Tyreman Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) Forgive me please i feel like i am showing off...I own none of this now and broke! but a nice memory for me and may have retro appeal?. In the UK My 1969 Ford Cobra...it was also known as a Torino Cobra...it was a 428 4 speed... the toys are my genuine childhood toys!...I was born 1973. Edited May 23 by Tyreman 5
bobss396 Posted May 23 Posted May 23 I had a few 1969 Fairlanes, none with a 428. They were cool cars.
espo Posted May 23 Posted May 23 The notchback body style makes this an even rarer car than the usual fastback body styles. 1
Doug 1061 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I would be showing it off also. Beautiful Torino. And 3 pedals makes it all the better. It must be a real head turner across the pond.

I would love a car like that now!...a local guy owns an early 70s Mustang Mach one sports roof...he wants to convert to V8...leave alone i say so rare now and far more interesting to me than a V8.
