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.

Ford 'working very hard' on F-150 hybrid

Thu, Dec 4 2014

The lighter, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 gets (at best) 26 miles per gallon. That's not bad for a truck that size – and we should always remember that improving gas guzzlers can make a big difference – but what if the popular truck came with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain? How efficient would that be? We heard Ford talking about such a vehicle last year, and now we learn that Ford is still "working very hard" to make a F-150 hybrid happen. You want details? Well, we all want details, but those will not be coming for quite some time. Last year, Ford's global product development chief, Raj Nair, said that the company was planning to have hybrid pickups and hybrid SUVs on sale by 2020. With fuel prices dropping, Nair is now saying that a hybrid F-150 makes more sense, financially, than a diesel, but Ford could make both options available, depending on customer demand. The diesel wouldn't require all that much work, Nair said, since "we've got diesels in the portfolio." To date, the only hybrid F-150s we've seen have been conversions, often PHEVs, like this example from HVET or this one from Quantum. Pickup trucks from other manufacturers haven't been greeted with huge sales numbers. General Motors stopped making its big two-mode hybrids and cancelled the next-gen program.

Ford dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus

Fri, Feb 6 2015

James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.

Ford recalls 200,000 vehicles for brake lights that won't turn off

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a new recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles because their brake lights may not turn off. Drivers of affected vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may also be able to shift the vehicles out of Park even when their foot is off the brake. That increases the risk of a rollaway and could cause a crash. According to documentation posted on NHTSA's recall hub, a separated brake pedal bumper is to blame for the issue. The recall applies to "certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii." The safety regulator adds that "exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to disintegrate and separate from the brake pedal." Owners of affected vehicles should expect notification of the recall in early March. They will be directed to the dealership of their choice to have their brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers replaced free of charge. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
