    What Is A "Roller?"

    Here's a really stupid question: when a Cobra is described as being a "Roller," exactly what does that mean? I figured it was a 'cutsie' word for having replaced the valve/lifter setup, from stock. I used to think it meant that the car had been rolled in an accident. It's hard to keep up...

    Rear Seat Tonneau Cover

    Have any owners out there ever seen a Tonneau Cover installed that covers the rear seat ... one that snaps onto the sides of the interior? I know, this smells of the '50s, but I have it in mind for a possible installation on a future Cobra. I have a feeling that it would have to be a totally...

    Someone was looking for a photo of the seat latch. Here's what I found: I couldn't find my close-up photos ... the computer has kind of taken over, and even screwed-up some of my Web Pages.

    Still Lurking, And Looking For Another Cobra

    Even though I bought this a few weeks ago ... '02 Triumph Bonneville ... I'm still looking for another Cobra. I'm running the Bonneville on Craigslist. Before I bought the Bonneville, every Mustang I looked at was totally crap ... almost like all the good Mustangs were gone - :shrug:

    Need Car Lot Reference From Some Houston Owners

    I've located what seems to be a good '98 GT-Vert at "Performance Mustang," in Houston. It's located just North of the downtown area alongside I-45, about 2 miles or so North of I-10. Does anyone know how far I can trust these people? I talked to the owner, and they deal with a lot of...

    San Antonio Cobra Owners

    Hi all ... I'm trying to get back into a Cobra. Do any of you know anything about a white '95 at a car lot on O'Connor Road? I'm having a little difficulty getting them to answer the phone. It's probably from out of town, or even out of state, but thought I'd check with my brothers anyway...

    Losing All My Money I Could Have Put On A Cobra

    I've only lost $7,500. in my IRA value in the last three weeks. I know there are a LOT of people that have lost tens of that amount, but it still hurts to know that I could have bought a VERY LARGE piece of my next Cobra, instead of losing it ... thanks to some big fat-ass banker/mortgage...

    The Ole' "Trickeroo" For Getting Another Cobra

    I'm about to start a new job. I went into full retirement three years ago, and am goings nuts sitting around the house all the time (I'm not a yard-type person any more - I rarely go outside). My new job will be part-time or perhaps full-time. Of course, we only have the one vehicle, a '08...

    Fog Light Mod (?)

    Just visiting ... nice Forum. Do any of you owners know how to do a Fog Light Mod, so the fogs will come on by themselves? I used to drive a Cobra, and the F/L switch was independent of the light switch, so it was entirely a different matter. I now drive a Hemi, and the F/L switch is...

    Let's Read A Good Book ...

    Back in the '60s, I bought a new Motor Manual, to get specs, and instructions on repairing the components on my '57 Pontiac Chieftan. It helped me tremendously, because I had absolutely no experience on autos. Well, in about 2002 / 2003, I bought a Haynes Repair Manual at Auto Clone, for about...

    Short Story About "It's Not A Real Cobra"

    Kind of funny thing happened last night when I was playing pool ... I was talking to a young lady about her '03 GT, and told her that when I pulled up, there was a red Cobra out in front. She said, "yeah, I think that belongs to the guy you're getting ready to play." I talked with him for a...
