Sadly, I am selling my beloved 1998 Cobra to which I am the second owner. On March 7, I was hit across the front end by someone pulling across three lanes of traffic to get into a parking lot. Both airbags deployed, and the car was declared a total loss by the other party's insurance company, despite my desire to keep it under 80%. The main reason was they did not understand the scarcity of these cars, and rated it as a standard Mustang or GT, no matter how much I tried to educate them. My car has California Emissions with black leather interior, and there were only 8 of them made for this model year. The car has an intake, exhaust, upgraded suspension, Eibach lowering kits, and drilled rotors for the brakes. Transmission and differential fluids were just changed less than 6 months ago, as was the fuel pump. The bad is obvious... Dual airbag deployment, and front end damage. Currently the airbag light is on (Obviously), and it will turn off when the code is reset. The good is obvious as well. 77,066 original second owner mileage. Car runs and drives with no engine leaks at all since the radiator was not even punctured. Interior is in excellent condition (aside from dog hair). The car can be rebuilt and put back on the road if someone wants to take the time for this project. You will need to convert it to a rebuilt title. If I had the time and patience, and was not overseas on TDY all the time, I would repair it and continue to drive it because I love the car so much. I constantly get close to 400 miles out of a tank on the highway, and close to 275 in the city. I have new pair of single piece, wraparound crystal headlights for the car, as well as the headlights brace assembly for the car that I bought in anticipation of rebuilding my car. I have them available if anyone is interested, and they are all NIB. I also have a brand new OEM SVT wheel that is NIB at my house as well. Those are all available for the project if you would like to work out something on them so I do not have to list them on Ebay to sell. The car comes as is, where is. And you will need to make arrangements to pick the car up and ship the car from North Port, FL. The car will come with a Florida Salvage Title, and was last titled in Texas with me, and California before with the first owner. Please send any questions you have about the car BEFORE bidding.
