MO: 97 rio red cobra project $4000

[1999blackSVT]

CAR IS LOCATED IN COLUMBIA MISSOURI:

Up for sale is a 97 rio red cobra. 95k on the motor, has rebuilt rear end with 4:10's, and a new T-45 from ford. It does need some work and has some issues but is a very solid project and probally the cheapest 4v cobra out there. The vehicle is a prior salvage and from what I was told it was in a flood. I cannot confirm this but the interior has no smells and all electronics work besides cruise control. The issues are mainly body, paint, throwout bearing, and needs some new hydraulic valve lash adjusters. I've found a set of 32 valve lash adjusters for under $200, and throwouts can be had dirt cheap. I'd fix the issues I just have no time at the moment. I am firm on the price and if I don't get what I'm asking I'll just keep it.

damn man that thing has more issues then lobras ex wife. Bad title. needs major body repair, motor is banged up

It needs some TLC but I've seen far worse. The body work isn't what I'd consider major. Find a couple doors in the same color combo and the body would be great. Hell for under $200 you can replace the throwout and all 32 lash adjusters. A little elbow grease and this could be a nice car agian. Just thought I'd throw it up to see the interest. I just have no time to work on it at the moment with school and the military.
