[2003RedfireVert]

Thanks for the add. I have been off forums for a while but with social media being what it is, I decided to come back to forum environment. I bought my cobra in January 2021, before the market got crazy. I paid 20k. This is my dream car! I’ve had a 2001 GT and 1987 2V swapped fox. I’m thankful to be in a financial situation to have my dream car. 72K miles (bought it with 69K). Previous owner put in 10th anniversary seats and I love them!

Mods: 2.76 upper, Steggie ported Eaton, snub idler, JLT, lFP HE, x pipe, Borla stinger, Tri Ax, H&R race springs, R888s, yada yada. It made 470w on a 2.8 upper, non ported. Not sure where it’s at now. Probably low 500s.

I’m planning on getting AFS chrome wheels. I also plan on a whipple or VMP down the road. 650-700w street car. Glad to be here.

Nice vert and I like the parchment top with the redfire. Welcome.

Nice vert and I like the parchment top with the redfire. Welcome.

The top is in pretty good shape thankfully. These Cobra tops are a lot nicer than the vinyl tops. I did have to replace the cylinders but no big deal.

 

[SID297]

Yep, the cloth tops are far superior to the earlier vinyl ones.

Steigmeier is local to me so I had him port and rebuild the blower. Dyno sheet from the original setup I bought it with (2.8 pulley). Shot from the All Fords Show here in STL.

Welcome back! Very nice Redfire convertible. Man, you surely did buy it under the wire. LOL. You couldn't touch it for $20K today. Enjoy it!!

 

[Chrome98Cobra]

Welcome back, the car looks great.

I can't picture red fire with 10th anniversary seats. But sounds cool.

welcome & nice Redfire!

It actually looks decent. Most people think it’s a 10th anniversary model. It matches pretty well. I added the red door inserts to match. I like it. The seats are awesome.

You have a nice trio of cars there.

After buying this car I didn’t realize how undesirable the redfire seems to be. I get why my specific combo is less desirable being a tan Vert but the redfire itself is a very nice color.

I never really thought much of Redfire until i saw it in person. Once i did, fell in love with the color. Maybe that's the case for most people?

Thanks!

Redfire really is an amazing color. Especially out in the sun. Definitely a underrated color in my opinion.

OP, did you have a previous user name here? No issues, just curious.

I have not been a member on this specific forum. I was on AFM, moddedmustang, coral, etc 10ish years ago.
