Default Re: 69 Ford Torino Cobra

Hi Kris,
As I'm sure you saw I did post the Cobra coupe. Thanks for the compliment on the collection,. Those are just the one pertinent to this topic {yes I have more cars}.
FYI, I ran a 1969 Cobra Stocker in D/SA a few years ago {won class in Houston with it in 2003} but went back to my Mustang.
Thanks again,
Marty

You guys are the 'experts',,,,,

Proper name,,,,,,,,,,'Ford Cobra'

I wonder whatever happened to the 'Speed Age Magazine'
tested car.
All dealer installed options, except for the factory Drag-Pack.

Probably some Ford Detroit-dealer sales manager ended up with it.

What the,,,,

Motor Trend Magazine
January 1969

Evaluates the, 69' Ford Torino Cobra 428

Yet, they then list the car in the article as the Cobra,
with the 428 Cobra-Jet.

I don't believe a whole hell of a lot from any magazine..but car&driver and Road&track have got to be the worst excuses of magazines besides....motortrend.

Pro import, ALWAYS slower in dragracing than any other magazine test of any car.


In other words, they suck. I'm suprised they didn't call it a Cobra, torino jet, 390SS, GT!

For us non-Ford experts,,,,,,,,,

The 1969 Ford Fairlane/Torino (same car)

* Fairlane,,,,,,,,,,,(Low-level trim group)
* Fairlane 500,,,(Intermediate trim group)
* Torino,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(High-level trim group)
* Torino GT,,,,,,,,,(High-level trim group with GT Sports Package)
* Cobra,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(428 Cobra-Jet engine, standard engine)

Note: The 302-2V / 210 HP was the standard engine on all Fairlane/Torino models, except for the Cobra.

Note: The bucket seats and center-console were a required option ($54) for the Cobra
'Hardtop' model.

Ford Cobra experts,,,

1968 question

The 428/335 HP Cobra-Jet was available in the
1968 Fairlane, Fairlane 500, Torino and Torino GT

The 'R' Code Ram-Air was available in the Fairlane, Fairlane 500
and Torino, after April 1, 1968.

The Torino GT could only have the 428/335 HP 'Q' Code (non-Ram-Air)
version.
