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.

Autoblog Video: Looking back on the 1965 Shelby GT350

Mon, Aug 17 2015

The first Shelby GT350 Mustang came out a year after the first Ford Mustang, a collaboration between the carmaker and Carroll Shelby bent on making the Mustang a race winner. Perhaps even better than the car is Shelby's story behind its creation, when Ford chairman Lee Iaccoca gave him the "impossible job" of turning "a secretary's car... into a sports car." Shelby and his cohorts got that job done immediately, taking three SCCA B-Class national championships. The latest Ford Shelby GT350 is coming a year after the latest Mustang's debut, and it's certainly got the specs on paper to look like a track monster, especially in GT350R form. This year the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350 Mustang, and the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance featured the car in a special category. We took the opportunity to look at what makes the old GT350 so special, and why the new one stays true to the legendary name. Check it out in the video above. Related Video:

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
