VIN 0R38C133173 was the '87 HotRod 'Yellow Jacket' car, try Googling w/ the letter O as the first digit instead of correct Zero for lots of ads/pics. Looks like the 5'th VIN digit C indicates a 429 CobraJet, not a factory Ram Air car which would have a J like the 70.5 Falcon previously linked? Cool Fords, hope your friend finds what he's looking for! ~ Pete .

Weren’t there a couple of King Cobras (aero cars) made in ‘70?

All King Cobras were Cobras with aero pieces added. There never was an official King Cobra produced.

----Thanks, Pete!!! I'm absolutely sure that is the car in question. I was told by my friend that the car is a Super Cobra Jet. I can't read the article and don't know if it addressed that but can one tell by the Vin? How much of a drop in value if any would there be with the lack of a shaker?.....Bill S

Bill - see Pete's break down from yesterday's post below. "C" in VIN indicates CJ not SCJ - is the article about the car you are inquiring about?

The key is looking at the data plate. If the axle code is for 3.91 or 4.30, then 99% sure it's a SCJ. |

Thanks! Would a casting no. on the block differentiate the 2 bolt (CJ) from the 4 bolt main (SCJ)?
