IMAGINE YOURSELF ROLLING THROUGH SPRING AND SUMMER IN THIS FINE RIDE. WARNING: THIS IS NOT A LOW PROFILE SLEEPER. EVERY HEAD TURNS WHEN THIS BEAST CRANKS UP WITH THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF THE COBRA MOTOR. IT IS TASTEFULLY MODIFIED AND UPGRADED FOR FUN, DEPENDABILITY, AND INCREDIBLE DRIVABILITY. IT IS NOT A MONSTER HORSEPOWER DRAG RACER THAT CANNOT BE DRIVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS ONE FINE MACHINE WITH LOTS OF SPORT TOURING CAPABILITY BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSIVE EFFORT TO MAKE IT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE MONEY SPENT AND THE PREPARATION TO GET THIS CAR TO THIS POINT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. TO START IS THE EYE POPPING PAINT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FINER PAINT JOB THAT WAS NOT IN A CAR SHOW. IN FACT, THIS CAR WAS BEING PREPARED FOR THE CAR SHOW CIRCUIT AND SPENT MANY YEARS IN HEATED/COOLED GARAGE STORAGE BEING DRIVEN ONLY TO KEEP IT FUNCTIONAL. THE SUSPENSION IS TIGHT AND LOWERED JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT. TAPPING ON THE THROTTLE IN 1ST OR 2ND AND YOU GET THE BACK TIRES TO CHIRP. GIVE IT THE GAS AND IT WILL DO A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN CHIRP! THE INTERIOR IS A DELIGHT WITH ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, ACCESSORIES WORKING AND EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. POWER WINDOWS, POWER DRIVER SEAT WITH POWER LUMBAR, CRUISE CONTROL AND ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING MAKE THIS A COBRA WITH MORE THAN JUST A TOUCH OF LUXURY. THE WEATHERSTRIPPINGS ON THE DOORS ARE SO TIGHT IT IS EASIER TO LOWER THE WINDOW WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THAT'S A TIGHT FIT!  NO SURPRISES OR DISAPPOINTMENTS.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU BID, YOU ARE CONTRACTING TO BUY THIS CAR. NO MONEY? NO BIDDING!  THERE IS NO WARRANTY WITH THIS SALE. CAR IS SOLD AS IS FOB LONGVIEW, TX. ALL STATEMENTS MADE ARE TRUE AND CORRECT ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF BIDDING.

THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN REGISTERED SINCE 2000 WHEN WE PURCHASED IT EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO OUR TRUSTY MECHANIC WHO GAVE IT THE THOROUGH INSPECTION AND IN DEPTH PREPARATION FOR BEING DRIVEN (INVOICES TOTALED $2,100.00 FOR THIS VISIT). PULLED THE BRAND NEW WHEELS AND TIRES TO CHECK SUSPENSION AND BEARINGS. ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND SAFETY CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED. THIS PRECAUTION WAS TAKEN WITH NOTHING FOUND OTHER THAN A ROUGH IDLE (OLD GASOLINE) AND SOME SERIOUS HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE MECHANIC FOUND THERE WERE LIGHT BULBS NEEDING REPLACED, TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, FREON WAS LOW IN A/C, ETC. AS WE LIFTED THE CAR IT WAS OBVIOUS THIS WAS NOT A LOW BUDGET RIDE. THE SUBFRAME CONNECTORS, THE EIBACH SPRINGS, THE BRAND NEW CROSS DRILLED ROTORS AND COBRA R WHEELS AND TIRES WERE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. WE PULLED THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK OFF TO CHECK THE FUEL FILTERS AND FACTORY PUMP. THE GASKETS WERE NEEDING REPLACEMENT SO WE REBUILT THE TANK AND PUT ON A BRAND NEW COBRA FUEL PUMP. 

THE BEAST THEN CAME ALIVE! THE FLOWMASTERS MADE SOUNDS THROUGH THE BBK HEADERS THAT ARE MUSIC TO A MOTORHEAD. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS 5.0 WAS STOCK INTERNALS BECAUSE WHEN WE GOT IT DOWN AND DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST REAL TEST DRIVE WE FOUND IT PULLS LIKE A TRACTOR AND CANNOT GET TRACTION IN 1ST OR 2ND IF YOU ARE MASHING ON IT. GOOD THING THE BRAKES ARE UPGRADED.THIS THING STOPS ON A DIME WITH GREAT PEDAL FEEL AND SOME SERIOUS BRAKING POWER... WHOA BABY!

THE GEAR RATIOS ARE STOCK (IT LOAFS AT 22OO RPM AT 70MPH IN 5TH GEAR OVERDRIVE). IT GETS WELL OVER 20 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. SOME SAY THESE CARS CAN GET 25 MPG BUT I HAVEN'T CONFIRMED THAT NUMBER. THIS CAR IS WAYYYY TOO FINE FOR MY SON TO JUST BANG AROUND IN THE PARKING LOTS AT COLLEGE (SORRY ABOUT THAT SON!) SO WE ARE PUTTING IT UP FOR SALE. THE RETAIL VALUE OF THIS CAR WITH 41K MILES ACCORDING TO ONLINE ESTIMATES IS $15-17K. THE AMAZING THING IS THIS WILL MAKE ALL THE OTHER 1994-1995 COBRA'S LOOK WEAK BECAUSE OF THE ULTRA FINE PAINT JOB AND THE TASTEFUL MODIFICATIONS. 

