 Hey
so I just bought a 70 cobra jet from a guy. Numbers matching and original
paint, he said shes 100% original. He gave me the marti report and everything
checks out. The one problem is she has the long tail lights that are from a gt
instead of the two separate tail lights. I looked at lot of pictures from
google images and not a single cobra jet had the long tail light, am i the only
one? ------------- E-4 Mafia I am the Infantry Follow Me |

i found a pic that looks like the separate lights with a filler between them, rectangular spaces rather than the honeycomb of the 1 piece lights ... ? it was on a special edition Type N/W, 1970 ------------- 72 GT Ute |

It's a 47 year old car, and things get changed... also, it's a Ford, so, never say never. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind." Randy 1979 T-Bird 2005 F-150 STX RCSB 4.6, 3.55 LSD How the Heck does a REGULAR CAB SHORTBED weigh over 5200 pounds? |

I have a bunch of photos of the car but im having trouble with the photobucket site. post your email and ill gladly send them to you. like i said shes solid but these tail lights are a mystery. i guess its likely that a previous owner put them on. theres no signs of a rear end collision so im guessing they just liked the gt tail lights better. ------------- E-4 Mafia I am the Infantry Follow Me |
