Hey guys,
I have come to the difficult decision to sell my Cobra project car.
Here is your chance to own and finish one of the most radical Cobra's out there for pennies on the dollar! You can continue what I have started or it is at a good stage to take it to another level or a different direction if you wish.
This is my 15,000 mile black 2004 Cobra that doesn't have a scratch on it. It has been disassembled in my garage. Engine is out and seats are out. Suspension needs to be reassembled, driveline needs reassembly, engine and transmission need to be mated and re-installed. It's not going to go back together in a weekend but all in all, it's pretty basic assembly left to do to get it running again. To do it right, there will be some minor fabrication involved in mounting the air compressor tank, etc. but not anything someone on here can’t handle.
Unless I am forgetting something, it only needs the following parts to be complete:
- hood ($300-$700)
- front L & R fenders ($400-$800)
- clutch and flywheel ($300-$1000)
So, minus labor, this car could be complete for probably $1000 to $3000.
For those that don't know the car, by now you are asking so why $25k for a Cobra that has to be put back together? Because this car includes over $36,000 in documented parts and over $14,000 in custom installations!!!! This car has numerous one-off, unique parts and modifications. Here are some of the highlights of the vehicle:
- has a 17” monitor where the back seat used to be, all flushed in
- has 2 monitors fit into the side windows of the car that cannot be seen (from the inside or the outside) until they are turned on
- Alpine DVD headunit with Alpine navigation, JL Audio sub and amplifier, top of the line Boston Acoustics speakers, etc.
- has a trick, swing-out fuel door operated from the key fob (different than one seen in close-up picture)
- has an air suspension system that will drop it low or raise it 5” to clear speed bumps. And the suspension was designed for handling, not just looks
- has a hidden XBOX and a separate audio/video system in the trunk to play at car shows
- has a lighted SVT sign under the trunk lid
- the entire chassis has been stiffened and modified for performance
- the IRS has been strengthened with every product available including level 5 half-shafts. I built this car with the intention of 700-1000hp.
- it has a full compliment of high end Autometer gauges that are LED lit and change colors with an included controller. You can change out gauges by simply plugging in the new one.
- has over $5000 in wheels and tires. The wheels are 3 piece forged wheels. The wheels can be narrowed or widened anytime by bolting on new inner/outer wheel lips. The tires are the stickiest available in a handling tire and are what come on Porsches
- rear fender lips have been rolled
- black powdercoated engine and suspension front and rear
- car starts by pushing a button, not by turning the key and has a Viper alarm system
- full Bassani exhaust, Maximum Motorsports front end, upgraded brake rotors and pads, all rubber bushings throughout the car replaced with urethane, etc,. etc., etc.
Even if you could care less for any of the audio/video or cosmetic upgrades, this car still has over $19k in performance/handling parts and you could sell the audio/video stuff. I will consider imaginative counter offers and will consider parting the car out if no one wants to buy the entire package. I could make more money this way but don't want to do the work involved in parting it out unless I have no other option.
I will sell the car with all the following parts shown in the list for $25,000.
Below there is also a list that contains over $6000 in additional brand new, never installed parts that I will sell to the car buyer for an additional $4000.
Should also mention that this car has a full factory warranty till 2010 through Ford and a warranty on all the audio-video work till 2010 through Tweeter!
To make the deal even sweeter, I called Ford and my current loan on the car is assumable!!! I have ~$13,000 left to pay on the car loan which is a 0% interest loan!! Then you would only need another $12-16k in cash.
I have tons of pics of this car, just ask and I will try to post them. Also please PM me or call me for details as there is a lot to know about this vehicle. I promise you there is nothing wrong with this car, it is flawless with all the right upgrades. I have been asked by some why the hood and fenders are missing. I was going to go with a custom hood and custom front fenders and splitter from tiger-racing.com so had sold those parts after I took them off. I am building a 1992 LX and cannot afford to finish both so the Cobra has to go. This car is a steal for the right guy. And yes, I really did spend this much on the car :-(
The car is located in New Lenox, IL.
