Sold my Cobra in 2017 to go to a vette and have missed the New Edge ever since. Went from a 2.9 Whipple Terminator to a 2017 C7 Grand Sport to a 2017 C7 Z06 to a 2018 GT350 to without a fun car (still had the 03 Lightning) when I had my first kid in 2019. I picked up a Lexus to put miles on since my commute was 35 minutes one way but have been working remote since march 2020 due to covid. I only put about 1800 miles on the Lexus in the last 2 years so with values up, and a permanent remote position, I decided to get rid of it and buy 2 cars cash with the proceeds. Last November I picked up a 04 Navigator for the few times I need something with a car seat and a 01 Cobra. I went with the 01 due to current prices of the 03/04's and all the parts I would be changing to make it my own, just made more sense to go with the cheaper car. Enough blabbing, lets move on to the car.
01 Cobra, Black/Parchment, just under 41K miles, 2 previous owners, only mods were--Shifter, clutch, and welded in flow masters. I drove it home from Illinois and I swear it was like going back in time 20yrs! The car has a dealer installed Webasto sunroof which I was on the fence about until I saw it in person. Paint is in great shape and the interior only had some wear on the driver bolster. Pics from the original ad below.
Once I got it home I removed the front plate bracket to see the damage to the front bumper, stripped off the purple tint and put about 100 miles on the car but damn it sucked stock! Even still had the 40ft antenna! I only bought this car for a project so it went on jack stands almost immediately.
Of course now I have a little helper...
The first round of mods had to include fix/replace some body parts, new wheels, some loud, and some low. It was so much fun deciding all the combo's I wanted to run, took me back to 2012 when I bought my 04 (it was stock when I purchased it as well). I didn't want to through a bunch of Terminator stuff at it and make it look like something it is not although there will end up being some 03/04 parts in the end.
Since December I have picked up:
03/04 side skirts
H&R sports springs
shorty antenna
MGW shifter / New knob
03/04 mirrors
Bullitt trunk lid
XXR 526's with 265/35/18 front , 315/30/18 rear
Stinger catback
Mach 1 Chin
00 Cobra R brakes
Ordered ARH Headers and x pipe in December that should ship this month
Bilstein B6 struts and B8 rear shocks
Eibach front sway bar
MM solid steering shaft and solid rack mounts
As of right now the K member is out and manifolds are off waiting on headers. Still much to do--- roll fenders, polish exhaust pipes install rear springs, etc. Dropping off the front bumper, mirrors and trunk lid next month for paint. Once it is rolling again will get it re-tinted and cleaned up. Few more pics below, I will update thread as more parts go in.
