Vehicle Description
Collectible Motor Car of Atlanta is pleased to offer this
hard-to-find 1969 Ford Torino Cobra. The last owner of this amazing
Cobra (now deceased) treated it to a repaint in its original Candy
Apple Red back in the 1990s, and this has lasted exceptionally
well. It shines beautifully, with no noticeable faults or defects.
The panels appear to be near perfect. And if you notice the Cobra's
underside, if anything, it is more impressive than the panels. This
Cobra Sportsroof is a rust-free and structurally sound car that has
lived in South Carolina for many years. There is barely a hint of
any surface corrosion, which means that it is an area that will
require no attention. The trim and chrome are faultless, as are the
original wheels. The original owner ordered this Ford with tinted
glass, and it seems to be free from scratches, chips, and other
defects. The hood scoop and badges are a clear indication that this
is anything but your average Torino and that the engine bay houses
something special- a numbers-matching, infamous 428c.i. Cobra Jet
Ram Air powerplant backed by the C-6 column-shift Cruise-O-Matic
automatic transmission.
It seems that this car is in very correct order. The late owner
treated it to upper and lower control arms, new spring seats and
front springs, as well as a new power steering control valve and
hoses. It is a numbers-matching classic, right down to components
like the carburetor. This Cobra runs and drives nicely, and has a
genuine 59k miles showing on its odometer.
Apart from the steering wheel, radio/cassette player, and the
gauges mounted under the dash, it appears that the interior of this
Cobra is original. The upholstery on the seats is spotless, as are
the dash and pad. There is no appreciable wear on the carpet, while
the remaining trim and upholstered surfaces are in excellent order.
The original owner didn't go overboard on the order sheet because
apart from the bucket seats, the only nod to comfort was an AM
radio. As stated, that has been replaced. However, the new owner
shouldn't have much trouble locating a factory unit if they want to
return the interior to its original specifications. The Cobra
includes a Marti report, along with various documentation and
original repair manuals, a framed letter from Ford Motor Company,
etc. The car includes a spare wheel/ tire along with the jack.
Classic Cobra cars of this pedigree are steadily on the rise, and
becoming increasingly harder to find in the marketplace, so don't
delay. Inquire today.
