    Default Just want to say hello.

    I posted a thread in the introduction area, but since I have a Cobra, I thought I should do so here as well. I ran the Buck tag decoder and got the info below. The car has been repainted in the original Chamois Glow, and the motor and transmission are not original either. It has a 351W with an AOD. After looking online I believe this is a rare interior/exterior color combo and while it's not a color I would necessarily pick...it's growing on me. I look forward to getting the car complete and learning/sharing here on the forum

    Wow, that's a beautiful Cobra! One of my favorite color combos. Is it a hood decal delete car? You need to meet Jim Jarard. He's in Ga also and has a identical car. His is 2.3 turbo.

    Thanks!

    As for the decal delete, I know the car had side stripes before it was repainted. I do not know whether it had the hood decal. I will be looking to get at least the side stripes put back on if I can find them.

    Thanks!

    You managed to mention the first two things I want to do to the car. Wheels and tires are on the agenda. I'm undecided which wheels. 16" TRXs are a definite option though. As for the 5 speed, I just happen to have a freshened up T-5 that needs a home. This AOD has some issues so I am beginning to gather the parts necessary for a 5 speed conversion.

    Welcome to FEP! Awesome looking Cobra!

    The color is one that although I might not have original picked either, it's a great color and you will most likely never see another one like it! So it makes your Cobra even more unique and cool.
