It is with a heavy heart that I am listing my 2003 DSG Cobra Convertible for sale. The car has 61,xxx miles and has been the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Comes with factory tonneau cover
Comes with a box of parts including oil filters, belts, windshield wiper blades, spare set of brake pads, hood struts and a Maximum Motorsports steering rack aluminum/solid bushing kit I haven’t got around to installing yet.
The not so good:
Drivers seat showing signs of wear. No tears, just not as perfect as the other three seating areas.
A few small rock chips in paint from normal driving wear and tear.
Will need a set of tires in the near future. I have not bought a new set so the next owner can choose their favorite brand/type of tire. I highly recommend the Toyo R888’s for the rear.
Accident reported on Carfax. Previous owners (two owners ago) bumped someone from behind. Only thing damaged was the left front corner of the hood. I bought the car with a carbon fiber hood (since sold) and seller gave me the original hood in perfect shape except for the one damaged corner (about the size of a credit card). Hood was professionally repaired, paint blended, and re-clear coated by Fairway Ford in Greenville, SC in 2017.
Car history:
The history as I know it is that the original owner was a woman. The car was then bought by a fellow named Aaron Aaron (yes, his real name) who was in the Navy and based in California. Car was kept in storage in California and driven when he was on shore leave. He had the Whipple and many of the support modifications installed in the 2007 to 2009 range. Car was dyno turned by Racers Edge Tuning (RET) who is a well-respected tuner and also likely who did the install. At that time, car was tuned to a very conservative 528rwhp/480rwtq on a dynojet (I have the dyno sheet). Aaron sold the car to his brother in-law, Will Chilvers, in Marietta, GA. Will had previously owned a Cobra and was very knowledgeable about them. He took great care of the car and it was parked in a garage at home and where he worked (hospital). He had an amazing garage and his own lift, which I got to see when I purchased the car.
I bought the car in the summer of 2014 with approximately 55,000 miles. This is a second car for me and has always been garaged and only driven on nice days (only sees rain if I get caught in a thunderstorm) at an average of about 1,500 miles a year. Car has never been to a drag strip or a road/autocross course by me or the previous owner (we both always had/have child seats in the back, haha). I did take it to a “Wanna Go Fast” ½ mile shootout in 2017 at Heavens Landing, GA to see what it could do. Made only 4 passes and ran a best of 144.4mph, which was within 1mph of Hellcats, 6th Gen Camaro ZL1’s and some Vipers. Car drew tons of praise and attention which was a lot of fun and needless to say, its fast! The rest of its life, it has been pampered and babied driving my two boys around in “Daddy’s muscle car” and the previous owner’s two little girls.
This is one of the good one’s guys and I hate to let it go, but my youngest no longer fits behind me and he had to put his feet on the console the last time we went out. Unfortunately, that means it’s time for a four door. Will consider trades for a 2012+ C63 AMG or 2015+ BMW M3.
Price is $22,500
