I bought this car about 2 months off of a fellow SVT member and now I'm more or less forced to sell. Well, not really, but I could use the cash for a new condo. I'm only 25 but I've sold many cars online and am very honest with all my ads on these forums. Anyway, here goes. Oh and I will post pictures sometime soon but it's just a black cobra, gray suede inserts, 3 gauge pillar on the side, some interior leds and chrome fr500s with some nice meat.
EXTERIOR: 9/10 (Has one imperfection on the hood that was touched up ~somewhat. About the size of 1/2 dime?)
*17" Chrome FR500s. They do have some curbrash but not visible unless you're really up close. I think because there's chrome under the chrome. *Nitto tires all around. The rears (315s) are about 1-2 months old with way under 2,000 miles on them.
*Mcguard wheel locks.
*SS COBRA lettering on the rear bumper.
INTERIOR: 9.5/10 ( Gauge pillar a little off)
*Raptor shift light
*3 gauge pillar (autometer boost gauge, narrowband a/f and water temp). The water temp gauge is not hooked up. I have no idea how to do it.
*Footwell lighting mod
*Aftermarket shift knob (cobra emblem)
EXHAUST:
*Magnoflow catted x pipe
*Borla catback
*New 02 sensors installed in 2006
ENGINE,etc:
*JLT Breather
*JLT Intake
*LDC Cooling Mod
*Tuned by HERMANN
*3.3 upper pulley
*Metco 8# lower pulley
*Optima Red top battery
*NGK spark plugs
*KB BAP
*Aftermarket heat exchanger (reads COBRA)
*Aftermarket I/C tank ( I believe its from LP)
*Performane alternator
*Steig ported and welded Tb and plenum
SUSPENSION:
*H&R springs
*KB Brace
*Maximum Motorsports full length sub frame connectors
BRAKES:
*BREMBO rear rotors
*Russell SS brake lines
MISC:
*MGW Shifter
*COBRAROB gasket
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things but that's the jist of it. The body has 45,500 miles on it give or take a few hundred miles. The motor was replaced by FORD in 2006 at the 29,000 mile mark so it has just under 17,000 miles on the motor. Motor sounds healthy.
Here are the known issues. The intercooler pump needs to be replaced as it sometimes stops working. Blue Oval carries them for $129. The lower pulley should also be replaced. When I bought the car, I brought it to two well known shops because I was worried about the lower pulley wobbling. I think I was paranoid after reading all the posts on here. They said it was fine the way it was and I could continue building power if I wanted to. They also suggested that if I felt more comfortable I could replace the hub and ring for $240. The belt squeaks once in a while ($40). The mechanic also noticed that the car only has a single hook clutch quadrant and recommended I switch to a double hook. ($70 I think).
The last known issue is that the car had failed MA emissions due to all the system monitors being turned off in the tune. If you were to stick with the current tune and have emission testing, you'd have to go back to the stock tune for each inspection.
The car dyno'd at 437hp and I believe 450 tq. The tuner said that I should be seeing an additional 10-15hp & tq but had heat issues. He said the tune was safe.
I will only have the car for sale for a few days probably. If I do not see any strong interest this weekend, I will be ordering the following parts
SCT x3 tuner, Metco hub and 4# lower, possibly an upper, new belt, new clutch quadrant and get a new tune. HERMANN's tune states that it will work with any pulley set up but I feel more comfortable re-doing it and he said I could come close to 480hp. Anyway all this will cost me quite a bit of money so if it stay on the market, the price will go up and stay firm.

Price : $19,750. I'm losing a few thousand which sucks for owning the car for only a few months but what can you do.
