I decided to reduce my fleet of cars. This car has mostly sitting in my garage for the last 12 years. I’ve owned this for the last 15 years. I know the last two owners (last was older baby boomer muscle car aficionado and previous owner had Mustang collection including a couple Cobra Rs). This car has really been taken care of and includes a three ring folder and file folder with over five pounds of receipts going back 17 years and a log book going back 15 years which documents every gas fill, oil change and maintenance item. The car has never been raced or on the track. Clean Carfax, no accidents, original rust free California car.

There’s a lot of time and money invested in this Cobra. Professionally built. Looking for a Mustang enthusiast buyer who can really appreciate this car. I essentially have too many cars and other priorities absorbing my time.

The GR40 suspension completely changes the suspension geometry of the car. Rides great and corners flat. Really responsive steering.

This video demonstrates the GR40 suspension in action (not this car but shows you what Griggs components are capable of):



Engine

Stroker 410 Windsor built by ESI Race Engines; SCT dyno tune switch chip by Bruce Tucker at JBA Racing

Blueprinted with spec sheet

Eagle forged crank, Eagle forged H beam rods, SRP forged pistons, main stud girdle

Ported and flowed Windsor Sr. heads (recently rebuilt, includes flow sheet), ARP bolts

Crane aluminum roller rockers

Comp Cams custom grind roller cam and lifters, push rods and double roller timing chain

JBA Racing ceramic coated headers, custom built exhaust, Magnaflow stainless mufflers

Trick Flow intake, BBK 75mm throttle body, Mac cold air intake, K&N filter

MSD billet distributor, MSD6AL ignition box and MSD coil, Comp Poly Composite Distributor gear

Griffin aluminum radiator, Flex-a-Lite fan controller

PA performance starter with heat blanket

Goodyear Hi-miler hoses

Polyurethane engine and transmission mounts

Dyno sheet before larger throttle body, larger headers, roller cam installed and rebuilt heads


Interior

Tan with newer black carpet, recently recovered Corbeau microsuade seats

Autometer engine temp and oil pressure gauges


Needs

Front driver’s side ABS sensor needs replacement. Due to the suspension modifications it’s necessary to remove the tie rod arm to remove the ABS sensor. My plans were to do this and replace the steering rack at the same time which would include new inner tie rods as these are worn as well (common on lowered Mustangs).

This car runs and drives great with crazy torque. Rides smooth and is surprisingly docile. Alignment is straight.

Thanks! That dyno was with smaller 65mm throttle body. Since then it's been upgraded to 75mm, roller cam, bigger headers and rebuilt heads. Wide LSA for torque and reduced emissions so if you wanted to free up some HP a new roller grind slides right in. Comp tech was suggesting a larger cam but I went conservative due to CA emissions.

I have had all out track cars, also had all out show cars that are track capable (my 85) problem is they can't be both...

After expel paint protection I would love for this one to be both. sit on grid with AC going, then head out on track and pull some solid times. Next weekend hit a car show. Personally I think its the perfect car. only thing id change is maybe the seats... and do a custom suede steering wheel for more grip while on track.

Thanks man! Yeah car is still for sale. Sorry I haven't checked the site for awhile.

Now that we're on the cusp of nicer weather across the country and hopefully this pandemic is winding down I'm hoping this well loved Cobra will find a new home!

Feel free to email me for any questions. There's lots of documentation and I have itemized Excel sheet with everything that's been done.

I have references for auto transport if needed.
