First, thank you for taking the time to examine my 2003 Dark Shadow Gray Cobra convertible.  In truth this is my second go-around with one of these, and I’m not prepared to state it’ll be my last.  :)  It helps to have a great friend who owns Maximum Velocity Performance in San Antonio.  Too bad I never let Tracy modify the engine!  Please note I’ve not been one to beat on my cars, and I purchased this convertible as a cruiser, if you will.  I guess with middle-age does come some wisdom!

 

So…to the nuts-and-bolts of the auction.  If one is looking at a 2003 Cobra then it’s usually safe to say that he or she already knows about the options and specifics.  The car does have factory chrome wheels which are neither rashed nor peeling.  It will also come with the regular floor mats as well as the Cobra-Embroidered show-mats.  Beyond that it’s about condition and history…

 

I purchased the car in September of 2010 with 17,307 miles after hiring an outside inspection company to put the car on a lift and examine it.  The car currently sits with only 41k miles, as until recently I lived two blocks from work.  With a promotion came a commute and these cars can be harsh to drive in rush-hour traffic.  I’ve elected to purchase a more comfortable SHO and I don’t have enough free time to enjoy a second car.  History of the Cobra shows it has never been in an accident. 

 

If I forget some details please do not hesitate to ask questions as undoubtedly I’ll leave something out.

 

No front license plate bracket.  :)

 

In the nearly four years I’ve been the owner there have been no breakdowns.  New brake pads and rotors were just put on this past month.  A drained battery led to an inevitability amongst Cobras…the alternator was going, so it was replaced along with the battery.  The TOB (Throwout Bearing) was starting to chatter so I ordered an entirely new clutch assembly from American Muscle and took the car to Maximum Velocity.  Since I was taking the transmission down I’d intended on just putting the new clutch in since the car had 41k miles.  The mechanic stated the clutch still had 20-30k miles left before it needed to be replaced so I just left it in the car. 

***The car will come with a completely new clutch assembly still in the box as part of the sale.  My gift to you.***

There are two “mods” on the car, such as they are:

1)       I did go ahead and have the adjustable clutch quadrant put in when I had the transmission down.

2)      The stock exhaust system was replaced with Borla Stingers, as the car needed a more pronounced note.

That’s it.  Never tuned, never pullied, not even a cold air intake.  Beyond the sound note I wanted, the car was to retain its stock profile.

 

Imperfections or wear…

Keeping in mind the car is in excellent mechanical working condition both under the hood and out with all possible items functioning, there are no perfect cars.  I’ve made every attempt to show wear in the pictures.  A little wear on the drivers seat, a paint chip on the hood, a little hazing on the headlights, a tiny nick behind the driver’s door…that’s it…normal wear for a twelve year old vehicle.  New tires were put on the car when I purchased it, so while they still have some miles remaining on them, they aren’t new.  Nitto 275’s are on the wheels.

 

If there are any questions or inquiries please do not hesitate to ask.  The car is for sale locally so if my price is met the car can be sold. 

Thanks for looking.

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
