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.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
