New 99 Cobra

[Orange95]

I picked up my first Cobra last week and thought I'd toss up a few pics. I wasn't really in the market for a Cobra but it was a deal I couldn't pass up. It's also my first 4V car so I've been doing quite a bit of research about where to start mod wise. The only mod so far is a Steeda Tri-ax that was left over from a fox project. I picked up the car with 63,785 miles and bone stock save for bolt in SFCs installed by a PO. I'm pleased with the condition overall, but it will require some time spent on the paint.

The only immediate mods planned are:

H&R race springs
Bilstein HDs
MM CC plates
MM FLSC
Clutch kit - still on original
Wheels/tires
Headlights

Currently have Steeda X2s and MM bumpsteer kit that will go on with the other suspension mods.

To the pics now.

Here are some shots of what it's joining in the garage.

Looks like a complimentary pair, enjoy them both!

Thanks man! I'm enjoying the car quite a bit more than expected. It's a nice change from the pushrod cars I'm used to driving.

Congrats! how much did you get it for? And yeah throw those headlights in the trash like I did with mine when I bought it years ago. I got an oem 03/04 set from tousley ford back in the day.

The bolt in sub frame connectors are factory for the convertible .

Clean car. Too bad you're not local. I have a set of H&R's I'm trying up get rid of.

And like Ashley said, those are standard on convertibles. I think they put them on Mach 1's as well. You'll notice a big difference with the MM connectors.

Thanks! I'm in it for $8100. I've been looking for some headlight options because these are terrible. I'm picking up an 01 rear bumper and some bullitt side scoops for it tomorrow too.

That's good to know, I had no idea the SFCs were factory pieces.

Definitely needs lowered. If you have big plans for it, skip the MM's and go for the stifflers kit.

That's what I'll end up doing. I learned a lesson with ebay lights in my 95 as well.

Thanks! I know that feeling all too well.

I agree, I'm already tired of the 4x4 look. The H&Rs should be here sometime next week and the Bilsteins will follow shortly. I'll take a look at the Stifflers stuff, but the plan is to keep this one relatively tame other than gears/exhaust/tune. I'm working on a 5.4 4v swap in my 95 so that should help keep this one stockish.

She's nice and clean, congrats!

Thanks! The paint needs a little attention but she has potential for sure.
