As if I needed another project....had a friend tell me about a guy he knew that was selling a 97 cobra that had plenty of parts on it - guys wife had been driving for several years and wanted a new car so he bought her one and had to sell this one. He is second owner (bought from 1st owner in 1998 ) and it had been his pride an joy until his new wife started driving it in summertime.
Not partial to that generation of Mustang but figured it was worth the look. Car was in great shape but still could not be convinced to buy it even though it had a slew of goodies. After a few days of negotiations we settled on a great price (for me) and i now own yet another mustang.
Plan for this is that it will replace the SVO as the dedicated track car. Over the next few months and especially the spring i plan on stripping it down to a light race weight by ditching the leather interior and all non essential stuff for the track. Let the fun begin
All the goodies that came with the car -
• 60,000 miles
• Torsen 8.8 w/ 31 spline axles
• Axle girdle
• Full length headers, MAC exhaust
• Aluminum driveshaft
• Aluminum flywheel McCloud
• Cobra R hood
• Cobra R wheels
• Navigation
• BLACK leather interior
• Garage queen – zero rust. Less than any Arizona car I have owned.
• T56 trans - from late 90's viper era before Ford installed in Mustangs
• Tubular K member & Tubular lower control arms
• Front coil over shocks
• Braided steel brake lines
