This mint, showroom condition 2001 Zinc Yellow Cobra convertible has ONLY 3,872 miles !  This is one of only 316 Zinc Yellow convertibles built in 2001 and is build #1812 out of a total of 3,384 cobras produced in 2001.  It is completely stock with the only three options offered; 17" polished aluminum wheels, front floor mats, and the rear single wing spoiler.  It comes with the standard convertible boot.  The car has always been garaged and has never been driven in either rain or snow.  This is strictly a Sunday driver.  It looks and drives as if it just came off the truck.  It is perfect in every way; no chips, no dings, no dents - looks brand new.  The engine still has the original chalk marks.  I have several original build sheets, all the SVT paperwork, all the original window stickers, along with the history of its build.  The interior is charcoal grey with leather-trimmed front sport seats with Alcantara inserts.  

The 32-valve, 4.6 L, 281-cube V8 engine is rated at 320hp.  It has an aluminum block with a forged-steel crank.  The engine's aluminum alloy pistons have shallow skirts and a special friction-reducing coating on their surfaces; the compression ratio is 9.85:1.  The intake system begins with the throttle body which is made up of twin 57 mm bores; next in line is an 80 mm mass air sensor.  The tumble port cylinder head valve sizes are 37 mm on intake and 30 mm on exhaust.  The engine employs a distributorless, coil-on-plug ignition system.  The engine is hand-assembled at Ford's Romeo, Michigan engine plant by two-person teams on a separate and dedicated line.  In addition, standard is all-speed traction control system(TCS) as well as IRS.

I am the original owner .  This is one of a kind.  The oil has been changed every year with synthetic Mobil 1 regardless of mileage.  You will not find a more pristine, low mileage 2001 Cobra anywhere.  The pictures really do not do justice to how it looks and runs.  The car cannot be picked up by the new owner until payment funds have been cleared or have been verified by the bank.  The car is being sold as is and with no warranty.  

The car is being sold locally. As such, I can end the auction at any time.

Please e-mail me with any questions.  Thanks for looking.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
