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.
