For your consideration is my 96 Mystic Cobra. I am the second owner as far as I know and I purchased it in 2002. I only drive it about 500 miles a year now, so it's time for another toy. The car is in great shape to be 17 years old and 51,500 miles. It has numerous mods, and is a blast to drive, as well as smoke most every new car that tries you, including the new 2014 Cobra. I have installed 2003-04 Cobra seats with the hard to find Black suede inserts, 04 pedals, and shift knob (for a 5-speed). Also it has new carpet, and a new rug in the trunk. The supercharger was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago at Vortech due to a leaking seal, and I had them replace all bearings and do an overhaul since I had it out. You are welcome to the receipt for that work. I also have the certificates from Ford listing the Cobra build number as well as the Mystic build number. The engine has never had work done, never even had the valve covers off, and is stock to the throttle body. I did change the mass air and fuel injectors to supplement the blower. The heat blows hot and the AC blows cold, all windows work, and door locks. The exterior was repainted before I bought the car, the story being that the previous owners son had went into a field through a barbed wire fence and the wire scratched car over the hood and roof. The lower radiator support is bent a little from this I suspect, because it has never been wrecked while I have owned it, and all body panels have the original VIN stickers from the factory. The car has some scratches on the front valence from dragging into a parking lot, and a 4 inch scratch on rear valence from I have no idea. Also, the side skirts have some wear from people getting in and out, and there is a dime sized door ding on drivers door above handle. One of the wheels is dinged about 6 inches on the outer rim. Those things plus some rock chips are the only cosmetic imperfections. The other bad is the check engine light is on, and I believe it to be an oxygen sensor, nothing serious, maybe a 30 dollar repair. I will try to fix before auction closes, or it could just be due to the cats being removed. Doesn't affect performance either way. The car is tuned with an SCT flip chip, meaning it has a setting for passing emissions testing if you are in one of those areas, or the performance version for a few more horses with the cats off. The car dyno'd at 477 RWHP at Mustang Muscle in St. Louis in 2010. I will also consider trading for a Harley Davidson V-Rod, or old hot rod from the 60's or truck from the 40-50's. No overseas buyers please, no one with less than 5 feedback, and if you have a check it must clear my bank before car exchanges hands. No warranty written or implied, car as is where is. Thank you for looking, and have a great day.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
