My loss, somebody's gain.  I am selling a flawless 2004 SVT Cobra, aka the "Terminator".  Supercharged 4.6L.  It is the highly desirable Competition Orange, the rarest color produced and only available in 2004.  Of 3768 Cobras made in 2004, only 281 were Competition Orange.  Exterior is flawless.  No rock chips, no dings.  Beautiful, as-new clear coat.  Clean, detailed engine bay.  Turns heads everywhere I've been.  You know what this car is, and I'll skip the technical issues. I am the second owner.


Interior in VG condition.  There is some visible, normal wear to driver's seat. Carpet is excellent, but carpet "cobra mat" on driver's side shows wear.

Here's the sad but true story: I am a collector.  I purchased the car on April 20 last month, after looking for some time for an excellent condition, unmodified Comp Orange '04 Cobra.  I paid $24,900.  The price was non-negotiable by seller.  I tried to get a lower price, and I was paying cash, but no success.  So maybe I paid a high price, but it seemed in the mid-to-upper range of what these cars sell for, not taking into account the value for the rare color.  And the car looked fantastic and drove great.  It had 54,758 miles.  I drove it 350 miles to my home in Virginia, and have added another 450 miles.

Then, a little over a week ago the unexpected happened--I found a 2004 Comp Orange Cobra Convertible for sale, the rarest of the 03-04 cars.  Only 71 were made.  I've been looking for one of these, in stock condition, for some time.  I struck a deal immediately (for a higher price than my coupe).  This convertible will be delivered in two weeks, and I need to make space for it.  I have over 15 cars, and there is just no more garage space. 

I installed new OEM headlights and taillights for VA state inspection.  The car had tinted lens and would not pass VA state inspection.  Cost was around $680.  I have added a OEM license plate holder to front bumper, per VA dual-plate requirements.  

I am selling this car with a low reserve.  It is one of those opportunities to pick up a great deal because the seller (me) has to let it go.  

There are many photos, taken at locations where I have different homes.  The car is located in Luray, VA area.  The title is clean with no liens.

The fuel mileage is rated at 17 city and 24 highway, which is phenomenal considering the performance.  There is a great book--Iron Fist, Lead Foot--about the SVT team and the making of the 2003-04 Terminator.  It is a great story, and the rarity of the 2003-04 Cobras becomes very evident.  As you probably know, these engines were hand-built by teams of two people at the Romeo, MI Ford plant.  

A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours of a winning bid.  Thank you.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
