I found that there were 1003 total Cobra verts, but I was looking if there was a breakdown of colors and interiors. I guess they made them all Black with Saddle leather that year.

Don't they automatically go down with the fronts when you put the top down?
Or is it a manual top, and you put the windows down yourself?

I believe (dont quote me on this) that on the older verts you have the manual top and then you have to put down the 1/4 windows....

Wayne's car has a power top and the operation of the windows is totally independent of the top..

Yep, there is another set of buttons that I didn't realize was there right away for the 1/4's. The car is power everything.
Bob, I bought the car locally but it has never seen any WI elements. I believe it actually started life in Cali.

Aren't those certs the coolest??
Car looks nice lowered. Did you get the front end aligned after the spring swap? It looks just a little like camber is off a tad? Might just be the camera angle, but just in case, you don't want your tires to wear out on the inside edges...

The camera angle magnifies it a bit, but I do need to get it in for the alignment. Can't wait for the cert to get here so I can make a real nice display for the car shows I can never make it to. lol
