First, thank you for taking the time to examine my 2003 Dark Shadow Gray Cobra convertible. In truth this is my second go-around with one of these, and I’m not prepared to state it’ll be my last. :) It helps to have a great friend who owns Maximum Velocity Performance in San Antonio. Too bad I never let Tracy modify the engine! Please note I’ve not been one to beat on my cars, and I purchased this convertible as a cruiser, if you will. I guess with middle-age does come some wisdom!
So…to the nuts-and-bolts of the auction. If one is looking at a 2003 Cobra then it’s usually safe to say that he or she already knows about the options and specifics. The car does have factory chrome wheels which are neither rashed nor peeling. It will also come with the regular floor mats as well as the Cobra-Embroidered show-mats. Beyond that it’s about condition and history…
I purchased the car in September of 2010 with 17,307 miles after hiring an outside inspection company to put the car on a lift and examine it. The car currently sits with only 41k miles, as until recently I lived two blocks from work. With a promotion came a commute and these cars can be harsh to drive in rush-hour traffic. I’ve elected to purchase a more comfortable SHO and I don’t have enough free time to enjoy a second car. History of the Cobra shows it has never been in an accident.
If I forget some details please do not hesitate to ask questions as undoubtedly I’ll leave something out.
No front license plate bracket. :)
In the nearly four years I’ve been the owner there have been no breakdowns. New brake pads and rotors were just put on this past month. A drained battery led to an inevitability amongst Cobras…the alternator was going, so it was replaced along with the battery. The TOB (Throwout Bearing) was starting to chatter so I ordered an entirely new clutch assembly from American Muscle and took the car to Maximum Velocity. Since I was taking the transmission down I’d intended on just putting the new clutch in since the car had 41k miles. The mechanic stated the clutch still had 20-30k miles left before it needed to be replaced so I just left it in the car. ***The car will come with a completely new clutch assembly still in the box as part of the sale. My gift to you.*** There are two “mods” on the car, such as they are: 1) I did go ahead and have the adjustable clutch quadrant put in when I had the transmission down. 2) The stock exhaust system was replaced with Borla Stingers, as the car needed a more pronounced note. That’s it. Never tuned, never pullied, not even a cold air intake. Beyond the sound note I wanted, the car was to retain its stock profile.
Imperfections or wear… Keeping in mind the car is in excellent mechanical working condition both under the hood and out with all possible items functioning, there are no perfect cars. I’ve made every attempt to show wear in the pictures. A little wear on the drivers seat, a paint chip on the hood, a little hazing on the headlights, a tiny nick behind the driver’s door…that’s it…normal wear for a twelve year old vehicle. New tires were put on the car when I purchased it, so while they still have some miles remaining on them, they aren’t new. Nitto 275’s are on the wheels.
If there are any questions or inquiries please do not hesitate to ask. The car is for sale locally so if my price is met the car can be sold. Thanks for looking. |

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

V8-powered 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor R spied testing alongside Ram TRX
Wed, Apr 7 2021Spy photographers captured Ford engineers testing what appears to be a 2022 F-150 Raptor R alongside a Ram TRX this week, giving us a sneak preview of the first major battle in the coming war for super-pickup dominance. Ford has remained tight-lipped about the Raptor R's performance specs. We know only that it will be powered by a V8 (likely a variant of the 760-horsepower, supercharged 5.2-liter unit from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500), and that it's due to break cover some time later this year. Given that the 702-horsepower Ram TRX will be the Raptor R's only competition (and pretty much the only reason it exists in the first place), Ford's decision to benchmark the fast Ram is a bit of a no-brainer. The Blue Oval's performance engineers have years of practice when it comes to building high-performance off-road trucks, so despite Ram's first-strike advantage and Hellcat trump card, the TRX might actually be the underdog in this fight. Why? Well, based on what we've seen of the EcoBoost-powered 2021 Raptor so far, it should weigh at least 500-600 pounds less than the TRX, and while we expect that gap to shrink with the addition of the bigger engine, it's likely that it will still favor Ford, and perhaps significantly. While the larger, supercharged V8 will certainly weigh more than the EcoBoost V6, it's still an all-aluminum engine (all SRT motors are based on cast-iron blocks) and Ford still has the advantage of its lightweight body panels. There will likely be more to the Raptor R's chassis modifications than a new set of engine mounting points, since the existing Raptor was not engineered to handle an 800-horsepower engine, but even with the chassis modifications necessary to handle that power, we expect the Raptor R to be the featherweight of the two. Since Ford plans to get the Raptor R into production for the 2022 model year, we shouldn't have to wait much longer to find out just exactly how it shapes up against Ram's big dinosaur.
