Today you are bidding on a Ford 1997 Mustang SVT Cobra 

Okay lets get right to it, if your looking for a Purdy $40,000+ New Mustang GT with all the options, (lets not forget thats before you bring it to PBH, Steeda, Roush and ring up another $10,000-$30,000) This car may or may not be for you.  No kid car here, I'm 50+ This Beast for sale here is raw, untamed, cross breed between yesterdays muscle cars and more recent road warriors. With performance upgrades that support each other, not just engine. The idle is so smooth, almost deceitful, tuned by Lund racing at Power By the Hour. If you have been looking for a weekend classic car for shows and cruise night, that needs the final steps, or have been looking for a road warrior, and you just feel the need, THE NEED FOR SPEED, and can live with a few imperfections this is your car(that's me till I got injured). Also the 1996-1998 has the hood with the nostrils, that I am a huge fan of.  This car is A BODY/PAINT man/woman Dream, cuz all she needs is cosmetic work. The asking price for what is included is low. You usually get what you pay for. However, in this case you get much more! You will instantly have the feeling of knowing exactly what your ride has, that normally comes from several months of tinkering and upgrading, and the paperwork (receipts) to back it up. Rust free body could be prepped and painted, or drive it like you stole it "AS IS"

 I am regularly complimented on the exhaust note of the Gods, even by people that say I'm not a Ford guy(recently that happened) but wow what a sound! Please email cobratt@live.com for any questions,. Youtube link, search 1997 sc cobra, You will thank yourself later. Full Specs Below:

However, the hood, top, and trunk lid are loosing the clear coat(see photos). Also, a month ago i was tapped in a 3 way turn, center lane driver went straight and nicked just behind the drivers door, very minor. The front of the car is a deep metallic purple that fades back into ghost flames. It is the least updated component of the car. It was next on the to do list. Other stand outs, the steering wheel leather wrap showing signs if age, and the driver power seat motors blow fuses ever so often due to age, not a problem if you are the only driver, fuses are cheap, and I was considering racing seats down the road. The engine bay could use some spit and polish. However that's about it for the to do list. Items listed as new are the most recent features, all others not to far behind. Receipts available and will go to the buyer.
Lets not forget the basics, before all the power adders. Ford ice cold A.C. that was also recently updated, and every other accessory that comes with a Cobra. Everything works. Interior great condition, no rips, cracks or problems. Oh yeah those are Cobra Golf Club Head Covers, to cover the floor ends of  Roll bar when not in use, as to not catch the bottom of your jeans. Mileage is not an issue with all the updates, Also non smoker owners always, and I am the 3rd owner. So much for those other ads that say too much to list, never understood that.

Good Luck and thx for looking, I also have shipping out of state available of needed

Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages

Mon, Mar 23 2015

This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.