YOU CANNOT GET QUALITY LIKE THIS FOR LESS! THIS IS THE CAR YOU'VE BEEN WAITING ON... SPRING IS HERE AND IT'S TIME TO SLIP OFF THE 7 LAYER CUSTOM CAR COVER (INCLUDED WITH THE SALE) CRANK UP THE 5.0 COBRA MOTOR, PUSH THE DOWN BUTTON FOR THE WINDOWS AND LISTEN TO THE 5.0 MAKE MUSIC WHILE YOU ROW THE GEARS. IF THAT GETS BORING YOU CAN PUSH THE POWER WINDOWS UP AND FEEL THE ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING AND LISTEN TO THE 600W SUBS GO BOOM BOOM BOOM. THIS CAR ATTRACTS MORE ATTENTION THAN CURRENT SHELBY GT500'S BECAUSE IT IS RARE, FINE AND... WELL IT'S JUST GOT THE STANCE AND SOUND THAT ONLY COMES FROM THE LEGENDARY 5.0 COBRA MOTOR. 

THE NEGATIVES: ALL OF THESE ARE MINOR ISSUES - 1. THE THROW OUT BEARING MAKES A NOISE THROUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE FORD FACTORY NON-ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH CABLE SYSTEM ON THE 1995/5.0 ENGINE. HE SAID HE HAS TRIED REPLACING CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROWOUT BEARING ON THESE MODELS AND THE NOISE WOULD STILL BE THERE! THE CLUTCH IS FINE BUT THE MINOR NOISE IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO FIX WITH AN AFTERMARKET ADJUSTABLE CABLE KIT OR MAYBE EVEN A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH WITH ADJUSTER.  2. THERE ARE TWO DOOR DINGS FROM PARKING LOTS. JUST TWO! BUT THE PAINT IS SO FINE THESE REALLY SHOW UP WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING. ONE IS 3/4 INCH AT THE CHARACTER LINE ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR JUST BEHIND THE MIRROR. THE OTHER IS 1/4 INCH ON THE PASSENGER DOOR A LITTLE FURTHER BACK. 3. IT NEEDS A NEW RUBBER GASKET ON THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL. 4. THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT HAS A BROKEN PIECE IN THE SEAT TRACK. I AM ORDERING A REPLACEMENT NOW AND IT SHOULD FIXED BY 04/20/14 UNLESS IT SELLS BEFORE THEN. 5. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK LATCH HAS THE PLASTIC BUTTON MISSING. 6. THE STEERING WHEEL IS 1 OR 2 NOTCHES OFF CENTER. THE FRONT END MEASUREMENTS ARE ALL PERFECT AND IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH NO VIBRATIONS. 7. IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO LOUD FOR ME. I LIKE TO HEAR THE HEADERS THROUGH A MODEST MUFFLER. THE FLOWMASTERS DRONE A LITTLE AT CRUISING SPEED BUT NOT ANNOYINGLY SO. BUT IT SURE DOES MAKE AN AWESOME SOUND AT START UP AND TIPPING IN THE THROTTLE. YOU CAN EASE AROUND FAIRLY QUIETLY BUT YOU CANNOT GO UNNOTICED WHEN YOU MASH ON IT. IT'S L-O-U-D!

THE EXTERIOR OF THIS CAR IS ALMOST A 10 OUT OF 10. THE INTERIOR IS A 9 OUT OF 10. THE DRIVETRAIN IS A 9 OUT OF 10. IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT IT IS BY FAR THE BEST 1995 COBRA I HAVE EVER SEEN OR DRIVEN. THIS CAR IS ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE AND FOR SALE LOCALLY, HOWEVER, YOU CAN END THE SALE IMMEDIATELY WITH THE BUY IT NOW PRICE.

THANKS FOR READING AND GOOD LUCK ON BIDDING. CONTACT ME THROUGH EBAY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE SHIPPING. I HAVE SOME IDEAS AND ADVICE THAT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY AND TIME WHEN CHOOSING A SHIPPER.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Meet the Jeep Wrangler's tiny Japanese doppelganger, the Suzuki Jimny

Wed, Aug 23 2017

We're all eagerly anticipating the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, but it's not the only two-door, body-on-frame off-roader coming out in the near future. Suzuki has its own on the way by the name of Jimny (no, that's not a typo). Long ago, we received the Jimny here in the United States as the eminently capable, though tipsy, Samurai. The Samurai was followed here by the more civilized Sidekick/Tracker, which eventually took on its original name of Vitara. But overseas, the rugged, truck-like Samurai survived as the Jimny. This newest version looks to retain much of its predecessors' capability. In addition to the body-on-frame chassis, it features a solid rear axle. Odds are that it will continue to offer a part-time four-wheel-drive system with a low-range, as with the current one. We can't quite tell if it will still have a solid front axle, though. Styling-wise, the new Jimny does seem to have tougher, chunkier looks than the current one, pictured above. The corners have been squared up, and hard creases added to the flanks. The wheel wells are now more square and look to have bigger flares. We're also noticing some retro touches such as the roof that isn't flush with the rest of the body. The taillights mounted in the rear bumper are also reminiscent of the old Samurai. As nifty as the little Jimny is, we can safely say that we won't be getting it here — Suzuki doesn't sell cars here anymore. But even if Suzuki were still operating in the U.S., we probably wouldn't get the Jimny. It would probably be too crude for most buyers, and it could be tricky to get it to pass safety regulations. Its tall, narrow shape also could be rollover prone, and Suzuki wouldn't want to go through another rollover controversy. But hey, in roughly 25 years, you can import one of these if you really want.
