You're looking at Cobra #2999 built in 1996.  I purchased the car in January 2009 with 91k miles, bone stock.  Immediately I had the car repainted in the factory color, Laser Red.  Since then the car has not seen rain or snow.  This has not been my daily driver, but rather a toy I use far too little.  I feel bad putting miles on it, and I feel bad looking at my money sitting there.


I have invested better than $9,000 into this car on top of the purchase price.  This is an abbreviated list of modifications (for your sake), but everything major is listed.

Performance
-ZEX Wet Nitrous Kit (75-150 Shot), Window Switch, Bottle Heater, Dual Purge
-JLT Cold Air Intake
-Flowtech Long Tube Headers/Off-Road X-Pipe
-MAC Cat-Back Exhaust
-SCT SF3/X3 w/Tunes
-Steeda Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter
-FRPP 4.10 Gears
-Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
-BfGoodrich "Flame Pattern" tires - 295's

Cosmetics
-18" FR500 Wheels, Cobra R Centercaps
-Tinted BOI Headlights, Tinted Factory Tails/Fogs
-12k HID's
-Roush Recaro Heated/Cooled Seats
-GlowShift Tinted Digital Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, and Nitrous Pressure Gauges
-7" Flip-Out Touch Screen DVD Player
-Infinity Speakers

I have also installed several other "tune-up" items including new plugs & wires, radiator, thermostat, battery, brake pads, fuel filter, etc.  I have cared for this car meticulously, waxing atleast 3 times per year and changing the oil every 3,000 miles.  Maintenance is documented since 2009.  Despite the fact the car puts down 300 rwhp N/A and 450 rwhp on a 150 shot, this is absolutely the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.  I've driven it to Chicago and back a few times (10 hours round trip) and never had a hiccup.  You could hop in today and drive to California.  Very tame and easy to drive for what it is.

There are a few minor things that need attention.  Rest assured, I am always 100% up-front when selling a vehicle.  These are all the things that keep this car from being 100% flawless.

-The Air Conditioning hasn't blown cold since shortly after I bought the car.  I assume it just needs recharged, but haven't bothered since I wouldn't use it either way.
-The driver's seat motor was burnt out when I purchased the car.  I used the stock tracks when installing the new seats, so essentially the driver's seat is "stuck" all the way back.  I'm just shy of 6' and it's nearly perfect.  Installing a manual seat track would fix this, although it is possible to push the seat forward and put something behind it to keep it there.  Like the air conditioning, it doesn't bother me so I haven't bothered fixing it.
-There are some light spiderwebs on the rear bumper in about a 3-4" circle that are nearly impossible to see.  I tried to take a picture but the camera couldn't pick it up. Still, I thought I should mention it.  Make no mistake, this car looks flawless up close and far away.

All things considered, 8,100 is an absolute steal.  I hate to see it go but I don't drive it enough and I need a new truck.

If you have any questions call or text 419-236-2892.  Leave a message if I don't answer.

I am not willing to ship --- local pickup only.  Listing may end at any time due to several other listings.

GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way

Tue, Apr 7 2015

We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:
