SOLD

I got a 2015 Mustang GT, so its time to move on from my beloved Cobra.

2003 Cobra coupe, Redfire, medium graphite seat inserts
Asking $18,500 - No trades
I have the clean title
55,7xx miles

I’m the fourth owner, but the previous four were the original owner, his friend, and the friend’s son. I bought it from the friend’s son in Augusta.

After I bought the car, I noticed a humming from the rear end, so I had Kurgan Motorsports rebuild it with 3.73’s at which point they also loaded a mild tune, which of course also corrected the speedo/gear ratio. I do not have a tuner, so if doing further mods you would either have to go do Kurgan’s to get the stock tune restored or have Ford do it. Car still has the stock pulley and to my knowledge it’s never had an aftermarket pulley. I have all records since I got it, plus the Ford Oasis report from when I bought it.

The car does exhibit what sounds like the classic Cobra head tick. It’s done it since I bought it with 35k miles, no worse no better. But overall it is great mechanically, does not burn oil, no leaks, etc. "I would drive it anywhere.”
  • Stock pulley
  • Steeda intake
  • Mild tune from Kurgan Motorsports
  • Stock clutch, throw out bearing replaced at about 45k and at that point the clutch had tons of material left so I put it back in, flywheel looked great.
  • Fiore firewall clutch cable adjuster and quadrant
  • MGW shifter
  • 3.73 rear end rebuilt by Kurgan Motorsports at 35k
  • Billetflow IRS brace
  • FR500 anthracite 18x9/10 wheels, 275/35/18 BFG Sport Comp 2 front, 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport
  • 20% window tint
  • Eibach springs front, cut stock in rear. Eibachs are supposed to be for 99 - 01 Cobra but work great in the front. Original owner had them in the rear, but it was way too high. Front camber is adjusted via Eibach cam bolts. Camber plates were on my long term to-do list.
  • MAC catback with Magnaflow mufflers welded in
  • Some paint chips on front bumper and rocker panels
  • Brand new electric fan (original one cracked a blade)
  • Ford alternator with a few thousand miles
  • New intercooler pump
  • Third brake light was cracked by an errant tennis ball and was repaired via black vinyl sticker
  • Apple input using Sat function, the older large connector.
  • Parts included: Ford alternator with about 7k miles, original 3.55 gears, shift knob with some wear, rear Eibachs that match the fronts (for 99-01 Cobra), original airbox, supercharger guard.

Good looking car - be careful. I sold my 2004 cobra for a custom ordered 2015 Mustang GT PP, had every single option available, I had custom wheels on it (that are now a package you can buy on LMR :D )



And 7 months later I realized the car just had no 'personality', so I sold it and went back to a 2003 cobra. Couldnt be Happier.

Haha, I know man, I remember when your 2015 came up for sale. I'm over 40 now and I've had a foxbody, Mach and Terminator and I'm really ready for the smoother driving experience, light clutch, creature comforts, etc of the newer car. That being said if I had the garage space I would keep this car, no question.

That's my delima as well! Love the Terminator but I'm at a point in my life where my toy needs to be newer with all the new tech available in new cars

Yeah I was looking at aftermarket radios to get bluetooth and all that, if I was going to keep it. The technology in the new car is amazing, but you do lose the rawness and connectedness of the Terminator.
