In 2007, Ford drew inspiration from the hallowed names of the past and recreated a legend with the limited-edition FPV GT Cobra. Released at the Sydney Motor Show in both sedan and ute models, the new GT celebrated the Cobra name last seen in the Seventies on the famous white and blue XC hardtops that scored a memorable victory at Bathurst in 1977. Indeed, the latest Cobra was unveiled on a parade lap of Mount Panorama before the 2007 Bathurst 1000, exactly 30 years after Colin Bond and Allan Moffat’s triumphant 1-2 finish. As with the first generation Cobra’s, just 400 individually numbered examples of the new FPV GT Cobra sedan were made available, snapped up by enthusiasts, many of whom already owned one of the original XC Cobras. NO, your eyes are not deceiving you!! Only 59 Delivery kilometres is all that this car has travelled!! Almost impossible to find another BF Cobra of this calibre. Originally delivered to Reef City Ford Gladstone and lovingly cared for ever since. From the exclusive Cobra paint scheme to the gorgeous unmarked interior this Cobra is Brand New in every aspect inside out and front to back!! This Cobra has never even been registered!! The Cobra has no modifications and not one piece has been altered right down to the original tyres just as you would expect. Build number is 034/400 and it is also fitted with the six speed manual transmission which adds to its desirability. Retaining the Ford compendium and original logbooks this future classic is for the true enthusiast, collector or investor. There would certainly only be a few examples as good as this one. Seeing is truly believing so do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a video inspection with one of our team members today!!
Make no mistake, FPV’s farewell GT is a veritable missile. For those who missed out on the opportunity of purchasing the limited edition FPV GT-F with only 500 on offer, they were sure snapped up ‘faster than lightning would travel through a wet dog’. MCW is winding back the clock to make it possible for those who missed the boat to purchase this iconic modern muscle car. Being a 1 owner 6-speed manual gear box with only 735km on the clock with all its original documentation, log books, manuals, purchase receipts and FPV Compendium with verification letter sold by Sinclair Ford NSW. Registered with NSW custom plate 71-GTF , with reference to the build number 71/500 still smells BRAND NEW and presents in PRISTINE condition throughout
This is far from a computer-tickle-and-decals special. The small but passionate teams at FPV wanted to go out with a BANG and something iconic, not just cosmetics and marketing waffle, and as a result, the GT-F boasts the best hardware available from FPV running a 5.0Lt V8 Supercharged producing 351KW.
It follows the same format as 2012’s GT R-Spec, featuring its mixed-width wheel and tyre package (including 19 x 9.0-inch rear alloys wearing 275/30R19 Dunlops) and the now-discontinued GT-P’s premium brakes – 355mm cross-drilled front discs with six-piston Brembo calipers, and 330mm cross-drilled rears with four-piston Brembo calipers.
GT-F’s suspension tune also mirrors the R-Spec – higher spring rates, re-tuned Sachs monotube dampers, stiffer front upper control arm bushes, stiffer upper suspension mounts, a larger 19mm rear anti-roll bar, reinforced rear lower control arms and a revised toe setting on the rear wheel alignment to improve turn-in, plus stiffer transmission mounts to “reduce powertrain and driveline movement under load”. GT-F’s blacked-out styling package – gloss-black ‘raccoon eyes’, full black upper grille, black-bezel headlights and tail-lights, black door handles, a big gloss-black rear spoiler, and a gloss-black diffuser. Then there’s the stripe package, which the designers used to enhance the Falcon’s shape. So the GT-F gets a wide, matte-black over-body stripe – reminiscent of the anti-reflective matte-black bonnets of 1960s and ’70s race cars – flanked by a thinner pair of stripes, and matte-black inserts into the scallops in the lower doors. Familiar as the Falcon shape may be, the GT-F’s look is tough and recognisably different. Interior is special with GT embroidered suede and leather accented seats which wrap around your body to give you that ultimate drive experience complimented with orange stitching throughout, the instrument dials with orange-striped faces gives the feel of that European race with 351 logos , as is the large centre touch screen has unique digital dials among them is a G-force metre,the GT-F intro screen with build number. So as it stands, the GT-F is a pretty special car and a good example of a true Australian muscle car. Now available to view at our Kogarah facility.
