Nice looking Tundra. Perfect truck for a woman.
Wife got older..
Cobra needs some work ..it was our only car which made repairs hard..
Just basic stuff..pads, hoses, belts, tires
And reseal rear cover..than clutch is original and just starting to slip..
Than paint time..nose shows miles
Lets see if her 4.6 32v holds up..
I was nervous at first. Thought that you were getting rid of the car....
Tundra..perfect truck,.... for a girl
How many miles are on the cobra now?
Nice looking truck...congrats! 
Lol ... Hotcobra03 I don't think you realize how famous you are. I've heard so many mention "the guy on SVTP with over 300k !".
... Now it's just a game how long it will go ! You can't get rid of it. I almost panicked too when I saw thread, lol.

Lol, I agree. No selling the car unless it's to an active member on here that will keep daily driving it. I've already referenced your car at least half a dozen times when discussing my car with people.
I have wondered who had the most miles on a stock, original cobra motor.
My motor is still running strong at 91k miles. I changed the clutch at ~75k because the TOB exploded, but the clutch itself was fine.
I wonder because 'feeler' discussion always seem to indicate only cobras w less than 50k miles are worth anything. Despite condition.. people seem to act like >80k mile cobras are 'all washed up' and ready to be parted out.
That probably why I have decided to just keep my '04. I think back to my early days when '67/68 shelby's could be found for reasonable prices. Nowadays.. plenty of buyers would give there lft testicle for an original '67 GT350 4spd, with little concern about the mileage as long as it was 'all there'.

Can you please post pics of the exterior? I'm so curious to see what a well maintained car with that kind of mileage looks like. I've followed your quest for years. I've always loved reading about your car :beer:
Totally agree!
Phew... I thought u traded it in or something. Thank god u kept it :rockon:
Bad ass car for sure.

I thought for a moment that you sold your Cobra or traded it. Sure glad you kept it. Your car is like reading a book or watching a movie, we need to see what happens next. We all are watching this car to see how many miles it will go.
curious also . Most famous car on SVTP imo
I'm not a big truck fan, but that is really nice. Hope she enjoys it.
We smoke
Have neopolitan mastiff
Used as work truck
