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.

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 :-)

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Reading Unique Cars November 1989 earlier today and I noticed an advertisement for Cobra 052 which was stolen.

May be another one gone to heaven :(

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.
