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. |

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals
Thu, Apr 12 2018DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.
Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
