2003 Ford Mustang Svt Cobra Convertible 2-door 4.6l, Dsg With Chrome Wheels. on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States

First, thank you for taking the time to examine my 2003 Dark Shadow Gray Cobra convertible. In truth this is my second go-around with one of these, and I’m not prepared to state it’ll be my last. :) It helps to have a great friend who owns Maximum Velocity Performance in San Antonio. Too bad I never let Tracy modify the engine! Please note I’ve not been one to beat on my cars, and I purchased this convertible as a cruiser, if you will. I guess with middle-age does come some wisdom!
So…to the nuts-and-bolts of the auction. If one is looking at a 2003 Cobra then it’s usually safe to say that he or she already knows about the options and specifics. The car does have factory chrome wheels which are neither rashed nor peeling. It will also come with the regular floor mats as well as the Cobra-Embroidered show-mats. Beyond that it’s about condition and history…
I purchased the car in September of 2010 with 17,307 miles after hiring an outside inspection company to put the car on a lift and examine it. The car currently sits with only 41k miles, as until recently I lived two blocks from work. With a promotion came a commute and these cars can be harsh to drive in rush-hour traffic. I’ve elected to purchase a more comfortable SHO and I don’t have enough free time to enjoy a second car. History of the Cobra shows it has never been in an accident.
If I forget some details please do not hesitate to ask questions as undoubtedly I’ll leave something out.
No front license plate bracket. :)
In the nearly four years I’ve been the owner there have been no breakdowns. New brake pads and rotors were just put on this past month. A drained battery led to an inevitability amongst Cobras…the alternator was going, so it was replaced along with the battery. The TOB (Throwout Bearing) was starting to chatter so I ordered an entirely new clutch assembly from American Muscle and took the car to Maximum Velocity. Since I was taking the transmission down I’d intended on just putting the new clutch in since the car had 41k miles. The mechanic stated the clutch still had 20-30k miles left before it needed to be replaced so I just left it in the car. ***The car will come with a completely new clutch assembly still in the box as part of the sale. My gift to you.*** There are two “mods” on the car, such as they are: 1) I did go ahead and have the adjustable clutch quadrant put in when I had the transmission down. 2) The stock exhaust system was replaced with Borla Stingers, as the car needed a more pronounced note. That’s it. Never tuned, never pullied, not even a cold air intake. Beyond the sound note I wanted, the car was to retain its stock profile.
Imperfections or wear… Keeping in mind the car is in excellent mechanical working condition both under the hood and out with all possible items functioning, there are no perfect cars. I’ve made every attempt to show wear in the pictures. A little wear on the drivers seat, a paint chip on the hood, a little hazing on the headlights, a tiny nick behind the driver’s door…that’s it…normal wear for a twelve year old vehicle. New tires were put on the car when I purchased it, so while they still have some miles remaining on them, they aren’t new. Nitto 275’s are on the wheels.
If there are any questions or inquiries please do not hesitate to ask. The car is for sale locally so if my price is met the car can be sold. Thanks for looking. |

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
