For those who haven't seen

[Sellis1012]

I know most of you have seen the pics, but I like to show off. So, in celebration of our own little corner (I think they got sick of us hijacking threads), here is my Cobra.

I love those pictures. Nice ones.

[cobrstang]

I think that white/red interior is awesome!

[black1980fiveoh]

That is a sweet looking ride. That interior is great!

[Sellis1012]

Thanks. Mustn't forget the heart pounding turbo charged Lima 2.3!

Ummm.....DROOL! Very nice.

[Hissing Cobra]

Yeah, that Red and White interior is soooooo strikingly beautiful. It looks just as good if it's Blue and White. Those look Nice too! It's very cool to see a stock one that hasn't been molested.

Sometimes I wish that I'd kept mine like that. When I bought it, all it needed was a paint job, headliner (sagging), carpet (someone cut a hole in it on the side of the transmission tunnel) and tires (dry rotted but awesome tread). From there, I just would have had to detail the engine compartment.

Oh well, I can live vicariously through your's and David's (79Mustangcobra).

Sounds like our Cobras were in about the same condition when we got them. Mine has 35k original miles. Wasn't yours about the same?
I am pleased that the Cobras are finally getting some recognition, and it has taken the stock versions and the beautiful customs like yours to get us some. Yours is just drop dead gorgeous with power to boot.

WOW! That thing is MINT! Sweet Cobra Sellis, and thanks for sharing the pics. Do you have any more to share? I love the interior aswell, esspecially the door panels.

Thanks. Yeah, mine had 27,667 on it and the speedometer says 50 and some change now. However, it's been off since I put the 4.30 rear gears in. I just ordered a 6-tooth transmission speedometer drive gear and a 21 tooth speedometer cable drive gear so that the speedometer will be right on. As for how many miles are on it now, I really don't know. I'm not too worried because I'm positive that the drivetrain will continue to change and improve as time rolls on. I want a stroker motor for it at some point and can't wait until I get it!

Man you guys found some low mileage cars.

Yup, our dreams were somebody else's headache. Mine sat broken under a carport for 19 years.

Similar to mine, sat for about 2 yrs with a motor half tore apart due to overheating. But it also had about 91,000 on it then.

Your wish is my command.

I noticed your rear window wiper. I had a 1979 Capri RS turbo - Black w/orange - that came with a subwoofer box in the hatch area. The previous owner yanked the wiper & motor (I still have it somewhere, I sold this car in 1986) to allow the box to fit and sealed the hole with some black cork tape. Never leaked. Kick butt bass. How does your wiper work? Wasn't it a special switch on the left side of the dash? Great Car!

Hottest 79 Cobra ever!

If you look in the picture taken of the interior from the driver's side, there is a knob just to the right of the middle of the steering wheel. That is the knob that turns on the wiper and actuates the washer fluid. Very cool set up. The washer fluid is filled through a spout that is positioned in the drip rail of the rear hatch.

Hottest 79 Cobra ever!
I am humbled. Highest compliment ever paid.

[cobrstang]

It is the nicest I ever remember seeing!

Now you're making me blush. Awe shucks.

[86REDGT]

your Cobra is awesome!!! :cool:

[K PONY]

Your Cobra and Pete's Cobra "Hissing Cobra" are two of the finest examples of 79 Cobra's out there.

[Sellis1012]

Pete's is what the 79 Cobra should have been.

Where is Jeff's forbidden donut pic? Gotta love those '79s.

A possible reference to the one-wheel-spinouts? I thought I was so cool back in 1988 when I could actually break loose the rear tire and leave a single pencil line down my street!

[anthonydalrymple]

Huh...... They made Mustangs in '79? Who duh thunk.......;)

Beautiful car there bud!

[79mustangcobra]

It looks great - I love the interior. I need to scan some pictures of mine in. She looks pretty good too.

Did you polish your air cleaner top?
