'69 Ford Cobra SportRoof for Auction

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

This Cobra has the numbers matching 428 CJ engine and C6 automatic transmission, and is in very good condition inside and out. I put over 1,000 miles on the motor driving on the weekends when the weather is good, easily cruising at 70+ miles per hour on the highway. She runs and drives great, idling at about 650RPM with a mean growl and rolling smoothly through the gears when accelerating.
