First of all, where is that car? If you don't buy it I want to!



Wait...... nevermind...... I have WAY too many things going on the way it is.......

I think that this is old news to most all of us.

Found it. I'll post the link in the Craigslist thread. Honestly, I suspect it's a Mach 1.....

Blain Jensen 801-859-9531
Yes I think he is a private seller this time but his dad? has Blain Jensen RV. A dealer in Kaysville UT
Same here I want the car but I have 7 still
These 4 speeds are rare though as you guys know
The cobra badges and the steering wheel and the instrument cluster do not match
You guys would sure know more about that

 

[manicmechanic007]

There is a black 67 on there with a 289 and a 4 speed too
Makes me want to fly to Dubois, Idaho with 7.5K (Today!!)

It's a nice car but it is not Cobra. It's missing the rear spoiler and has the trim on the side. There is a remote chance it's a Cobra but doubtful. It looks like a repainted Mach I. The seats, trim, hood scoop, ac and lack of rear spoiler makes it appear to be a Mach I. Check the sway bars. If it has the fat one on front and one on the rear it was most likely a Mach.

Cobras did not come with the competition suspension where as the Mach's did. You could order it on the Cobra but I have 2 Cobras here and one has it and one doesn't.

If I had the cash and it runs good without warning flags I would buy it. I would be upgrading that fan as soon as it got home. It may be the pics but it looks small. I have a 16" electric fan on Christine. It takes up most of the radiator.

If you friend is calling it a King it was probably a King Cobra. That air dam was standard on them.

 

[manicmechanic007]

The red one,
His dad owned a Ford dealer in Bakersfield I think, and he ordered the car for his graduation present
I think it was as nice as they come

Also, Machs were the only model identified by the VIN. I remember looking at the VIN on their website the other day and they only displayed the VIN from the engine identifier on, they omitted the first 4 numbers. If the third and fourth digits are "05" it's a Mach, anything else and it's not. It also has a specific body code, I think it's 69 or something IIRC.... can't remember now. But the Mach 1s are the only "specialty" IIs that are designated in these ways, all others are not and can only be verified by the buck tag.

 

[LILCBRA]

Did a little Googling, the body code would be 69R for a Mach 1.

Used 77 for this example, but it's typical for all years of the II.

 

[manicmechanic007]

That 69 of mine has a G, where most have an F

 

[LILCBRA]

Looks like that would be the engine code.

The "F" in the VIN of a II is for the standard, run of the mill 302. IIs didn't come with anything special as far as the 302 went.
