"Hey Mike I just thought you might want to see my Cobra that is being restored as I type. I have owned it since March and it has come a long way. The pics I have are from when we found the car and then started working on it. I have the trunk section completely done and starting on the quarter panels. Car is a little unique. According to FORD after I called there historic document department they researched the vin and I found it to be a little unusual for a Cobra. They sent me a letter stating that this car came with ramair 429cj and and that it was a column shift auto. The rarity in that is that it also came with bucket seats. Most all that had column shift had bench seats and I have not seen another that came with buckets and column shift. I need to get the Marti report on it but to busy getting my baby road ready. Take care and hope to join you all soon on the car shows.

8-27-2005 - "Hey Mike I just thought I would update you on the progress of my 70 Cobra project. I did get the Marti report and it is 1 of 13 with these options. Pretty cool huh! I have the motor completed and most of the parts have been glass beaded and recoated and waiting to get back on the car. Carb is back from pony carbs on a concourse rebuild. I have found NOS parts and will have to use very few reproduction parts on this project. I hope to start going the other way it soon. Thanks for your website it has helped with many of the parts for this car."
