I stumbled onto a 04 Cobra with 49000 km that has been parked in a shed since the old farmers wife bought him a GT500 in 2009 or so. It is completely stock except for the 3m clear vinyl on the nose and the horse in the grill was switched to a snake (the horse was in the glove box).
I drove it 80 km home yesterday and it runs great except the tires are flat spotted from sitting and it shook pretty good at first but was settling down by the time I got back to the farm. I was going to change the shifter, blower pulley and exhaust but it is so original I have to drive it for a few weeks before deciding.
I will change fluids/filters etc but it is so clean I hate to screw it up. And the previous owner is now down to his GT500 and his cool car, a beautiful original 429CJ (mostly original, the 429CJ is sitting on a stand and it has a Boss 429 under the hood for about 40 years now)
