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.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
