1969 Ford Cobra Sportsroof R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air. If you have been searching for a genuine R-code Cobra Jet car, this is the real thing: a 1969 Ford Cobra Sportsroof powered by its numbers-matching 428 Cobra Jet V8 with functional Ram Air. Built at Ford's Kansas City plant and finished in Royal Maroon over a black bucket-seat interior, it pairs the most desirable engine Ford offered in an intermediate with the original 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.50 Traction-Lok rear axle.
The Cobra was Ford's answer to the Plymouth Road Runner: a stripped-down Torino Sportsroof, light on frills and heavy on engine, built for the quarter mile. The R-code 428 Cobra Jet, conservatively rated at 335 horsepower, was the top of the line and in a Cobra it came standard with a 4-speed and very little else to slow it down. Cars like this were bought to be run hard, and few survive with their original drivetrains intact. This one does.
The numbers-matching 428 has been rebuilt to its original specifications and has covered fewer than 500 miles since completion. The original 4-speed shifts the car, and the 3.50 locking differential puts the power down the way Ford intended. For safety and drivability, power steering and power brakes have been newly added a sensible concession that makes the car far more usable on today's roads without changing its character. The engine compartment presents correctly, with the Ram Air air cleaner assembly feeding the functional hood scoop, lettered "428 Cobra Jet."
The door data plate verifies the car in Ford's own codes: warranty number 9K46R129441, body 63E (Cobra Sportsroof), color B (Royal Maroon), trim DA (black vinyl buckets), scheduled build date of November 4, 1968, axle code S (3.50 Traction-Lok), and the 4-speed transmission code. The odometer shows 55,429 miles. Inside, the black interior presents beautifully bucket seats, console, the four-pod instrument cluster, and an AM radio while the exterior rides on styled steel wheels with Firestone Wide Oval raised-white-letter tires, exactly as a Cobra should sit.
Matching-numbers R-code Cobras with their original 4-speeds are genuinely scarce, and this one's fresh original engine, correct codes, and honest presentation make it the car a Cobra Jet hunter hopes to find. We welcome your personal or independent inspection, and we ship promptly and safely by enclosed carrier nationwide and worldwide.
