• 69 Cobra drop top
  • Looks good ! Did Ford build Drop top Cobras? If they didn't they should have! Nice to see one that isn't Red or Black! *NM*
    • No converts that I'm aware - only fastback and notch coupe
      • Yeah, I was always confused by the Torino /Fairlane monikers.
        • Someone in the know can break it down
          • There's a lot of shared parts between the fastback and Cobra. The Cobra grille was reworked from the GT, and ended up in the Modified Stocker and later issues *NM*
        • By that year Fairlane was a lower trim option. Unsure if drivetrain options were restricted. *NM*
          • A Ford dealer was like Alice's Restaurant: You could get anything you want...
            • 'Cepting Alice... ;^) *NM*
    • Ford did '68 & '69 Torino convertibles. *NM*
      • Another boxart PIC INSIDE....
  • Hmm. I couldn't get the pics to load no matter what I tried. *NM*
    • x2 *NM*
  • Looks fantastic! *NM*
  • Real nice and seldom seen *NM*
  • After about a dozen tries, the pics finely showed up. Nice build. *NM*
  • I'm in need of a windshield for one of those Cobras. The glass is unique to the convertibles vs fastback. *NM*
    • Boxart Photo INSIDE......
      • I have one of those in my stash, got lucky and ran across somebody that wanted to trade. My favorite Torino body style, it will get built! *NM*
    • Re: Rich I used the glass from the fast back just sanded it till it fit *NM*
      • I'm hoping I don't need to rob from one perfectly good kit to complete this one. *NM*
        • Re:Rich you can ask if anyone has an extra one or E Bay has just the glass *NM*
          • I've already asked. Including on this board & other places. *NM*
  • Nice save of a rare model. Good color choice, nice stance. *NM*
