My Cobra is powered by the original 305 horsepower version of the 4.6-liter V-8 with 32 valve overhead cam motor. The car has never been driver in the rain or snow. I am the 2nd owner, the 1st owner is my bother in law who only put 6200 miles on it for its 1st 8 years. Currently is has 30,700 miles. It is number 1873 of 3480 made and 1 of 979 triple black convertibles made. In 2006 through 2008 I upgraded and replaced the following

·         Steeda Caster Camber Plates

·         Ford Motor Sport Springs

·         Jack Roush Shocks and Struts

·         New Ford Motor Sport plugs and plug wires

·         Cobra grill emblem

·         BF Goodrich G Force tires 255 40ZR17

·         New Ford Motor Sport Clutch and Pressure Plate (two years and less than 500 miles)

All original parts will be supplied with the car, even the original tires if you want.

The Cobra has a clean Carfax however, it does indicate a mileage inconsistency. This is due to an incorrect entry by the smog check technician into the computer system. The hand written copy from Smog Stop shows the odometer reading at 30,146 which is correct. The technician unfortunately typed the mileage as 60,146 miles on the Smog Check Vehicle Inspection Report. This wasn’t realized at the time.

The car was stolen on 3/19/2013 and recovered on 3/21/2013. The list of items replaced include:

·         Keyless Entry Module

·         AB Switch assembly direction indicator

·         Cup Holder

·         Switch plates on both doors

·         Lower trim panel under the steering column

·         All of the trunk panels

The only article still missing is the boot for the convertible top. Both the front and rear bumpers were removed and painted.

The cars paint is a #1 with only a very small blemish, less than 1/8” round on the trunk lid. The right side skirt does not fit flush. The interior is in very good conduction and has never been smoked in. The car drives very very good. It has not been driver for the past three years as I am now an owner of a 2012 Boss 302 LS that takes up my free time. So if you want a very good and clean SVT COBRA this is it.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
