I do not believe any other Fords wore the Cobra name back then (but I could be wrong).
Limited production run (specifically for Nascar to be able to use them) 1969 Ford Cobra. It is the Torino body, and the next year they called them Torino Cobras, but the 69 was just Ford Cobra. I never knew they existed until late last year/early this year. Ron61 from here has one. As far as I know, it is the oldest Ford using it.
