Friend of mine that owns a Ford Dealership called me yesterday and wanted to know if I wanted a new Cobra. I told him yes put me on the list. How much? He said he has no pricing information yet but as soon as he gets it he'll call me. If interested I will then pass on to the group hear.
I plan on taking off the side and top strips, and the grill cobra, Put some pony package lights in grill and a mustang in the center. Those wheels got to go also.

...You are joking, right?

 

"then i'm going to take out the 5.4 and put in a Chevy 350, that'll be a sleeper!"

 

From past experiences: special editions and SVT lose their theme, authentic value, and prestige when modifications are done. The originals always look better, that is what sets them apart . I agree with the wheels' assestment and as much as I would prefer Bullitt wheels on mine I would maintained it as designed.

 

I'd agree. Its cool you want one, but why change its character that much?

 

I just don't like the Hood, strips, or the cobra in the grill, I like the 4 headlights and a Mustang in the grill. Every Mustang I have ever owned I have made it mine. No Chevy thank you.
My first Mach 1 to now.

 

Neither do a lot of the TMS members, including myself but it would be a shame to pass on such a unique car because of the hood. The solution is having a dark color such as Ebony, Vista Blue, or Tungsten Grey and without stripes so the vents will not stand out that much.

I kept the OE Mustang emblem on the Cobra. It is problably one of the few Cobras which doesn't have the after market cobra emblem on it. If I get the GT500 I will keep the cobra emblem since it is OE.

 

Agreed, that is one reason I am getting mine in black. That and I love the color of black for the theme I am going for in my car.

 

wow that looks like one huge spoiler on that mach...

 

I want the dark red color, Im a marron kinna guy.
The spoiler on the old 1969 Mach I made of 8 gage steel and welded it to the body, The scoop is from a charger 6 pack, the side pipes were hooked to headers, fender flares, 428 super cobrajet, 11 1/2 clutch through a nascar 4 speed with 1 3/8 inch input spline, detroit locker 9 inch rear end with 4.30 gears. No power steering or power breaks, Ordered it that way for $3,050.00 in 1968, cregers all around, G-60-15 in front and L-78-15 in back, I sold it about 6 years ago.

You know you can order it sans stripes.

 

Jim
Sans strips? I also met Steve at a auto show Two years ago in Houston. He and his S-7. Both were nice.

Ron

 

:notnice: The 69 looks ridiculous. Wing looks like it came off a Daytona, and a Charger scoop? Looks like it's trying to be a Mopar.
I cannot believe someone would seriously consider putting a pony package grille into a new GT500.
(And it's "Cragar")

 

My car not yours, didn't ask for or want your opinion and a 1970 mustang looks like Cra--. W/camaro strips, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Thank you for that.
Ron

 

You might want to work on your comprehension. My 1970 Camaro had the "strips". My 1970 Mustang, which looked a lot like your 1969 save for the headlights and the out of place add-ons, did not.

 

The Pony grille won't fit the GT500.

 

I always wondered what ricers looked like in the 1960's...now i know!

 

Hasta, your Comprehension is in question. I think you forgot the , after your "1970 Forest Green w/gold stripes" . Reading comp 101, again I could care less what you have , but I will not stup to your level and talk about either one of your slow cars.
60s racer, yes indeed, Got a room full of trophys to show for it, 119 mph in then quarter on 7 inch tires F/S NHRA

Pony grill wont fit,, Come on, your kidding, right?

notice the difference in the grill....different shape and size...and the pony grill is made for the regular gt style front...

 

Yup, the Grill won't work. I'm sure at some point someone will have a replacement style grill, but don't count on it anytime soon after launch.
