NO LONGER FOR SALE. I am listing up for sale my recent project car of over 6 months. I have put a ton of time, effort, and money into this car as you can see. I purchased the car as a roller and spent numerous hours tracking down all of the parts needed to make this car complete again.
This particular example is #1441 of 3768 Cobra Coupes and 1 of 281 in Competition Orange. The miles on the chassis is 75,000 and the engine has roughly 100 miles on it since it was completely rebuilt. The car is still on a base tune and needs a little bit more easy street driving before I would feel comfortable putting the car on a dyno and finalizing the tune. The car runs and drives great. I have not gotten into much boost to be on the safe side. I always try to be as cautious as possible when breaking in a new engine. I have performed two oil changes on the car so far and still have the oil/filter from the last oil change that a potential buyer is welcome to inspect.
This car has had extensive custom work performed on the engine bay, firewall, front crash bar, and lower radiator support. The engine bay was smoothed (the original panels were not completely cut out as some people do), a custom tubular radiator support was added, and a custom crash bar/intercooler mount was made. This work took a long time to complete as it was not just ordered from somewhere… everything was custom made specifically for THIS car. As far as I can tell, the roof, rear bumper, quarter panels, and trunk are original paint. The rest of the car was repainted or at the very least blended at the time of the engine bay smoothing. The body of the car is perfectly straight, no dents or dings anywhere. The ABS system was deleted and the car has custom tucked brake lines that run in the transmission tunnel instead of everywhere that is visible like factory. It has a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve to adjust brake bias. The factory hydroboost is retained and all of the lines were converted to AN fittings/hose from Russell (not cheap!). The body harness is tucked completely out of sight and the fuse box is custom mounted in the drivers side inner fenderwell as are the rest of the control modules/relays. The harness has NOT been hacked up and is still completely intact. Horns still function and even the windshield washer wiring is still intact. The inner fenders do indeed still fit in the factory locations. The radiator is tucked to under the radiator support and has custom mounts. The more you look, the more custom things you find that have been modified or hidden as you look around the engine bay.

This isn’t your average 04 Cobra. It will be a focal point of any Mustang meet and draws a ton of attention. The engine was built with making 1000+RWHP in mind and is ready to handle that with a power adder of your choice. The car runs and drives very good as it is, but like I say the tune isn't spot on and it will need a final tune.. I figure whoever buys the car will probably want a bigger blower on it anyways. The only BAD thing that I know of is the car does not have AC. The firewall was smoothed and the holes for the evaporator were deleted. You could put AC back on the car, all wiring is still there and I have some of the components, but you would have to take the dash out to find/ recut the holes and install the evaporator. Heat works great as does the rest of the power options, even cruise control. The pictures speak for themselves as to the condition of the car. The interior is very nice and all of the seats are very nice with the exception of the usual wear on the drivers side bolster. I would rate the engine bay a 9/10 and the exterior of the car a 9/10 as well.
NO LONGER FOR SALE. $30,500. Not looking to trade at the current time. The only reason I'm selling is I enjoy building the cars more than driving them and I've ran out of things to do to this one, lol. Just looking to free up some garage space and money for new projects.
