I was wondering if this battery is still useable?

Seems to be, but as it is quite old, take it to your auto parts store and have them load test it. You can show decent volts at the post, but under load it can shit the bed.

That being said, I just pulled my sight window battery out of the Cobra this year. It was the original with no issues. Just making some room for a new Motorcraft

We'll have a video about that in the near future.

I have a load tester but I'm going to put the original on the shelf and just get a new Motorcraft battery. The Shelby has the original battery too and that's going to be 7 years old. They both run well but I don't want to be stranded one day.
