Selling my 99 Cobra 'Track Car'

Selling my 99 Cobra 'Weekend Driver/Track Toy'

It's official, I have decided to sell the '99 and move onto to something else. Some of you have seen this car in action at Pacific Raceways and know in the right hands the '99 is incredibly capable.

Check it out here:

Sorry to hear, no doubt that its replacement will be able.

I was feeling very nostalgic when I wrote the add, I have a tone of work into the car and it is incredibly capable on a road course. In the end I want a car that is both lighter and has more power on the track. $ and lots of time working on the car would get me there, I would rather spend the time with my Daughter. I plan to pick up an 02-04 Z06 which is both lighter and has more power.

For all those interested, I've been given a ride in this very capable car (by the very capable driver) and it is indeed very quick- you were in the high 1:30s-1:40 at PR, right? Very well balanced, tasteful modification from the work I have seen. All the "right" modifications, too- Torsen diff, roll bar, irs bushings (along with tubular suspension), and all the chassis bracing. Thumbs up!

For what it's worth, if I hadn't had to buy the Cobra I did a month or so ago, I would've snapped up this one.

Clarke, I take it it worked out well in the end?

Congrats on the step up to the Z06, by the way!

I turned a 1:41 in the car on worn out Hoosiers (corded them that day), and although I'm quick, I am by no means a pro. In fact my dad (01 Z06) gave me the point by that day as well. The last time the car was out on track was August in Portland, co driven by myself and local (pro racer) Carlo Sparcio. I held my own in the top group (with Z's and Vipers on slicks) not knowing the track and Carlo absolutely laid waste to every car he approached. The car is super fast on a track. especially considering its making 298 @ the rear wheels.

Well Chris you could always sell 'that Cobra' and pick this one up. Make me an offer

Clarke, I take it it worked out well in the end?

You lost me here, little fuzzy after the holidays.

Congrats on the step up to the Z06, by the way!

Thanks, the unwritten rule is sell the mustang first, so I am working on that. I picked a slow time to sell. My dad seems to be pushing me to get a Z harder then I am, he keeps sending me links of cars for sale locally.

Now that I have put the car up for sale, I am starting to get more anxious to shop for the Cobra's replacement (which I agreed not to do until I sold the Cobra).

So I have updated the website attached with new pictures and a NEW PRICE: $15,800.00 OBO.

Sweet.

How long did it take to sell? I'm pushing forward to put additional money into my loan so I can drop mine off at a dealer so I can buy Chuck's Cobra sooner.

Already have all of my parts for sell ... reverting to stock ... this is a pain in the ass!

I'm hurrying Chuck ...

I put the car up for sale at the worst possible time in the market: Dec. 14.
I lowered the price in mid Jan. and started to get a fair amount of interest when the weather got better. This guy came all the way from Utah for the car although there were a number of local interesed parties including torquemonster (Trey).

 

[ccjcobra99]

NOOOOOOOOO! :nono: :nonono: :bash:

What can I say? I decided that I had put enough money into the 99 and wanted something with less weight and more power. The Z does both stock with ease.

Congrats, Clarke! Hope you're happy with the new toy. Nice color!

You never did get back to me, though- did the fuel pump work out ok?

Hope to see you at the track with it sometime soon!

Thanks Chris.
I had decided about a month ago that I wasn't going to bother with the pump b/c on the street and auto x I never had a problem. The new owner has intentions of tracking the Cobra almost full time so I let him know where / how I had issues at the track and sent the pump with him.
