1978 FORD COBRA HARDTOP

$121,000 LLOYDS AUCTIONS

GOTTA LOVE a good flamboyant 1970s car, and they don't come a whole lot more so than a Ford Falcon Cobra Coupe.

This XC had a lot of the options boxes ticked when it was ordered from the dealer, so it has air-conditioning, power steering and power windows.

Under the bonnet there's a 302 with auto. All up, that sounds like a nice cruiser.

These may not have been a pinnacle hero car like a Phase III, but the steady rise of other Aussie icons has dragged these along in their wake.
