***I am losing my storage area and must sell soon*** Appraisal was done by a licensed appraiser and judge for the Mustang Club of America. The appraisal came back at $28,000. Maybe in some places, but here I believe the selling value should be around $18,000 for this car. That's a fair price for what it is. Anything less is a good deal, $12,000 is a STEAL! But, I MUST sell it. Just passed the 2017/2018 Illinois smog test! Overall condition of this car is a 9.0-9.5/10. Send contact info if you would like to see a copy of the Pre-Purchase Inspection/Appraisal. With just three owners from new and only 52,000 original miles, this Pacific Green Cobra looks to have been never been raced or abused. The paint is in good condition. This car has been well-kept-that's a rare find indeed. It was obviously garage kept. The headlights, trim and window seals are not oxidized. It's all good. No corrosion anywhere. The Tan leather interior is in very good condition. Everything works, of course, and the Cobra only came with a 5-speed manual gearbox in 1997. With just three owners, a clean CarFax report and low miles, this is an awesome way to get some big horsepower Mustang fun without breaking the bank. It's shockingly well-preserved, looking like it's five years old, not 20, suggesting that someone really loved this car. The fat Custom leather-wrapped steering wheel looks and feels great. Everything was standard, including A/C, power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise control, a rear defroster, and a decent-sounding AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system, and it all works like it should. You also get a back seat that's actually usable and a good-sized trunk that looks like it's never been used. The lights are clear & bright, no oxidation. The door seals are not oxidized. A/C compressor was new last year. The paint is in good shape, NO door dings! The only notable engine upgrades are an MSD ignition system and an American Thunder exhaust system. The exhaust sounds awesome. Louder than stock, but not too loud or raspy like some exhaust systems. It's been properly maintained all its life, so there are no issues, no excuses, and no surprises for the next owner. The 5-speed shifts crisply and the suspension, which was specially tuned for this Cobra, rides remarkably well for the performance levels it offers. Big 13-inch slotted & drilled disc brakes are part of the deal as well, giving this Cobra world-class performance that is more than a match for its horsepower. The new tires & rims have roughly 1,200 miles on them so they are essentially new. The tires are the widest I could go without rubbing. This Cobra is being advertised Nationally and Locally so I reserve the right to cancel without notice.
