| RE: 1969 cobra question |

| Actually the '69 Fairlane Cobra was more an elimination of ornamentation than snake badge additions. If the Torino GT was equipped with the 428 then it was the same powertrain, suspension package as the Cobra. The GT was standard with extra deluxe features, most of which could be ordered for a Cobra, i.e, deluxe seats, console, etc. The Cobra was Ford's response to Mopar's Roadrunner/Super Bee package. Powertrain wise, a 'runner/'bee was the same as any 383 magnum midsize Mopar. The Cobra Package could be had for less money than a loaded GT Torino. BTW, someone asked a few days ago about staggered shocks with an automatic CJ powered Mustang. The staggered shock modification was for 4 speed CJ powered uni-body cars only, i.e., Mustang, Fairlane/Torino, Merc counterparts. |
