Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Okay, this vehicle is probably not going to sell because of what the vehicle means to me but I figured I would list it just to see if somebody has a bigger interest than me.

First off, the car is going to need another clean car to build. The entire car is rust rust and more rust. The entire underneath is ruined including the torques. It's going to take a true surgeon to bring this car back to life. But where theres a will theres a way I guess. The fenders are shot, doors are shot, quarters shot, trunk shot, wheel wells shot. THE BODY IS TOAST this is not for the faint of heart.

On for the good on the car. How many chances are you going to get to buy a barn find 71 grabber blue cobra these days, matching numbers at that! Car has original engine, with every correct accessory, carb, heads, valve covers, distributor, shroud you name it they are the ones that came on the car new. Has the original transmission and nodular rear end also. Interior is nice, perfect package tray, like practicaly a NOS dashpad, nice door panels and a really really nice console. The car has a super nice grille with only one crack and no missing pieces WITH THE COBRA EMBLEM. The bezels arent pitted either. Most chrome on the car doesnt need rechromed in my opionion other than the bumpers. This car even has the correct air cleaner. Did you notice the little emblem on the hood that says ford? Most restored 71's dont have that its impossible to find and this car even has that.

So all the hard to find parts are here and its matching numbers in grabber blue with rear window louvers. VERY VERY ATTRACTIVE car. Not to mention the factory laser stripe the car was a looker. Open to cash offers!!!! 260-306-1375 Real offers as I know what the car could be parted for which I will not do so don't ask. As seen in pics car even has the jack...How rare is that? Car has engine id tag and buck tag. I have the original warranty card and a little other stuff. Clean title guys!!! LETS JUST REMEMBER THIS CAR IS AS ROUGH METAL WISE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. So don't bid unless you know what your up for. Hood is rust free and decklid is very useable.

This is my dream car so its going to take the right buyer/offer to sell. Thanks.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford

Thu, 22 May 2014

It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
