1980 Mustang Cobra
For Sale: 1980 Ford Mustang Cobra. 4.2L V8 Auto Transmission. Silver and black exterior with vaquero
interior. Original 49,000+ miles.
As stated by the previous owner, the car was wrecked in the front in 1982. The car was used as
practice for an auto shop in a school. Looks like the hood, windshield, front clip, and fenders were
replaced during this time. It appears they painted over the original paint. I know the car sat up for
a long time, as there were a lot of rust particles in the gas tank. I replaced the tank with a new
one, the carb was rebuilt, and all rubber gas lines were replaced. I replaced the fuel pump, the
ignition module, wires, plugs, distributer cap, rotor, and coil. I still have the original dated plug
wires and the original coil and original blue distributor cap. I even kept the original bad Dura spark
module. Valve cover gaskets have been replaced. Car runs great. Transmission shifts fine.
Electrically, everything works. However, there are some bulbs out on some of the dash gauges. All
gauges work. Heater works. A/C blows but not cold. Compressor does kick on, just no cold air. I
believe the brakes are still original and suspension parts as well. I do drive this car on occasion,
especially on the weekends, however I do not recommend driving this car long distances, the tires are
dated 1979 and are cracking. Car never overheats and does not smoke. As you can see from the
pictures, the paint is faded and only shines in some areas. This car is solid and has absolutely no
rot. There is some surface rust on some areas. Exhaust is original. There are some holes in the
exhaust system from age.
The interior is ultra clean. The dash pad only has cracks where the speaker holes are and nowhere
else. The carpet has faded and is brittle in some places especially in the back seat area. Some
plastic is sun faded and cracked. I replaced the driver side door panel with a NOS cobra door panel
two years ago. The passenger side door panel is faded. This car is a no console equipped car. The
seats are in excellent shape. It doesn’t appear like much sitting was done through the years. The
steering wheel looks brand new. The previous owner did install 6x9 speakers in the back unfortunately.
This car is not optioned with back speakers. The front speakers do not work and the original radio is
long gone, instead replaced with a cheap unit. The headliner material is faded and will need
replacement eventually. It appears the spare tire has never been used. I did purchase an extra TRX
wheel and tire that can be used as a spare along with the temporary one. I have kept this car in a
garage for the last 3 years. I never drive in the rain. I do wash it on occasion and it never leaks
water into the interior. The sun roof does not leak either.
I found the original build sheet under the carpet, so that is on hand. I also received a letter from
Ford stating the options that came with this vehicle. I have a clean title in hand.
I’m located in Shreveport, LA. I’m asking $6000.00 OBO
