1971 FORD TORINO COBRA (REAL COBRA 1H38MXXXXXX) 351C WITH A WIDE RATIO 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION. HURST SHIFTER, BUCKET SEATS AND NO CONSOLE. NEEDS A TOTAL RESTORATION. DID START AND RUN BUT BATTERY WENT DEAD. ALL I WANTED TO SEE WAS DOES IT START, AND DOES IT MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS. YES IT DID. LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND YOU WILL SEE THIS CAR HAS GREAT POTENTIAL BUT BEING A NORTHERN CAR IT DOES HAVE RUST JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. ORIGINAL GRABBER GREEN METALLIC CAR (ACCORDING TO THE NUMBERS) THAT SOMEONE DECIDED TO PAINT YELLOW. THEY ALSO WERE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR COLOR TO BLACK BY SWAPPING THE BROWN DASH PAD TO A REALLY NICE BLACK ONE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY FORGOT TO REMOVE THE DASH VIN PLATE. SO,,,THIS CAR HAS THE TITLE AND DOOR TAG BUT NO DASH PLATE. DONT KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET ONE OR IF IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE. COMES COMPLETE WITH MINNESOTA TITLE AND TAGS THAT WERE CURRENT THROUGH JAN OF THIS YEAR. ALL GLASS IS EXCELLENT AND ALL WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN PERFECTLY. THIS CAR IS ABOUT AS COMPLETE AS YOU WILL FIND A PROJECT CAR CAN BE. MISSING ONLY THE REAR WINDOW LOUVERS...GREAT PROJECT OR PARTS CAR! 14X7 STEEL WHEELS WITH THE ORIGINAL TRIM RINGS AND POVERTY CAPS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MEDIUM GINGER BUCKET SEAT INTERIOR IS PRETTY NICE. MAYBE CHANGE THE CARPETING. IN THE TRUNK IS ANOTHER STEERING COLUMN (BLACK) THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS GONNA SWAP OUT ONCE AGAIN TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR TO BLACK. CAR DOES HAVE THE SHAKER HOOD SCOOP AND HOOD. HAS THE HOLES FOR THE REAR LOUVERS BUT I NEVER GOT THEM FROM THE LAST OWNER. ALL COBRA EMBLEMS ARE ORIGINAL AND ON THE CAR. GRILLE IS EXCELLENT, AND BUMPERS ARE STARTING TO SHOW THEIR AGE. FROM WHAT I AM HEARING, THERE WERE ABOUT 3050 OR SO COBRA TORINOS IN 1971. I AM INTERESTED IN ENSURING THAT A TRUE FORD GUY ENDS UP WITH THIS DIAMOND IN THE RUFF. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU SEE AN ACTUAL NO KIDDING COBRA AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE? I AM NOT A SHIPPER SO THAT IS UP TO YOU. THERE ARE A TON OF THEM OUT THERE. GOOD LUCK AND IF IT DOESNT SELL IT GOES INTO MY INSIDE STORAGE FOR NEXT YEARS PROJECT... NADA GUIDE LOW RETAIL AVERAGE RETAIL HIGH RETAIL $22,050 $42,600 $71,700 ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS...

On Dec-23-12 at 21:37:35 PST, seller added the following information: PUT A NEW BATTERY IN HER TODAY, DRAINED THE OLD GAS, BLEW OUT THE LINES, PUT NEW GAS IN IT AND SHE FIRED RIGHT UP. OVER 60 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE, AND IDLED FINE. VERY STRONG ENGINE WITH NO SMOKING. A COUPLE OF HOLES IN THE 2 MUFFLERS MADE IT SOUND A BIT LOUDER BUT ALL IS GOOD. IT MOVED IN ALL GEARS BUT THE BRAKES WERE A BIT SQUISHY. OIL IS CLEAN AND ALL FLUID LEVELS ARE UP THERE. I THINK A TUNE UP WITH PLUGS AND WIRES WILL BE WHAT IT NEXT NEEDS... A STRONG RUNNER...
