Hey guys, back in 1993 my grandfather owned a small trucking company in southern West Virginia, eat up with lung cancer not knowing how much longer he would make it, he purchased me and my cousin both a vehicle for our first cars, Me being only 2 years of age in 1993, a Cobra was the car i received. Fast Forward into 1998 he finally passed, he built a garage for the car and the car was only started about once a month up until I turned 15. On my 15th birthday after I got my learned, I started to drive this car that only had 517 miles on it...Yes, in 2006 i possibly had the lowest mileage 93 Cobra in the country (I kick myself in the ass over that too)...The car was demonized to me by my grandmother, who wouldn't let me have the car if i lived with my mom, the only way I was able to have the car was if i done as she wished and lived with her or my dad, It became so bad that I didn't want anything to do with the car or them. Moving on into 2009, I turned 18 and finally got the car signed over to me, out of pure spite I listed that car on the internet for sale for $7500, it had 24k mile when it was sold near Lexington KY. On May 30, 2015 The car was listed on Copart.com as a Clean Title car with 32k miles and the trail goes cold after that. I would really like to find this car, I probably will never have the money to buy it again, but it would be nice to see if anyone has kept the car in decent shape. Here are the pictures listed on Coparts site during the auction. The Vin Number is 1FACP42D2PF201461, the car had an Xpipe, SLP Loudmouths, Five Lug swap with oe rep bullet wheels, interior was stock. It didn't have the air filter on it when I owned it, guessing the next owner put that on.

Why was it on copart?

Isn’t that an insurance salvage site?
I was thinking the same thing, but i checked their site, im guessing they sell a little of everything, when I first looked up the vin this year i didnt buy a full report and thought it was wrecked but it hadn't been so says the carfax.
