Now for the bad news:
- Paint is about 9 out of 10. There are some spots that have been repainted and in some areas the paint didn't completely cover. It is not bad at a short distance, I just want to be up front so there are no dissapointments. There are some light scratches on the roof panel from the prior owner's antennas. There are misc small chips on the car and a few scratches here and there.
- very small rip in underside of transmission tunnel sheet metal, no idea how that happened (catback bottomed out)
- Console was drilled for switches for stereo, neon, etc. Switches & neon have been removed.

Asking price is $19,999 or offer. I can get pictures of anything on the car, underneath, etc. I have more pictures, E-mail me for more info:

Wow, those are two opposites!

Right now I'm trying to just sell it but I suppose I could entertain the ideas, PM me details?

Free bump for a good guy and a fantastic car.

DNein's not giving this ride the justice it deserves. This is a GORGEOUS Terminator in an area where not many are ever seen for sale.

The minor paint artifacts and issues he mentions are up close "eyebanging" types that would hardly be noticed by most of the people shitting bricks when they see this car drive by.

The engine is a Tousley crate that was dropped in because the block was making a noise. The car still ran but to sell it he wanted to be sure whoever got it got a great car. The body, interior and everything else in the car only has 30k miles on it and it shows.

You get the car, you get a 100k mile warranty. You can keep it under warranty or mod the crap out of it; your call. But this car is a GEM and I can't believe that there aren't people out there looking for a gorgeous, unmodded Cobra that is just ACHING to be abused :)

As for the seller, he's the head of the SVTOA group in the Twin Cities and is the go-to guy for everyone here when it comes to our cars. If there was a "wrenched by" seal of approval around here, he'd be the one issuing it.

I had a really good experience on this site buying my car site unseen, so I figured I would put in my 2 cents to help out any prospectives out there looking to for the next great deal :)

Good luck!

Got a lot of interesting trade offers so far. Still looking for a bit more cash, thinking somewhere around $15k cash & a trade for something worth 7-8k. Special thoughts given to a S197 convertible of some type.

Keep 'em coming folks. I like classics and newer cars too, and even something that isn't performance related might work...
