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!

I found the All Ford Day thread. There is a photo of the 2 cars about 3/4 down the page.

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!!

#239 - SYDNEY, NSW

#257 - 302 has been replaced with a 351 and bathurst scoop added. Went to UK in 2002

#293 - WA - Seen for sale April 2007 for $59,999 - 127,988 K'ms

#337 - MARYBOROUGH, QLD - For Sale Feb 2002 - $2,500 - 65,000 Km's

#349 - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

#385 - owned by someone called Alex.


Cheers

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.

I can add numbers

322 Advertised on eBay may 2001. Excellent condition.
051 Advertised on Victoria car sales. $13.5k may 1998
058 mine and alive and well.

I'm sure there is one in an old street machine that was painted black with t-tops. I will dig it out and post the number.

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.

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.

Default Bathurst Cobras

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

Dumb *** question? What is fast glass?
