*****Factory Five Cobra Roadster*****
http://www.stangheaven.com/images/cobra/wwdynoday15.jpg
Rachel and I picked this up earlier this year from a friend who had built it. Almost every part of this vehicle is new, excluding the transmission and rear end (the only donor parts). It has always been a dream of ours to own one but as priorities are changing and we find ourselves busier with other activities, we are realizing we have less and less time to drive it and can’t justify keeping it for the once a month(if we are lucky) that we are getting to drive it! The car has 1500 miles on it – basically brand new! We are asking $28kobo for it. This car really scoots and is an absolute BLAST to drive. We have title in hand.
Here are some basic specs:
Factory Five Chassis
BMW Blue custom paint job w/ghost stripes(looks killer in person!)
5.0L Crate Motor
B-Cam
Trick Flow Heads
5.0L Cobra Upper/Lower intake
Flaming River Steering Rack
Autometer Gauges
Heated seats
5-Point Harness
There are so many really neat features to list, that it is best checked out in person - not to mention it sounds amazing in person! :bigthumb
Since we purchased it in February, we have completed the following additions:
Cincy Speed installed braided fuel lines(tank to rail, feed & return)
New braided oil relocator
New Cobra 5.0L Upper/Lower intake
New Alternator
New Custom Spark plugs & Wiring hide/engine bay detail(thanks to Joe Palmer!)
Plus several other little additions

We are just trying to free up some resources because we are thinking of putting our house on the market next year and look for a new one. I'm sad to see the car go, but sometimes you just have to put other priorities first.

Yup - http://www.stangbangerz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47132. Sounds like somebody is coming to look at it tomorrow. If that doesn't work they are both going on Craigslist. Time for a change in priorities. A lot of money in cars sitting in the garage doing nothing right now unfortunately.

I thought you just did your basement the way you liked it? Or was that a precursor to the possible house hunting? Ie: pump the value up.

Well, we didn't really remodel the basement by choice, kind of had to after it flooded. But thanks to the City of Cincinnati, we were able to make it into a really nice basement.

Here's my sign!:doh:
I forgot all about that. Well I'm glad you guys are not moving away, even though I don't get to hang with the crowd as much as I would like. :)

Love it!
I've wanted to build one for a while. :(
Price is pretty good for a FFR Cobra, I've seen some go for ~$40k. :eek:
What wheels are those?

Thanks! I believe those are Halibrand wheels. We'll make you a deal on one street ready! ;)

I wish! If I can't afford to finish the Pinto. I certainly can't afford to buy a Cobra. :(
Good luck on the sale.
