Quick Info:
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra - $22,000 OBO

Item Description:
This is a badass car, but I just don't have the time to enjoy it right now and figured I'd list it up before winter. The car isn't perfect, but it's close to it. It has been driven and enjoyed, but between the previous owner and I it has been garage kept since early 2007, and I can only assume the original owner did the same judging from the miles and condition of all the trim and whatnot. I'd rate the exterior 8/10, due to the 3rd brake light being cracked (very common), the insides of the rear bumper has rub marks from the car previously being lower with big 18" radials, and a spot on the hood where the car previously had a 3.4 Whipple and broke a belt (tight clearance and the belt tagged the hood). The interior I'd rate a solid 9.5/10, there are no imperfections that I know of, but somebody else may find something. The previous owner bought the car from a dealership in 2007 stock with 9k miles on it. He's a very knowledgable guy and spared no expenses with this car, everything is done right!

2003 Zinc Yellow Cobra coupe (1 of 490)
Grey suede inserts interior
Just turned over 25k miles

Asking $22,000, may consider trades and cash

I'm sure there are things I'll miss and some things I may not know the full details of, but I'll try my best to update the thread with other mods or further details.

Exterior
-Tinted windows, I'm guessing 20%
-Shorty antenna
-Chrome COBRA inserts on the rear bumper
-Black chrome 17x9/17x10.5 factory reps with Sumitomos up front and Nitto 555Rs out back. The whole setup only has around 1500 miles on it.
-Drilled and slotted rotors front and rear

Interior
-Pillar pod with an Autometer boost gauge and a Speed Glow nitrous pressure gauge. The nitrous pressure gauge is brand new and just filling in the hole currently, needs wired up.
-Steering column gauge pod with an Autometer A/F gauge. I took this out of the car when I bought it because the previous owner told me it wasn't connected. The module is still mounted under the dash and whatnot, so I don't know if it just needs a sensor or what but I know the tune is dead on and prefer as little gauges as necessary. The pod just slips over the column, so there is no sign that it was ever there.
-SCT flip switch tune selector custom mounted in the coin slot beside the shifter.
-Nitrous switches mounted cleanly ahead of the shifter.

Motor
-Stock block with Manley Platinum Plus domed and skirt coated pistons
-ARP head studs, main studs, and 2000 series rod bolts
-Cometic headgaskets
-Posi Race ported blower and inlet
-2.60 upper pulley with a 2 lb lower in a custom machined stock basket
-2 90mm Metco idler pullies and 1 100mm with a Steeda auxiliary idler
-Accufab throttle body
-Comp Stage 3 blower cams with Comp adjustable cam gears and Livernois valve springs
-Mildly ported heads and fresh valve job
-SCT BA-3000 meter
-Accufab dual pass heat exchanger with custom shroud and dual Spal fans
-1 3/4 primary Kooks longtube headers, offroad x-pipe, and Flowmaster catback with gutted mufflers
-Larger intercooler tank
-Head cooling mod
-All synthetic fluids throughout

Fuel
-Fore triple hat with triple Y block
-Walbro GSS 342 pumps with upgraded power and ground wires with triple relays
-10 micron inline filter with 8 an feed and return lines
-Aeromotive A-1000 boost reference regulator
-Fore fuel rails
-Siemens 80 lb injectors
*CURRENTLY TUNED ON E85*

Drivetrain
-26 spline input shaft
-Spec stage 3 clutch with lightweight chromoly flywheel
-Steeda adjustable clutch cable with firewall adjuster
-Steeda Tri-ax shifter
-IRS brace

Suspension/chassis
-UPR tubular K member and control arms
-Coilovers in front, H&R springs in rear
-Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates
-Welded full length subframe connectors
-Torque boxes tig welded

Nitrous
-NX based dry shot kit with a bottle warmer, currently has a 57 jet (roughly 125 shot)

This car is stout. It is tuned by Brian at Dyno Tune Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio and always has been. The last time on the dyno, it put down 570/525 on blower and 705/823 on spray. That was on 20 degrees of timing with a consistent 11.3-11.5 A/F ratio. It should be making slightly more now, those numbers were before the head work.

I regretted selling my first one also, which is why I bought this one! Lol

I absolutely love the car, but my wife and I had our first baby at the end of March and I just don't have the free time or interest I had last year. I'd rather see the car go to somebody who will get more use out of it than I and either get more of a project that I can mess with when I feel like it and ignore it when I don't, or just get a '11-12 5.0 or Ecoboost Supercrew as a daily that I won't care to put the wear and tear on.

Been getting the itch to get out in the garage and wrench on something not quite as nice lately, would highly consider a clean foxbody or ls1 car and cash. Also interested in quad/super/crew cab full size trucks. No boats/atv/motorcycle trades.

I'd rather have the 5.0 car :D

I'd actually love to have another C5, but yours is a '97, auto, targa top which is 3 strikes for me personally. I don't think you'll have too hard of a time selling it though, it's a super clean car with an awesome color combo and priced right. If it were a 99-00 FRC or a Z06 I'd be talking dollars.

Lol. I know. I bought the old man version. It is clean though. May be working a deal on a twin turbo sn95

Alex there's a really clean 1owner sonic blue 03 7.3 powerstroke sitting here in my driveway w/80k miles. It's ex cab.

Josh I'd definitely be interested in it if it was a Supercrew. I still have a few years left of dealing with a babyseat. Lol

A guy from Cleveland is supposed to come down this week with cash.

last I heard he still has it, but I think someone went to the bank.

BuckeyeAlex
01-27-2013, 10:11 AM
Yeah, it's still sitting in the garage, but a guy from Cleveland is supposed to bring his trailer down to get it. His bank took forever on his end, but yesterday I filled out everything on my end so hopefully it won't be much longer. If it falls through I'll update the thread.
