When we bought our Black 96 SVT Cobra [emoji216] in 2011 it had 37,500 miles and was a pampered garage queen. I paid $10,500.

Wow [emoji50] you Stole it at that price. Please post some more photos

I have a 96 Black Coupe just turned 53K miles. Previous owner really pampered it, sunny days only. It has no dents or scratches etc. I only get nervous driving it through a parking lot or if I come across something like a recently chipped & tarred road, or a truck with debris coming off it. As...

We have a 96 Cobra that had been very well maintained by the previous owner. We purchased it in July 2011 with 37K miles. It was always garaged, sunny day only, Royal Purple oil. We've now reached the 50K mark. I've kept with the Royal Purple oil every 3-4K miles. I want it to last long with...

I just bought a set of Bilstein rear shocks for 94-2004 Saleen. They say they will fit all Mustangs that year. Has anyone else purchased these? How did it work out? Are they ultra-Stiff? I have H&R sport springs. I made the mistake of putting on COBRA IRS shocks. Rides like a buckboard...

I have a 96 SVT Cobra. It currently has Firestone 245/40 RZ17 tires. Last weekend On the way to a show I had a flat. I need to replace both rear tires because they are worn. The tires are Firestone Firehawk tires. Calling around. They appear to be discontinued, hard to get. Car is a fair...

Against my wife's wishes I lowered our clean 47K mile 96 Cobra coupe. I asked a lot of questions before hand because I wanted to lower it but not have an extremely rough ride. To save money I bought gently used parts off the forums and some new. I used H&R progressive springs for a 1.5" drop...

I'm going to switch to classic car insurance before I take our 96 SVT Cobra back out on the road. My main reason is agreed value. My current insurer State Farm won't do agreed value. I've been in talks with both and would like to sign the papers on Monday. I don't want to take the car out...

Since the weather has gotten colder I'm getting a CEL. The code is P0113. Intake air temp sensor 1 circuit high. I'm not familiar with the layout of sensors on a 4.6 4V Mod engine. I do have a K&N CAI, but it's been there forever. Only other new thing is a BAMA Tune. I did detail the engine...

Our daily driver Volvo wagon threw a timing belt and bent some valves. May not be worth repairing it's a 98 with 120K miles. So I looked in the merchandiser paper and saw an older couple selling their 2001 Lincoln Continental. It's an automatic, power everything, sunroof, 70K miles, $4750...

I've finally got all the parts and will be lowering my 96 Cobra probably 1.5". Using H&R springs, Bilstein shocks & struts, Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates, new urethane isolators, and Golden West Suspensions full length sub frame connectors. The local performance tire shop charges $69...

I've been collecting parts for about 2.5 months in order to lower my car and beef up the suspension. My goal is get rid of 4x4 look, better handling, without too stiff a ride. So far I bought rear Bilstein HD shocks 5K miles at a swap meet. Clean used MM caster camber plates, Low mileage H&R...

Looking for a set of Bilstein HD Struts to fit my 96 Cobra. The lower the miles the better, but tell me what you have. Have $$$ ready to buy today. Thanks Dave

I removed the 13 year old Superchip off the ECU on our 96 SVT Cobra. I then installed the 93 octane Hybrid Race Tune. She feels like a whole new car. Definite more seat of the pants feel in power and acceleration. Unfortunately our local track Maple Grove Dragway stopped test & tune for the...

Ok I've been gathering parts to lower my 96 SVT Cobra. Per forum feedback I bought H&R Sport Springs, MM caster camber plates, I picked up a great set of low mile Bilstein rear shocks. But I've been having a problem finding Bilstein Struts with lower miles. I will also be adding Subframe...
