1980 Cobra Turbo 4 Chamois/Caramel Door Tag

[mongos82ttop]

This is the door tag from the 1980 Cobra that I talked to you about at Foxtoberfest, Mick. This is the car that BevoBo50 and Blacksnake owned.

I will update with the buck tag at a later date. The tag isn't visible with the complete front end still bolted onto the car.





Thanks, Mongos82ttop.

91svtcoupe, I believe my car has actually been repainted at some point in time. Even , the paint on it now is faded and dull.

The only pics I have of it, are the ones that I've found on here and on the internet. The car at the moment is filthy. The car had sit underneath a bunch of trees for the last few years , until I bought it. It is now safe and dry in my shop, until I start restoring it.
