What could possibly go wrong?

busterb · 06-15-2015, 01:34 PM

One on right needs some overload springs.

More pics (including the front, unfortunately)

1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype, btw...

Pic #2 looks like a Datsun 240Z.

Gravdigr · 06-18-2015, 03:47 PM

I thought the same thing. A 240Z on steroids.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-18-2015, 04:56 PM

You might find a used one in NC.

BigV · 06-19-2015, 12:05 AM

^^WHS^^

ps, where do the eyelids disappear to?

Gravdigr · 06-19-2015, 01:12 PM

If you refer to the Torino, I think the headlight covers come off, as opposed to retracting/disappearing. By hand, I assume.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-19-2015, 03:12 PM

Agreed, there's no sign of anywhere for those covers to go. As a matter of fact there's no obvious attachment points, I wonder how they were held on?

Magic or magnet. But these were supposed to stay on at 200+ mph so probably a little duct tape too.

I just realized the link to the used cars I posted, is the same dealer that has this Ford on ebay.

Ah damn....
