RE: 1969 Cobra

It's the truth! It wasn't my Cobra but it was the sales managers at the little Ford dealer I worked at in '69. The owner of the dealership made the sales manager buy the car - he was afraid it wouldn't sell!

When the sales manager decided to sell it in late October, '69, it sold in one day. I was back in college dirt poor, planning to be married in late Nov. and feeling fortunate to have a nice '66 GTA.

But that Cobra ran consistent high 13's in pure stock form. We did eliminate all of the thermactor stuff but that was never noticed by the limited tech inspection guys at Deer Park Drag Strip in north Spokane County.

One Saturday night the mighty Cobra ran a 13.7 @ 101 mph. We trophied in pure stock every time out but once, that was my fault, a red light.

Basic Cobra - formal roof, -R- code w/Drag Pack 3.91's and a C-6. Black on Black.
