One of 3054 Cobras built in 1971, this one's a cool bench seat 4-speed car that's made it onto the market due to the passing of the original owner. These cars are way cool but don't seem to bring the dollars, so let's hope someone with a passion gets this one cleaned up and back on the road. Even has the original build sheet and window sticker....

I've always like these too, would be really tempting to get it back on the road and drive it as is for a couple years.

Man, I’ve always liked these too. Great color combo for this car. I don’t know much about them but love that style. One thing I don’t see on the window sticker is the Shaker. Was it standard with that car? Also, it says optional ratio on the axle. Any idea what it is? The seller should have posted smaller pictures so we could have more unanswered questions:scholar::biggthumpup::tongue:

Cheers

Pretty sure J-code meant Ram Air/Shaker 429, and a C-code (in the fifth VIN digit) would mean 429 non-ram air/flat hood.
