Ford Falcon BF Cobra – today’s tempter

This 30th anniversary special has been kept in a bubble all its life

This BF Falcon Cobra has been kept in a bubble and is now on the market.

Ford's BF Falcon Cobra caused a hell of a stir at the time, and was released in the hope of injecting new interest in the Falcon range.

In a feature comparing this car with the original hardtop, we wrote:

Read the press release, and the FPV GT Cobra was introduced to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the XC Hardtops' now famous 1-2 victory formation at the 1977 Bathurst 1000 race, which led to the release of the limited edition Cobra XC Hardtop the following year.
Truth be known, Ford Oz would have been itching for any excuse to re-release the Cobra, one of the most recognisable and admired of all homegrown Ford products.
At almost every opportunity in recent memory the Broadmeadows' boys had rolled out some old Cobras for a promotional stunt. Remember the gathering of 50 Cobras at Ford's head office in 2003 for the model's 25th anniversary? What about Allan Moffat and Colin Bond squeezing back into their '77 winning steeds for some parade laps over the 2002 Bathurst weekend?

Here's the full story.

In the meantime, we just spotted this in our classifieds: an as-new BF Cobra, never registered, and with only 33km on it!

Here, in part, is what the ad says:
