1994 Cobra, rio red w/ black cloth interior, completely stock, 66,xxx miles, no paint/bodywork has ever been done to the car, runs perfectly, $10,000.00
It has the usual options (Mach 460, keyless entry, power seat, defroster, etc.). The only option it doesn't have is leather - which makes it 1 of 333 w/ the red/black cloth combo.
Speaking of the cloth, the interior is in great condition. There are no rips and no stains. It still has the original Cobra mats, but there is a heal mark worn through the drivers mat, but not the rug itself.
The paint is in overall good condition. I think it could benefit from being buffed and waxed - it looks good now, but that would really make it shine. (I've made tentative arrangements with the professional detailer I use, but I've been covered up, so it is hard to get it scheduled.) It has a few scratches close to the fog lights. It also has three or four small paint chips (one of which is a small ding) from careless people parking next to it. Those were picked up when the previous owner owned it; I always park far enough away so that no one can hit it. I've made the paint sound worse than it is; but I'd rather everything is known up front. The car has been involved in no accidents and no paint or bodywork has been done to it.
The CD player has been acting up lately, but everything else works just fine (the a/c blows cold, power windows work, power seat works, trunk release works, etc.).
Before I bought the car, I took it to a respected mechanic at a local Ford Dealership. I paid for an hour of his time to go over the car thoroughly. He gave it a "clean bill of health." He was surprised at how clean it was and that it hadn't been modified at all - not even a K&N. (As a side note, when he put it up on the lift, I was very surprised at how good it looked underneath - I expected to see a good amount of grime, but it was exceptionally clean.)
The reason I call it "Granny's Cobra" is because I bought the car from its original owner; a 56yr old grandmother. She bought it new for her 50th birthday and drove it up until she sold it to me. She actually lives close to me and we park in the same parking garage in Downtown Knoxville, so I've watched the car for years. (She really is a nice lady, too.)
The only reason I am selling is because it looks like I will be buying a friend's car - otherwise, I'm very happy with it. It is my daily driver and I've found it to be very reliable. I haven't had one problem with it - <knock on wood>.
In short (if it is still possible to make it short after typing all of this), I think it is exactly what you would expect to see from a 94 Cobra that has been maintained, not abused and used as a daily driver.
The car is located in Knoxville, TN.

Thanks for the long read.
