Alrighty so i'm posting this for a bud i chose to pass on the car as it has a SALVAGE title.
Here's what i know about the car, he bought the car from his brother who bought it from an auction. From what i understand the car was in a driverside accident the fender, door and hood were repalced. I did not pull the car fax.
I don't know all of the details but about 6 months ago it lost oil pressure, he took it to a local shop here in Hebron. They repalced the oil pump but when they put it back together somethings not right. It seems like it's down on power. The only thing I can equate it to is when i put my pushrod motor together I tighted the valves too tight and it made it feel the same way this Cobra does. I'm not that hip to the 4v cars so i'm not sure what's wrong with it.
Other than that the car is pretty nice. One tear on the driverside bolster. Paint could use a good deswirl and buff. It does have actual Saleen magnesium rims that are perfect not one scratch not a curb mark nada. Brand new KDW's all the way around. I'm not that familiar with NOS set ups but it does have a pretty slick zex set up. There's a digital controller under the hood and in the glove box. The car is drivable but again seems down about 100 hp to me. No rust on the frame rails or in the trunk area.
The gentleman who own's the car is a captain in the Army and will be deployed to Africa soon. If anyone would like additional info or photos I'll do what I can for you as the car is literally 5 min. from where I work.
At this time i'd say he's open to offers.
