I aplogize that this isnt the right forum for this but here goes...
A close freind of mines neighboor recently passed away. He has what we think is either a 69 or 70 Torino Cobra or Taladega sitting in his backyard. At worst it could just be a plain old Torino fastback. The car has been sitting for over 20 years so it is pretty sad with trees & brush growing over the front end. It does have the shaker hood, 429 (i think), 4 speed & Cobra badging on the side, but it only has a bench seat & doesnt have a rear honeycomb panel. Basically he left it to his family to sell the car & other crap & divide the money up. I am trying to help his son find out if this is a real Torino Cobra or perhaps Taladega. Some guys came & looked @ it & told him that it was just a Torino with stickers on it....BTW, the car looks to be pretty complete & solid other than the dent on the rear left quarter. This could be a badass car 1 day....
If anyone knows where or how I can decode this vin # to find out the real deal about the car, & if anyone is interested it will be for sale as soon as he figures out what it really is....
Anyway here is the vin he gave me (dont know if its correct)
# 0R38J134901
& here are the only crappy pics I have. If u look closely u can see the faded shaker popping out from the hood...
