2004 SVT Cobra Coupe "Steeda Q500 Tribute"

Build Date: 02/05/2004
SVT Build# 2030 of 3768
Color: Torch Red
Interior: Dark Charcoal

First and foremost, let me say that this is NOT an authentic Steeda car. The car was built by me as a Steeda Q500 Tribute car, including the serial data plates. I just wanted to make it clear that I am not trying to pass this car off as a True Steeda.


I'm really tossing around the idea of buying a 2016 GT. I wish I could keep my Cobra and get a new one too but that just can't happen. My Cobra is a very good example of a daily driven car, but still cleans up very, very well and gets compliments everywhere I go. It is truly a one of a kind car that I have put a lot of time and money into. I drive the car daily.

Here is the details on the car.

Right now the car has 79K miles and the transmission setup, complete Soild axle setup, and all the suspension components all have around 15K miles on them but will continue to go up as I daily drive the car every day.

Engine:
-Stock 04 Cobra Longblock consisting of:
-4340 forged steel Kellogg "Cobra" crankshaft
-Manley 4340 H beam rods
-Zollner Forged Pistons and file fit rings

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere as I drive the car daily. Just made the 2.5 hr drive to Myrtle beach for Mustang Week, and 2.5 hrs back this past July with no issues at all.

Car made 505 rwhp with the 6 speed before the Auto Swap was done, so I'm guessing it's in the 470 rwhp range thru the Automatic. Has not been on the dyno since the auto swap.

Was ran at the track 1 night on the Nitto NT555 street tires and it ran a 11.89 @ 117mph with a 1.69 60ft on a 98 degree evening. I know it Has a lot more in it with some drag radials, and a cooler night.

Car is located in Jacksonville,NC

Car is still financed through a local credit union where my wife works. Clean Carfax.

asking $22K
