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 58,800 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 bid today!
