My Cobra is powered by the original 305 horsepower version of the 4.6-liter V-8 with 32 valve overhead cam motor. The car has never been driver in the rain or snow. I am the 2nd owner, the 1st owner is my bother in law who only put 6200 miles on it for its 1st 8 years. Currently is has 30,700 miles. It is number 1873 of 3480 made and 1 of 979 triple black convertibles made. In 2006 through 2008 I upgraded and replaced the following

·         Steeda Caster Camber Plates

·         Ford Motor Sport Springs

·         Jack Roush Shocks and Struts

·         New Ford Motor Sport plugs and plug wires

·         Cobra grill emblem

·         BF Goodrich G Force tires 255 40ZR17

·         New Ford Motor Sport Clutch and Pressure Plate (two years and less than 500 miles)

All original parts will be supplied with the car, even the original tires if you want.

The Cobra has a clean Carfax however, it does indicate a mileage inconsistency. This is due to an incorrect entry by the smog check technician into the computer system. The hand written copy from Smog Stop shows the odometer reading at 30,146 which is correct. The technician unfortunately typed the mileage as 60,146 miles on the Smog Check Vehicle Inspection Report. This wasn’t realized at the time.

The car was stolen on 3/19/2013 and recovered on 3/21/2013. The list of items replaced include:

·         Keyless Entry Module

·         AB Switch assembly direction indicator

·         Cup Holder

·         Switch plates on both doors

·         Lower trim panel under the steering column

·         All of the trunk panels

The only article still missing is the boot for the convertible top. Both the front and rear bumpers were removed and painted.

The cars paint is a #1 with only a very small blemish, less than 1/8” round on the trunk lid. The right side skirt does not fit flush. The interior is in very good conduction and has never been smoked in. The car drives very very good. It has not been driver for the past three years as I am now an owner of a 2012 Boss 302 LS that takes up my free time. So if you want a very good and clean SVT COBRA this is it.

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 Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
