Hmm Cobra Mach 1 huh. Must be super rare.
Again a nice car, but not even close to a $30000 nice car. I'm not spending $30k on anything that has a primered bumper.

Not a bad looking car (wish mine was that nice, actually), but yeah - the hood paint is wrong (especially for "restored to original"), and a primered bumper is bad.
Just another case of uninformed seller fishing for Boss 351 money.
I hope it gets sold to someone who knows what it really is and takes care of it... and not some kid who will just drive it to death.

1972 Q Code 4-speed conv.
Nope - and since he is sayin' restored the hood should not be gloss black or clearcoat... more like a satin. But MANY decide the gloss is more to their own preference. I always prefered the satin - also 'called' flat or semi-flat because its original and reminds me of similar finishes on most of the factory performance Fords.
Here's what I have shared as for (IMO) the correct hood striping.

I agree with everyone that it appears to be over priced based upon the limited photos and information, also there's the question if it's a Fastback or Mach 1. As pointed out, to be original the hood wouldn't have the high gloss that one has. I had the black portion of my hood painted hot rod black which is a matte black, looked perfect but as I was polishing my car I accidently polished a portion of the black paint which left that portion with more of a sheen the rest. To make it look right even I ended up polishing the whole thing to the same sheen. It now has more of a sheen than it should have but it's far from being semi-gloss or gloss as that one it. Of course there isn't anything wrong with the gloss black, you just can't say it's original.

I'd want to see detailed pictures of the underneath, I'd need to see the vin, details of the third member, interior condition, etc. How do we know that it's not a daily driver with a coat of paint?

The way I understand it is there should be no paint, gloss or flat black. it should be the flat matte stickers.:-/
