2003 Mineral Grey 2.9 Whipple Crusher Cobra - Updated with Pictures
It's come time to part ways with my better half, my 2003 Mineral Grey Cobra. Roughly 54k miles. I'd rate interior as 8/10 and exterior roughly 8/10. A brand new OEM Ford Bumper, also painted by Ford installed March 2015. With new chin spoiler as well. The only reason for selling is i have recently fell in love with C6ZO6's and I'm looking to propose to my girlfriend. I have no use for two sports cars. If you are looking to modify a cobra, this is a great way to save a ton on the build. A quick calculation of what I've invested so far comes to well over $20k. ( Thats just calculating the main/larger items AND not including all the tuning cost). All parts installed in May of 2012 unless noted below. Tuned by Justin's Performance Center (JPC). I know I am forgetting many things. Feel free to ask!
