'

VIN 0R38C133173 was the '87 HotRod 'Yellow Jacket' car, try Googling w/ the letter O as the first digit instead of correct Zero for lots of ads/pics.
Looks like the 5'th VIN digit C indicates a 429 CobraJet, not a factory Ram Air car which would have a J like the 70.5 Falcon previously linked?
Cool Fords, hope your friend finds what he's looking for!

These were the models:

The Cobra, Torino, and GT were available as fastbacks. All models were available with the SCJ.

And to add, the convertible was only available on the GT

Weren’t there a couple of King Cobras (aero cars) made in ‘70?

All King Cobras were Cobras with aero pieces added. There never was an official King Cobra produced.

----Thanks, Pete!!! I'm absolutely sure that is the car in question. I was told by my friend that the car is a Super Cobra Jet. I can't read the article and don't know if it addressed that but can one tell by the Vin? How much of a drop in value if any would there be with the lack of a shaker?.....Bill S

Bill - see Pete's break down from yesterday's post below. "C" in VIN indicates CJ not SCJ - is the article about the car you are inquiring about?

This is partially incorrect. The SCJ is a CJ with the Drag Pack, so you can't tell by the VIN, but the car could be an SCJ.

The key is looking at the data plate. If the axle code is for 3.91 or 4.30, then 99% sure it's a SCJ.

Thanks! Would a casting no. on the block differentiate the 2 bolt (CJ) from the 4 bolt main (SCJ)?
