Original Ford Polished 12-Slot Wheels with Centre Caps. Marti Report Included, 1 of just 249 in this paint/trim combination. I am the first owner in Australia Condition & Presentation. The car has had a respray in its factory colour. The paintwork presents well for a driver and has a tidy street appearance, not concours level, but very respectable for a 55-year-old muscle car. The engine bay is clean, and the genuine Ram Air setup remains intact. Chrome and trim are complete and presentable, though some pieces would benefit from restoration or refitting for a show finish. Mechanical Overview The car starts, runs, drives, and stops. It has received recent maintenance work including: New front brake pads. New battery. Suspension leafs, bushings and minor exhaust adjustments. General fastener and small hardware replacements It would benefit from a full service and tune, as it has been sitting since mid-2022. Items Still Requiring Attention As with most classic imports, a few jobs remain before roadworthy and registration: Brake booster may require reconditioning. Engine and transmission mounts. Diff U-bolts and tie rod boots. Replacement of seatbelts (to RDR-compliant spec). Rear bumper rechrome. Power steering pump missing (manual steering currently). Windscreen wipers and tyres. Floor pan and underbody repairs. General mechanical service and tune-up. Chrome and badge refitting, small cosmetic details Nothing structural or major, simply the usual finishing work for a classic U.S. import. Value & Notes This is a rare, documented, running R-Code 428 Cobra Jet Torino, not a clone or replica. Very few genuine examples exist in Australia. Comparable Torino GTs are listed locally for $75,000–$85,000, while Australian GT replicas, Monaros, and XA/XB coupes in slighted condition regularly exceed $65,000–$100,000. At $65,000 this Cobra represents excellent buying, an opportunity to own a genuine R-Code big-block car with Marti documentation, ready for clean-up restoration or cruising.
