2003 Sonic Blue Cobra. So Cal.

[mariosvt]

2003 Sonic Blue Cobra

65k Miles.

No accidents and has been a California car its whole.
Clean title and pink slip on hand.

No mechanical, electrical, or transmission issues.
This car does NOT have the infamous head tick.

I bought it a little over a year ago and have put 9k miles in it so far.

The car has been stock its whole life.
Except for the Pro 5.0 shifter that was put in by the first owner and the installment of lowering springs in the front by the second owner.

Modifications I have done to the car:

-M&M Full Lenght Subframe Connectors (Welded)
-Steeda 3-Point Strut Tower Brace
-Bassani X-Pipe
-Borla Stingers Polished Cat-Back
-C&L Elbow with K&N Filter
-Swapped out Pro 5.0 for MGW Orange Handle
-Billet Flow IRS Brace
-OEM Chrome 17x9 Cobras up front with 275/40 Nitto 555 Extremes(95% Tread)
-17x10.5 Chrome Cobra Replicas in the rear with 315/35 Pirellis (95% Tread)


Car has never been pullied and I have all the receipts of the stuff that has been done to the car since day 1.
I have done Royal Purple oil changes every 3k miles and I just recently changed the fuel filter less the 2k miles ago.
Car has just passed SMOG and tags were just renewed less than 3 weeks ago.

21k OBO

If your interested, shoot me a reasonable offer and we can go from there. Worst I can say is "no thanks". I wasn't too sure on what to price the car so don't bombard me with negative comments.

Car is located in Downey CA. About 5 min from RET.

Thanks

Kinda new to the Termi purchase game.... whats the "head tick" problem?.

 

[mariosvt]

The explanation to the cylinder head tick is as follows:​

There were some Terminators that had Valve seat run out in excess of .006 to .008 on the exhaust side.

The Valve stem deflects in the guide and ticks. The factory valve work early on was not always round.

The exhaust seat material is extremely hard and tooling deflection occurs.
Terminators that suffer this seat run out experience a tick at 25,000 mile mark on driver side and 35,000 on passenger side.

I have not seen a Valve failure because of this ever and not all Cobra's develop the tick.
K-liners are the best fix.
