Looks like a good deal to me:beer:

 

[03 KB Sonic Blue]

Looks like a good deal. Everything looks like it was done right. First thing to do tho if you get it is put it on the dyno just to check a/f ratio and make sure everything is all good.

OH

I didnt see any fuel upgrades? Im pretty sure you need a BAP with a ported blower to get it more fuel.

 

[boosted2000si]

Car looks good, vin checks out also. You should be good to go.

 

[03SVTKB]

Looks like a pretty nice well maintained cobra.

 

[Greg Z]

Looks good. I like the polished SC, nice.

 

[cobracide]

1) Get the carfax
2) I'd really like to see the dyno sheet.

 

[Jomo1994z71]

Wow...that's a nice Cobra...if the motor checks out I would jump on it...I like how it's got the radar detector wired in 360 coverage...very neat...Speedhut gauges FTW!

 

[03COBRA-88]

Thats a good deal, plus all the mods that are done to it is a huge bonus.

 

[totenkopf13]

Agree- nice car :beer:

 

[go2cdmb]

Thanks fellas, No dyno sheet and not sure what dyno. He didn't know if there were larger injectors and such, but there'd almost have to be if it's runnin smooth, no? What ya mean motor check out? The ticking?

 

[03 KB Sonic Blue]

It still has the 39lb injectors (Blue) If they were 60lbs they would be black.
By check out the motor we mean do a compression test and make sure they are all the same. If one side or a piston is lower than the rest a sign of future problem.
As for head tick you shouldnt have to worry about it. It was cars built before 11/02. So only the 03 models had the chance of head tick issue. At least thats what I read from Ford.

 

[Jr Mint]

That's a nice car!!!! It has the fr500 rims on it, very nice. Like they said, check the a/f, check the compression, and get a good deal! It seems very very nice.

 

[mach1033]

21k is a fair price to me but you know the saying " everything is negotiable" Also like everyone has said get it datalogged and purchase a hand held tuner like an SCT or Diablo if this car doesnt come with one. The pics of the car look very nice and good luck with the purchase.:beer:

 

[03terminator77]

there's some real nice cobra's for sale at www.wellsautos.com for reasonable prices and low miles..you should check it out.

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

sorry, but i wouldn't buy that car....anyone who doesn't know the upper/lower pulley combo on thier own cobra is an idiot

 

[mingrey302]

i wouldnt buy it we dont need no more idiots driving these cars! they are very fast and if you have never drivin a cobra you will fall in love but you hate when you have to fix it!!!

 

[Lloyd Xmas]

Definitely go get it dyno'd. I would also find out what pulleys are on there. Other than that I'd say your good. Nice find. There are many nice Terminators for sale in our for sale section..check em' out..

Thanks to all those with actual CONSTRUCTIVE posts. I really appreciate it...

So you're sure that the 04's didn't have the tick issue?

Thanks for the help fellas... It's now sold and I'm gonna go get it this weekend. :rolling:


Other than that...

Boy, MinGrey....

I'm not really understanding the insult bro.


When both;

you don't even know me,

and my first post was nothin but utmost respect,

it makes me think you're a knuckldragger.


LOL... Either way you're a little tightly wound dude. If ya ask me, I think it's pretty possible that you're the one who ought not to be behind the wheel of one of these. You're quite the character.. I'll leave it at that. :beer:
