GTX John,
Though the 1969 Torino Cobra cars are a good bargain, money would be better spent on
a 1970 Super Cobra-Jet 429.
Mr. X
I agree, the 69' Hardtop Coupe looked stronger,,,,,,,,,,'body-wise'
In 1969, both the Hardtop Coupe (#3541 lbs.) and Fastback SportsRoof (#3599 lbs.)
428 Cobra-Jet 335 HP (non Ram-Air 428's) cars were classed in F/S or SS/J.
(10.00 - 10. 49 wt/hp).
The 69' Fastback 'SportRoof' car was notorious for a 'whippy' tail-end.
