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.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013



It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
