My loss, somebody's gain.  I am selling a flawless 2004 SVT Cobra, aka the "Terminator".  Supercharged 4.6L.  It is the highly desirable Competition Orange, the rarest color produced and only available in 2004.  Of 3768 Cobras made in 2004, only 281 were Competition Orange.  Exterior is flawless.  No rock chips, no dings.  Beautiful, as-new clear coat.  Clean, detailed engine bay.  Turns heads everywhere I've been.  You know what this car is, and I'll skip the technical issues. I am the second owner.


Interior in VG condition.  There is some visible, normal wear to driver's seat. Carpet is excellent, but carpet "cobra mat" on driver's side shows wear.

Here's the sad but true story: I am a collector.  I purchased the car on April 20 last month, after looking for some time for an excellent condition, unmodified Comp Orange '04 Cobra.  I paid $24,900.  The price was non-negotiable by seller.  I tried to get a lower price, and I was paying cash, but no success.  So maybe I paid a high price, but it seemed in the mid-to-upper range of what these cars sell for, not taking into account the value for the rare color.  And the car looked fantastic and drove great.  It had 54,758 miles.  I drove it 350 miles to my home in Virginia, and have added another 450 miles.

Then, a little over a week ago the unexpected happened--I found a 2004 Comp Orange Cobra Convertible for sale, the rarest of the 03-04 cars.  Only 71 were made.  I've been looking for one of these, in stock condition, for some time.  I struck a deal immediately (for a higher price than my coupe).  This convertible will be delivered in two weeks, and I need to make space for it.  I have over 15 cars, and there is just no more garage space. 

I installed new OEM headlights and taillights for VA state inspection.  The car had tinted lens and would not pass VA state inspection.  Cost was around $680.  I have added a OEM license plate holder to front bumper, per VA dual-plate requirements.  

I am selling this car with a low reserve.  It is one of those opportunities to pick up a great deal because the seller (me) has to let it go.  

There are many photos, taken at locations where I have different homes.  The car is located in Luray, VA area.  The title is clean with no liens.

The fuel mileage is rated at 17 city and 24 highway, which is phenomenal considering the performance.  There is a great book--Iron Fist, Lead Foot--about the SVT team and the making of the 2003-04 Terminator.  It is a great story, and the rarity of the 2003-04 Cobras becomes very evident.  As you probably know, these engines were hand-built by teams of two people at the Romeo, MI Ford plant.  

A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours of a winning bid.  Thank you.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
