1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra

Presenting an exceptional piece of automotive history, the 1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra. This R code 4-speed drag pack car comes proudly with its original engine. Exuding a classic charm, it showcases a formal roof and cloth bench seats, retaining the essence of what a cobra should embody. This particular vehicle is famously referred to as “your grandma’s grocery getter,” due to its authentic and unaltered state, reflecting exactly how it was when it initially departed from the dealership.

While the car remains unrestored and unmolested, a single repaint was undertaken to preserve its body condition meticulously, resulting in its pristine and original appeal. Notable inclusions are the original smog system, cast iron intake, and carburetor with ram air intake, preserving the car’s integrity. The engine has been enhanced with a Ford medium riser aluminum intake.

The drivetrain has been meticulously freshened, extending from the radiator to the locker rear, and features an externally balanced engine. Originally, it was an automatic with a 350 gear, power brakes, steering, and an AM radio. Post dealership modifications transformed it to a radio delete, 4-speed 391 gear, and oil cooler, enhancing its performance capabilities.

This Fairlane Cobra boasts a unique clean title, exemplifying a flawless history. With a fascinating 20-year ownership legacy, it comes out only for shows and predictably garners significant attention due to its rarity and maintained condition. Its striking presence is underlined with just the iconic cobra snakes and hood scoop hosting the revered 428 Cobra Jet.

The vehicle’s authenticity is marked by every part starting with “C9,” ensuring that the top loader is correct with its reverse shifter and Shelby shifter knob – all original attributes that are rare to find. The reinforced webbing and welded C on the back of the block add to its uniqueness.

This car is indeed a genuine time capsule, conjuring nostalgia and ideal for the true Blue Oval collector who appreciates Ford’s answer to the muscle car era. With a diligent maintenance record and clean title, this 1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra is a distinguished contender in the classic car domain.
