   Hi,      My name is Ed and I live in Cooperstown NY. I just joined because I bought a 69 R code Cobra today. Didn't get it yet but it is black jade, numbers matching with factory AC. I look forward to discussing things with all of you! I notice the 69 shop manuals don't say Torino on the cover. Is there a different shop manual for Cobras? Thanks

	No. It's covered under Fairlane sections in the shop manuals. Let's see that Cobra! I have Black Jade '69 as well. 351W Formal roof GT.

	Nice car! I will take pics and post when I get it. I need to buy the shop manuals (looks like there are five) and the owners manual.

	Welcome Ed! I apologize for the delay. I moved your post to it's own thread. You have been upgraded to a new member now and have full forum privileges. You will be able to post pics. We'd love to see your '69 R-code and hear more details about it.

	Thank you! I am thrilled to be here! Just ordered set of 5 shop manuals and some other literature on Ebay. I should have the car by next week I will post pics after I get it. If I need parts, where is the best place to go? I assume there might be a few. Thanks again, Ed
	Thanks,Ed
