They had it at the All Ford Day in September last year, parked beside a brand new BF Cobra, which just happened to be be No. 7!

Thanks for that info, now I know it's not a ghost!!

Looks like lots of Cobra's have survived, more than I'd imagined. Looks like most of the Option 97 ones have survived which is great!!

cobra no 109 is on the left mine : )115 on the right


after the coppers found the stolen cobra they locked it up in the eliz police station yard ,then later that night it was stolen again from the police station !!!Gary n Burnie owner of 109 gary 115 went looking for it n found the 109 painted all white!!! i think they found it in smithfeild from memory i was only 16 at the time all this was going on ,they aproced the guys that were in it n from memory (i use to work for them ) things got real nasty ,the car took with the theveing dogs inside ,and that was the last time cobra 109 was seen aLIVE :(

[XYGTReplica]

That is a shame about #109 Pat. I bet that you are happy to have some old pics of your car though. There must be thousands of photos like that in peoples cupboards or albums.

Regards
John

It works from your link there now; so thanks.

[Brute 33]

Has no.1 been found.?.....what about no.400? THE LAST ONE..

[T3man]

What about 188? It's supposedly on the register but I can't find who owns it - I WANT IT BACK!

[landy351]

I remember a cobra being dismantled in Warren Cullens(ex race car driver) wrecking yard on Mahoneys road Thomastown in the early 80's and from memory it was #110

[King Neptune]

G'day all, I went to the "Hanging Rock " car show on the weekend and had a look at 2 Cobras. One was No 385 (I think a 4.9), & the other, No 230. I think I have taken photos of both. I will post them up when I find out how to download them of my new phone!!!!
Cheers Rob.

[smally289]

I did my Apprenticeship at Jarvis Ford in Adelaide and we had one on the used car lot in 1987. It was one of the Option 97 vehicles, I can clearly remember the reverse bonnet scoop, shock tower braces etc and was number 25 or 27, cannot remember exactly. It was parked in the workshop everynight and I used to rush to work in the mornings so I could be the one to drive it out!
I heard that not long after we sold it it was side swiped by a truck.

[XC GXL]

This may sound like a stupid question but which ones were the actual ones raced at Bathurst? Or are these "Unnumbered" factory specials in addition to the 400 Cobras produced for road use?
I'm sorry if this has already been covered somewhere else but I can't seem to find anything.
There is Alan Moffats XC in the Museum at Bathurst which intrigues me. Is it a Cobra or just a Falcon GS. There is no Cobra Badge on the Glovebox.
I'm very curious about this car at the museum.

Thanks

Wayne
