Price paid?
wow, awesome!
I found a 03 cobra under a cover in my garage I haven't seen in forever.
OP, do you know the background on the car? That's really low mileage.
Also dirty. Is that drivers side window just cracked? Love stuff like this even though it isn't old.
LOL
Found it surfing Craigslist, no photos on the ad so I asked, he sent a few. It was 200 miles away. So I drove up and that is the way it was setting. He purchased new in 2008 thinking it would make a good investment. Got tired of it setting around. He paid 3K over MSRP. I picked it up for 30. I still can't believe I found it, this happens to other guys.
Sweet, I'm not up on the GT500 prices, so what do they usually bring for that year? I do realize that the mileage does play a factor.
Congrats man! I had the same exact scenario. A car collector bought an '07 as an "investment" then grew bored with it three years ago. I bought it with 367 miles on it and the whole interior still wrapped in plastic.
A word of warning - my fuel pumps, socks and tank had completely deteriorated from having gas sit in it for years on end. You should pull the hat and do a quick inspection before doing anything.

+1 on this, I would also change all fluids and checks for drips and leaks carefully for a while.
Nice find, I guess the original owner didn't take the car cover option...
I hear ya, He said he only put the non Ethanol fuel in the car, but definitely worth taking is looking over everything.

Very cool! Nice work OP!
Don't fool around, a clogged pump resulting in a lean kaboom would suck.
