If you are truly unsure of what you are looking at, there are plenty of people around the Charlotte area that can act as a second set of eyes. Why not reach out and touch some of them for assistance should your desire for the car outweigh the warnings posted above.

Also, the VIN as posted above decodes as follows: 6T08L252590

6=1966 model year
T= Metuchen, NJ assembly plant (sorry, no Cobras were ever built there)
08=convertible body style
L=Sorry, invalid engine code as Ford did not use the letter "L" in 1966 in any Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Truck line
252590=If this was a valid Ford VIN it would register as the 152589th car off the assembly line for the 1966 model year


Again, this VIN does not belong on an original Cobra...........
