*OFF THE MARKET, THANKS FOLKS!*

Alright folks, i'm looking to go a different direction so i'm posting up the Cobra. This isnt a "must sell", but i'm ready to move on. I've had the car since September 2013. Always garaged, never seen winter weather, salty roads, or snow of any sort since I had it. I havent had it on any tracks, just a fun cruiser.

Previous owner had the car for 7 years, and did 99% of the work to it. I have put new BFG KDW II's on the rear, a Ford alternator, and resealed the diff since owning it.

Basic rundown of the mods completed by the previous owner, with all paperwork to back it up. I have a 3 ring binder full of documents.

MMR 900 built motor
2.76 blower pulley and metco idlers
2# lower pulley
Liberty 26 spine transmission input shaft
Zone 5 Modified FPDM
Ford GT Fuel pumps
60lb Injectors
Bassani Offroad X-pipe with Magnaflow cat-back (I have the factory h-pipe too)
Autometer Wideband O2 and steering column gauge pod
Spec Stage 3+ clutch
Solid IRS bushings with IRS Brace
Subframe Connectors
18" Replica Cobra wheels, 9" up front and 10.5" rear
Steeda Tri-ax shifter

Tuned with SCT XCal 2 and put down 492hp/502tq, with dyno graphs. The PO claimed they backed the tune down after the dyno, and I have had it on the dyno to verify it is sitting at 451hp. I suspect just a bit of timing would have it right back up around 500.

The front bumper cover does have a few rock dings, but with a clean wash you cannot tell until you are very close. A respray on the hood and bumper cover would make this a very very clean car. I get lots of looks and compliments any time I take it out!

These photos are after a good friend did a top to bottom detail and paint restoration. He is the best of the best, does all of the high-end exotics here in town and really knows his stuff.

I had forgotten that the carfax shows a lemon buyback. The car was bought back by ford due to motor/trans problems. Previous owner bought the car with a reman motor, and had a new clutch put in.

Being that the PO had the car for 7 years, and it now has an aftermarket built motor, clutch, and reworked trans, it was a non-issue to me. The title appears to be a typical title, nothing denoting salvage or anything of the sort. Car runs like a top!

I've got a 91 Bimini Blue notch that is super clean with minor mods. If you're interested let me know, maybe we can work something out.

It has LiveWires, Screamin' Demon coil, 5.0 Dyna-module (all from Performance Distributors), pulleys, smog pump delete, SVE 130 amp alt. w/#4 charging wire upgrade, Edelbrock high flow water pump, BBK shortys, o/r h-pipe, SLP Loudmouth I, Hurst shifter, Steeda billet quadrant, new clutch cable w/firewall adjuster. It still has the Pony rims but it has Good Year Eagles, 245/50, the fattest tires you can get on a 7" rim. One of the po's put in a very mild cam. It still has stock heads & intake. Who the hell would put in just a cam?! When I got it, there was just a bit of burble and I thought it just had a dirty mass air meter, throttle body or possibly the tps voltage was off a bit. Well it's none of those, I even checked the iat. I've had a couple other foxes that were stock also and they started to fall off at 5200-5300. This pulls up to 5700 before it starts to nose over. While putting on the Edelbrock water pump, my brother noted that the gasket between the timing cover and face of the block wasn't stock. So that convinced me the cam wasn't original. I can still get 22 mpg on the highway at 70 mph. I replaced the fan (they are notorious for cracking with age) and put on a new over flow tank (broken mounting tab). I also put in a Flaming River steering shaft. The fuel pump went out so I put in a Walbro 255 lph. Over kill right? Works great though. I also put on polyurethane motor mounts and transmission mounts. I don't have permission to attach a pic so if you want to see it give me an e-mail. The car came from Florida, spent a couple years in Ohio and that is where I got it from. I've owned it for a little over 3 years.
