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.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.
