was there ever such thing as an early hartop mustang with a cobra engine?
Hi folks!
I´m really a Mopar nut (I own a 71 Challenger and a 71cuda), but also a lover of any of the great american musclecars....I also own a 1992 Ford F150 pickup so I guess that makes me part of the Ford crowd too! Well, the thing is that I have just stumbled upon a 67 or 68 Mustang Hardtop which has what seems to be an original cobra small block engine under the hood. It has the cobra valvecovers, cobra intake and an big aluminum finned oil pan with the "cobra" lettering on the sides. I dont know if the engine belongs to this car, but there is another 65 or 66 hardtop sitting by its side with no engine, and I believe this is the car which originally held the engine in question. AS far as I know, the only early mustangs which had the small block cobra engine were the Shelby GT-350s (which had the fastback configuration). But was there ever such thing as a cobra engined hardtop? I live in Lima, Peru. And I suppose you already know Peru is once was full of rare mustangs such as Shelbys and Shelby Rs. Some rare Mustangs still pop up every know and then, so please tell me if Ive stumbled accross something rare. I would also like in fo on how to identify if its a "real" car. Where should I look for the VINs and stuff lie that....plus some more info in case that the is missing, since the car is totally stripped. Thanks and I would greatly appreciate any info you guys could provide. PS, one of the cars has a GT gas cap out back. |
