Are awesome restored mid to late 70’s Mustang’s and Camaro’s making a comeback sound investment soon?
This example of a restored 1976 Cobra leaves us saying not just yet, with bidding currently at $3,650 with 34 bids and 2 days left. But as the supply of good bodied 60’s pony cars dry up, as do the people who lust for them, perhaps it will be time for a younger generation of car enthusiasts to harken back to their cash strapped youth and step up with barn finds, ground up restorations and record setting auction prices on the cars they lusted after in their youth.
In the meantime, could buy it now be an investment? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, you can snatch this Arizona born example for hopefully a good price.
Oh how we miss the beauty rings!

Up for auction is an extremely rare 1977 Ford Mustang Cobra II Hatchback that was purchased new in Tempe, Arizona. Her body is extremely dry all around and her metal in great shape. This Cobra has some very rare options and came completely loaded form the factory with such items as her Ford 302 V8 Motor, 4 Speed Manual Transmission, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Brakes and so much more. Her instrument cluster is superb with full racing gauges including working factory tachometer plus two additional Sunpro instruments under her dash for temperature and oil pressure even. Throaty dual chrome exhaust out the back gives this Cobra just the right touch. Her exterior paint is orange with black dual stripes on her hood, roof plus front and rear bumpers even. Up front she has her color coded hood scoop that is impressive plus her rear lift back comes with a full set of matching louvers including both side sets that cover her push out side vent windows. Her paint is still holding on well with the usual battle scars and minor flaws throughout. A rear wing molded factory spoiler gives this Mustang Cobra II that unique race look that everyone is after. All her glass is in excellent condition all around with working window regulators plus her stainless bright trim is very nice throughout. Her interior upholstery consists of racing bucket seats plus a fold down 2+2 rear sport bench that makes this small sports car very versatile. She is rolling on a set of matching Ford rims that come complete with chrome beauty rings plus center caps and a Ford spare tire for her ultra dry wheel well in the back. New gas struts hold her rear lift up without any issues and her rear plastic sail panels and molded interior trim look great. Her racing three hole leather wrapped steering wheels is in excellent condition and she even comes with her factory Ford pushbutton Aeronutronic radio that still works and looks great with good speakers all around. Her in dash digital clock plus simulated wood trim appoint the interior nicely and she comes with dual side remote color coded mirrors even. Under her hood things look very stock including what probably is her factory valve covers with Ford stamp marks all around. Factory buck tag still in place behind her grill and she comes with a Marti Report verifying authenticity. Mechanically this Cobra has very sound fundamentals and she fires right up and she drives out nice. This Cobra has not been dyno tested but from your first drive down the road she feels way throatier than your normal Cobra of this era and true horsepower is unknown. She runs and drives very nice and very strong. Flaws worth noting are her passenger front fender has a dimple on top that has already been touched up a little and dash comes with the usual Arizona sun cracks plus the driver’s side seat has more wear than the rest plus a little droop in the headliner and one small hole but original. Intermittent windshield wiper washer and her lights work front and back plus both sides. Her hood latch needs to be fixed and her front racing spoiler is missing. She is a factory A/C Mustang but is lacking her compressor but has what appears to be most everything else. One of her V8 emblems is also MIA. She was a full color change from white with a super rare green Cobra decal kit so collectors think forward if possible. Her wheel well was preserved with her original white paint just for this reason. A true classic and rare barn find from the driest state in the nation should please the next collector easily. Not too many of these become available especially with a four speed on the floor and Phoenix ordering district as well. Very rare Cobra II so bid with complete confidence and simply call, text or write with any questions you may have about anything whatsoever.
