After driving to 7 different states, I drove this one back from South Carolina. I just cant believe the junk that is out there and they want big $ for them. This one has a 94 Cobra motor, crane cam and suppose to have some port work done and said its a 306 but I will find out for sure soon. It's a 89 ...ac and cruise even work. 100% rust free and straight with perfect paint.

Yes, it is, and it's very clean, I've already seen it and looked it over. Just very nice, clean example of a 5.0 coupe.

sweet ride.....more pics
Took me a while but I took a few...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/kennebellcobra/Coupefront.jpg
I also pulled the upper to see if there was port work. The lower barley looks touched but they did a decent job on the heads, just smaller than what I did on the Flamer. I also borrowed a camera to look down in. I put it down the spark plug hole too and the pistons look identical to my old stock cobra piston I have hanging on the wall so I think its a stock bottom end or was just freshened with stock pistons. I love this little camera! This is a pic of the intake valve/boss/guide...

So what's the suspension setup? I'm SO glad you got rid of those chrome bullets :lol:
The ride height and tire size is perfect in my book.

Granatelli weight jacker lowers and adjustable uppers, kyb shocks, stock rears with a coil cut out,
intrax front springs...probably will be switching to coil overs soon.
