RE:'69 Fairlane Cobra
By McQ - 01/30/2004 2:53:45 PM; IP 209.19.180.126
It was Grant Marr's '69 Fairlane Cobra. I think that's the one I mentioned awhile back. Grant was a working man who drove his Cobra -R- code non drag pack car to work during the week and drag raced the beejeebers out of it on the weekends. It was a four speed with some 4.something rear gears he'd installed. It had headers and recap 14" cheater slicks. It was a Sportsroof C-apple red/black interior. He ran consistently in the high 12's with this daily driver. He was an excellent 4 speed driver too. He knew how to launch that car and power shifted the stock Ford linkage very well.

I agree with you again blinker that the 428, c. inch for inch was a most powerful performance package. I guarantee you that a 428 CJ stock against a stock GTX/RT 440-4V was no contest. The '69 6-pack 440 was a better competitor to the CJ. But not the '70 6-pack Mopar. A CJ would eat those up.
This thread, so far...
