SOLD!!! I'm putting my 1995 Cobra up for sale. It is a relatively low mileage car (87k), has never been wrecked and overall is in great shape. I can email you the CarFax from when I bought it (just shy of a year ago) to verify the mileage and no wreck history. It will also show that before I bought the car it was a CA car nearly it's entire life. Below are a list of the details and photos. The basics are the short block has about 5k miles on it, the trans has about 10k miles. The current mileage on the car is 87,500 and will continue to go up but slowly (I only drive it on nice weather days). Piedmont Custom Motorsports here in Raleigh, NC tuned the car and it put down 509/490 with ~12 psi with 11.5-11.9 A/F. I've only had it at the track once (before trac-loc rebuild) and due to horrid one-wheel-peel action the best I could muster was like a 12.4 @ 118. The mph is certainly there for the expected mid 11 sec pass that the car should run. I think with a better set of heads this car is easily capable of 550-600 rwhp and 10 sec 1/4 mile passes. That is at your discretion though... this block is perfectly safe at its current power level and many have pushed the B51 blocks to 600+ but the car is pretty quick as is and I didn't feel like pressing my luck. I've also had the car at one HPDE event at VIR. The suspension setup on this car is awesome for a combo track/street car. It is obviously stiffer than the factory setup but it isn't jarring. If you're more into tracking the car all it needs is a more aggressive alignment and some race-specific tires. Right now it's setup for a nice handling street car which can easily be tracked on the weekend as is. I do not have to sell the car and I'm not really in any rush. If it doesn't sell that's OK. I'm only attempting to get rid of it b/c I've got a couple other places the money might be put to better use. Asking $13,000... will come with all stock parts I have, which isn't a lot but does include the stock '95 hood. If you do not want the '98 hood and the hood shocks attached to it you can knock $250 off the price. Respond here, PM or email me at CarCrazyRDM@yahoo.com with any questions or requests for additional photos.

I openly admit the car does not look at clean as it does in most of the photos. Willing to send photos of major imperfections if you’re seriously interested. -I do have an extra passenger side lower rocker panel and fender flare (both factory black) that will come with the car. The one on the car is cracked but it is underneath and is not visible.

It only just started doing this when the weather turned cold and I have not lubed it yet. It literally goes away within 2-3 minutes. I shot this video in the garage, pulled the car outside and then shot the rest of these videos. By the time I got the car in the driveway it had quit. The biggest imperfections on the car:
Any interest in a trade?? I have a 97 cobra 61K..ocean pacific met green/tan leather, ininstalled vortech/60lb/maf/ecm with tune. My little brother was going to buy the car without the supercharger but his wife put a stop to it. There's nothing like the sound of a old school ford small block. The DOHC sounds great but it's not the same. Thanks Jim
I appreciate the offer but I'm not really interested. And I completely agree... you can't beat the sound of a good old pushrod motor! I had a KB'd Terminator before this car and while it was fast and I did like the car it sure didn't sound as good as this one.
