Hey gang,
I've been thinking about this lately and I'm just wondering if there is any interest in my 1999 Rio Red Cobra Vert. I've had the car since end the of July and it has been a blast to drive. However, after riding in a 03/04 Cobra I have decided that I'd like something from those years.
As of right now, the chassis has 70000 and the engine has about 3100 miles on it.
Here is the complete information on the beast. ENGINE (2003 Cobra Eaton Conversion) Custom Painted & Powder Coated
-Original 1999 Teksid Aluminum Block Bored .020 Over With 302ci Stroker Kit (Good For 1000hp)

-Kellogg Stroker Crank 3.70 Stroke
-Ford Performance HO Oil Pump
-Speed Pro Bearings
-Arp Head Studs
-1999 Cobra Heads(resurfaced, pressure tested, 3 angle seat cut, and valves cut and cleaned)
-Felpro Perma Torque MLS Head Gaskets
-Eaton Supercharger(Non ported)
-Stock Upper Pulley
-Metco 8lbs Lower
-Metco 3.7 Alternator Pulley
-Optima Redtop Battery
-TR6 Spark Plugs

-Stainless Steel Radiator Cover
-Polished AFCO Heat Exchanger
-New water pump
-New thermostat
INTAKE
-Densecharger Intake
-2003 Cobra MAF
EXTERIOR
-Black Bullitts with polished lip,18x9 Front,18x10 rear
-Nitto 555R Extreme ,245-40's front, 285-35 Rear
-2003 Cobra Rear Bumper with black inserts
-2003 Cobra Hood
-2003 Cobra Mirrors
-Clear Turn Signal Headlights
-Front Grille Snake Emblem
-Smoked Taillights with rear reflectors
-Custom Black Bullitt Fuel Door
-Stock spoiler moved back 3 inches
INTERIOR
-CDC Light Bar
SUSPENSION
-H&R Sport Springs
DRIVETRAIN
-Billetflow IRS Brace
-Ford Racing 4.10's
-Spec Stage 3 Clutch
-Spec Aluminum Flywheel
-MGW Blue Handle Short Throw Shifter
-LDC Chicago Clutch Free Play Kit
-Steeda Firewall Adjuster
-Steeda Quick Release Clutch Quadrant
ELECTRONICS
-SCT 6600 Chip
EXHAUST
-Bassani Mid Length Headers
-Bassani Catless X-Pipe
-MAC Catback
FUEL SYSTEM
-2003 Cobra Twin Pumps Assembly
-2003 Cobra Baffled Fuel Tank
-2003 39 lbs injectors
The rear - end had to be rebuilt because the original 4.10 gears were not installed correctly and the bolts shook loose and cracked the diff. case and bascially destroyed everything. The rear - end was completely rebuilt by Lund Motors using all new parts / bearings and also has a BF IRS brace. To be honest, the car doesn't really wheel hop when I actually decide to drive the car the way it's meant to be.
The exhaust was redone at a local muffler shop because there mismatching clamps that kept dragging. They kept the Bassani catless xpipe, but used new pipes from the headers and after the x connecting to the catback. The shop did an awesome job tucking up the whole system.
Just two weeks ago, I replaced the rear tires with 555R's, so there is at least 95% plus tread left The front tires also have at 85% tread left. Last Monday, the car developed a coolant leak which I couldn't find. I had Ford pressure test the system and they found a small crack at a T hose leading to the oil cooler which was fixed also.
Other than that, the car is running great especially with cool temps lately. I've only been in rain 3 times with the car and I immediately washed the car the next day. I also try to wash the car at least twice a week. I would say the paint is great shape considering the car is 8 years old. There are a few rock chips along the car, and there are 3 scratches along the passenger side which was there when I got the car. The interior is great shape to, just the driver's side seat shows cracks which is also expected. The vinyl top is also great shape and doesn't bubble and looks nice and black still.
I have an auto loan with Bank of America and they have title, but I'd iron out all the details to make the transfer of title as easy as possible for the buyer. The car is in storage right now in Keokuk, IA.
Edit: $19,000 obo
Thanks,
Ryan
