Hey guys just came across this, we certainly are still in business and have cobra material coming, just taking a little longer than hoped but it is going to happen.
Just like the XD/XE ESP and XC HOUNDSTOOTH materials we have reproduced, our Cobra trim will be hard to pick from original.

hi all

in the late 80's i owned a 351 auto cobra bought it from a butcher in Burwood ,..he was the original owner ,he bought it new at dominelli ford hurstville & had just redone the trim as it was his daily drive ,....i cant remember the actual number,..its possibly 152 or 182 ??,..it did have a dealer fitted Golde sunroof ,...i sold it a guy from the hornsby/Berowra area ,..i will never forget the look on his face when he turned up to buy it ,.......he was captivated by the coupe ,.....Im wondering if he still owns it ??,..does anyone on here know if that car is a survivor ?...not too many around with sunroofs
cheers
Nick

I have recent pics of 182 it is in Qld undergoing restoration it does not have a sunroof. 152 was in Nth Coast NSW last I heard of it and was advertised for sale for 25k so must have been around 8 years ago before prices skyrocketed :-)

Cobra 006 has been re-bodied with a 1977 shell, has standard rear wheel arches, auto trans, incorrect interior plus lots of other things that are wrong for a Bathurst spec Cobra. The car was sold shortly after the owner at the time found out it was not a genuine Bathurst Cobra.

So Does that still count as Cobra no 006.
Or is it just the badge that survives?

It would appear so.

ZcAmbo · 17-06-2011, 04:39 PM

Does anyone know when cobra 006 was rebodied, was it done as the original was wrecked or beyond repair and has it appeared at the all ford day before in geelong.

brut33 · 19-06-2011, 09:47 PM

Here's the Ad that appeared in 1989, I also have extensive photo's of this car showing area's with incorrect features for an Option 97 Cobra

The ID tags survived and were put on the replacement body and the original engine block was also used. The glove box plaques are easily re-produced. The vin number stamping on the shocker tower was fiddled with and you can clearly see this, I don't know why Vicroads didn't pick it up.

351 auto ,..with power windows ,....with a sunroof sold new at Jubilee Ford it was in that 100-200 range,..love to know if it has survived.

XYGTReplica · 03-08-2011, 10:50 AM

Hi Gents

An update for you to add to the list. #269 must be dead and gone. A friend of a friend just purchased a really nice cobra replica, 351 + 5 speed, with #269 on it.

Regards
John

We own 002, we purchased it in Townsville in about 1985 and have had it ever since.

Rear window from Cobra #222 for sale on ebay...

You are bidding on a rear window in excellent condition. It has factory tint in a shade of light blue complete with demister. Has a small area of scratches as shown in pics.

This Window was pulled out of a Genuine Ford XC 1978 Falcon cobra (#222) in 1989. At the time, it was coated with an after-market film of black tint which was carefully removed.

There are no cracks chips or blemishes of friction marks. Clean throughout.

paulauxr8 · 19-08-2011, 07:59 PM

Hi All,
I own 369, I purchased it in late 2008 in Brisbane.
I would love to know any history on this Cobra ie where it was originally sold in 1978 (Ford dealer, State) etc.
What I do Know-
It has been under restoration (storage) since the early 90's
It has not been registered since the early 90's (Qld)
Currently being restored back to it's former glory.

Email Ford Customer Service with all the info you have and they will fill in some spots!..

brut33 · 24-08-2011, 02:54 PM

Just been contacted by the new owner of 327, it's been rolled and he has bought the wreck to re-build it so another one being saved.

Belial · 03-09-2011, 03:00 PM

Pictures on number 270 went up on Aussie Coupes today.

Original pic's from a week after it was bought

jtcooke - very nice & very lucky to have this one. Do you know the no. of a Cobra (complete, straight but rusty - but repairable) that was for sale in a Townsville car yard in the late 90's for $2000? I was seriously interested unfortunitly someone else grabbed it before me.
