First, thank you for taking the time to examine my 2003 Dark Shadow Gray Cobra convertible.  In truth this is my second go-around with one of these, and I’m not prepared to state it’ll be my last.  :)  It helps to have a great friend who owns Maximum Velocity Performance in San Antonio.  Too bad I never let Tracy modify the engine!  Please note I’ve not been one to beat on my cars, and I purchased this convertible as a cruiser, if you will.  I guess with middle-age does come some wisdom!

 

So…to the nuts-and-bolts of the auction.  If one is looking at a 2003 Cobra then it’s usually safe to say that he or she already knows about the options and specifics.  The car does have factory chrome wheels which are neither rashed nor peeling.  It will also come with the regular floor mats as well as the Cobra-Embroidered show-mats.  Beyond that it’s about condition and history…

 

I purchased the car in September of 2010 with 17,307 miles after hiring an outside inspection company to put the car on a lift and examine it.  The car currently sits with only 41k miles, as until recently I lived two blocks from work.  With a promotion came a commute and these cars can be harsh to drive in rush-hour traffic.  I’ve elected to purchase a more comfortable SHO and I don’t have enough free time to enjoy a second car.  History of the Cobra shows it has never been in an accident. 

 

If I forget some details please do not hesitate to ask questions as undoubtedly I’ll leave something out.

 

No front license plate bracket.  :)

 

In the nearly four years I’ve been the owner there have been no breakdowns.  New brake pads and rotors were just put on this past month.  A drained battery led to an inevitability amongst Cobras…the alternator was going, so it was replaced along with the battery.  The TOB (Throwout Bearing) was starting to chatter so I ordered an entirely new clutch assembly from American Muscle and took the car to Maximum Velocity.  Since I was taking the transmission down I’d intended on just putting the new clutch in since the car had 41k miles.  The mechanic stated the clutch still had 20-30k miles left before it needed to be replaced so I just left it in the car. 

***The car will come with a completely new clutch assembly still in the box as part of the sale.  My gift to you.***

There are two “mods” on the car, such as they are:

1)       I did go ahead and have the adjustable clutch quadrant put in when I had the transmission down.

2)      The stock exhaust system was replaced with Borla Stingers, as the car needed a more pronounced note.

That’s it.  Never tuned, never pullied, not even a cold air intake.  Beyond the sound note I wanted, the car was to retain its stock profile.

 

Imperfections or wear…

Keeping in mind the car is in excellent mechanical working condition both under the hood and out with all possible items functioning, there are no perfect cars.  I’ve made every attempt to show wear in the pictures.  A little wear on the drivers seat, a paint chip on the hood, a little hazing on the headlights, a tiny nick behind the driver’s door…that’s it…normal wear for a twelve year old vehicle.  New tires were put on the car when I purchased it, so while they still have some miles remaining on them, they aren’t new.  Nitto 275’s are on the wheels.

 

If there are any questions or inquiries please do not hesitate to ask.  The car is for sale locally so if my price is met the car can be sold. 

Thanks for looking.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
