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 dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
