[QUOTE="soccerman002, post: 15525456, member: 86800"] Figured I would bring this back from the dead to do an update. I never did get around to pulling the motor or doing any further diagnostic work - life just gets in the way and it seemed like every time I would get motivated, something would come up. The less I drove it, the less I missed driving it. I officially put it up for sale to sell as-is last weekend, got a few hits on it, and ended up selling it this past Friday to a younger guy who said he's got a family full of mechanics that he could rely on to do a proper diagnosis. I got $8k for it, which I thought was pretty good. He texted me this morning and said it was a failed lifter on the passenger side. With that said, everything else on the car was pretty much brand new - suspension, brakes, lots of interior parts, exterior paint work, etc., so I feel like he's got a great platform. I ended up taking the money from the sale of the Cobra, plus trade-in on my '08 Ram 1500, and picked up a '17 Honda Ridgeline over the weekend. It's great for what I need at this point in my life, and I know at some point down the road I'll have another project/weekend car. Pic of the car right before the new owner came by and got it (Dodge that I traded is in the background on the street): [ATTACH=full]82384[/ATTACH] And a shot of the Ridgeline on Saturday afternoon after I got it home: [ATTACH=full]82385[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
