receipt. Professionally tuned by
Heiges Performance. It does have upgraded Edelbrock aluminum heads
and factory Ford 427 aluminum intake and a 750 Holley carb. All new
MSD ignition system including the distributor, coil and wires. It
even has the adapter so the tachometer works. Dressed up with some
finned aluminum valve covers. The engine compartment features power
steering and power brakes. All the components look really proper
and fresh. It runs cool with a Champion polished aluminum radiator,
clutch fan and polished overflow bottle. The metal is real nice,
painted satin black. The hood scoop is cut open to allow fresh air
in. Other details include Autolite radiator hoses, reproduction
clamps, washer bottle is hooked up to the squirters, wiper motor,
the rubber seal is on the core support, the battery is secured.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Real clean, appears to be the original quarters.
I don't see any splices. It has the plaid mat, an original GT rim
with the Polyglass Goodyear tire for a spare. It has complete jack
assembly. Also included is a box of literature and manuals. Has a
car cover and new set of window seals. The bottom of the trunk lid
and the jamb are painted glossy. Decals and weatherstrip are
new.
UNDERSIDE: It was literally put on a rotisserie so the bottom could
be thoroughly restored and detailed. The chassis and all the
components were completely removed from the bottom of the car. The
front end was completely rebuilt and detailed. Has all new ball
joints, bushings, shocks, springs etc. The power steering unit was
replaced. Sway bars front and back. It has new shocks. New leaf
spring bushings. The brake system was completely restored. It does
have disc in front, the emergency cables are hooked up. The lines,
hoses were replaced. Bottom of the motor is immaculate, starter
looks new. Rebuilt original C-6 transmission specific to a 428. The
tag is still on the side. In back the original traction lock 3.50
was upgraded with 3.89 gears. Factory style dual exhaust system has
chrome tips. Fuel tank and sending unit were replaced. The whole
bottom of the car was blasted to bare metal. It has super clean,
dry metal that was neatly painted a satin finish black paint.
This Cobra fastback is a very desirable car. The R code 428 CJ is
the hot ticket. Fresh restoration, ready to enjoy!
