I'm currently deployed and am not getting to drive and enjoy my Cobra, so I'm thinking of selling it and maybe starting another project when I redeploy later this year. Here's the story on my Mystichrome: I bought it in 05 and it was bone stock with 17K miles. Over the course of the next 5 years, I slowly modded the car so that it would be my "Dream Ride" and this process was completed in 10.

The car is NOT a daily driver and is in excellent condition, both inside and out. If I remember correctly, it currently has right around 32K miles and, while built to go hard and fast with the best components, it has never been to the drag strip or pushed hard on the open road.

Here's a list of the mods (total around $15k):

Engine*& Fuel System Modifications
Whipple Polished 2.3L Supercharger
JLT High Boost Cold Air Intake
SCT 2400 MAF
Accufab Polished Throttle Body & Plenum
Fore Billet Fuel Rails

FRPP Dual GT Fuel Pumps
Lethal Performance Dual FPDM Setup

Grand Design Mat – Custom Trunk Lid Mat
Custom Gas Tank Cover - Painted Mystichrome

DSS Level 5 Halfshafts

BFG KDW 2 Tires

Interior Modifications
SoS A-Pillar Gauge Pods
Cobalt Boost Gauge
Cobalt Fuel Pressure Gauge
Cobalt Intercooler Water Temp Gauge
PLX Digital Wideband
UPR Interior Billet Accessories
Mystichrome Cobra ID Badges

The car dynoed at 624 RWHP with a conservative tune on 93 octane pump gas with a 2.9" upper pulley. I aslo have a 2.7" upper pulley for a race gas setup, but it has never been tuned for this setup. The car was tuned by Tony Gonyon of HP Performance/Tuners Inc. fame and he indicated it should easily be capable of 650 RWHP with the smaller upper and some race gas.

Here are some pictures of the car (note - I have removed the Ford Racing Winshield Banner sinse these pics were taken):

Overall, I would say the car is at least a 9 out of 10. The interior is in excellent condition and the seats are like new (unfortunately, I don't have interior pics on my laptop over here) and the exterior paint is also excellent (in the fall of 2011, I had the front bumper and hood repainted because of a few rock chips, which unfortunately happen when the car is driven).

What you get - the Cobra as currently modded along with 98% of the stock parts (I believe the only things I didn't keep are the stock halfshafts and the stock exhaust manifolds). You get everything else, stock supercharger, cam covers, tanks, clutch & pressure plate, stock wheels and tires (two tires are new and the other two are the originals taken off at 17K miles), etc. So, if you are the new lucky owner, bring a truck to haul all these items!

As previously indicated, I have over $15K in mods on this Cobra, but I'm a realist and I know it won't bring $50K. However, I'm offering it at $29K and you get everything mentioned above. This price is rather firm, but if you want to buy it for less, I will consider selling it with the stock wheels and tires for for $26.5K. If you are seriously interested, I am scheduled to be back in the states for my Midtour R&R at the end of the month and will be more than happy to show the car (location - Jacksonville, FL area).

If you are interested, please feel free to shoot me a pm or an email at: [email protected]

Thanks, :beer:

Thanks for the props. I know now is certainly not the best time to sell a car, but no one gets to enjoy it when it's just sitting in the garage...

The trunk lid mat was custom made by Grand Designs. You shuld be able to find the company with a simple Google search.

Beautiful car! You actually accidentally listed it on cars.com for $17,995 though. Maybe you should sell it to me for that for noticing :banana:GLWS!
