Cobra strikes... gold!
For much of its existence since 1978, the Ford Falcon XC Cobra has been something of an orphan, a side story in the rich tapestry of collectable Australian muscle cars. But that has changed over the last few years, with the Cobra becoming increasingly appreciated – as well as increasingly appreciating in market value. The car featured here recently changed hands for as much as $600,000 – it is the rarest of rare Cobras, one of only 30 Bathurst homologation special Cobras built as part of the run of 400 cars, unrestored and unmolested.
