Joe,
The 1969 model was just listed as Ford Cobra because they sent them to the Woods Brothers to modify for NASCAR, The official Torino Cobra came in 1970 and 99% were yellow. Mine still has the weld seems in it where they took the notch back off and welded the fast back to it. The only reason I knew about them was the Ford dealer back then was a good friend and called me and asked me if I would be interested in one. To the best of my knowledge they only sold two up in this area and one was a notch back which was only around for a few months. Mine in in the Ford/Torino registry and there are about 3 pages that break them down right to the type of seat covers the have. After wading through all that they only made 29 exactly in the configuration mine is and can't account for but about 11 or 12 of them. Of course we never had smog testing up here when I had him order it so the first thing the dealer did was pull the engine and get rid of all the smog stuff and bore it .065 and change cams and other minor stuff, so it isn't a concurs car by any means. But it has been in several magazines and had several people come to look at it and that is how I found about the weld seems at the back and a couple of other things that when anyone has one restored they have ground down flat. Mine is probably the only 69 that still has the original tires on it though. When I got home fromthe drive it has turned over 40,953 miles.
