Shocker, let me ask you this. What do you plan on doing with the car?

Me personally, I would have a hard time taking a 99 for 3 simple reasons.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, only 01's offer Mineral Grey, I was thinking about getting an 03 up until the point that the stopped making mineral grey (DS is not the same)
I like the smoked headlights and cobra bumper but both could be easily swapped
I like the seats much better than the 99, but if I had a 99, I would get the light weight Corbeau (sp?) VX2000 seats that look just like the 01's, but are a ton ligher, and they are racing seats.

so basically, I ask again, what do you plan on doing with the car, because some of the differences are easily modifiable.(is that a word?)

Shocker6689 · 04-18-2004, 08:00 PM

Good point, i never really thought of it that way. I can swap out parts on a 99' to make it look more like a 01'. I do want the cobra bumber and smoked head lights. Thanks

**cobrabitn** · 04-18-2004, 09:22 PM

Yes, it is for sale... $16,900.00 OBO.

Thanks,

Tony

How many miles. And where would the best place be to buy lights, body kits, seats, mainly cosmetic stuff for a 99 or 01 cobra?

**cobrabitn** · 04-18-2004, 10:16 PM

It has 25,500 miles on it and I recommend Late Model Restoration for your aftermarket parts. See banner above or go to www.50resto.com

Shocker6689 · 04-19-2004, 11:43 PM

Cobrabitn, have you gotten any offers for your car yet?? Im almost done with school, I could come out and take a look at it sometime in early May. Let me know.

**cobrabitn** · 04-19-2004, 11:46 PM

I'm going to be honest with you. I talked to two people today about the 99 and 2 people about the 94 Cobra this weekend. I will sell either one of them to the first person that buys one from me. If I still have the 99 in May, you are more then welcome to drop by and have a look. Which ever one sells first, will determine which one I will keep with the other two Cobras I have.

Shocker6689 · 04-22-2004, 04:06 PM

I think im going to head towards an 01 thats black. Correct me if im wrong, all the 01s have a bumper that says cobra and cobras on the seats and rugs right?

**cobrabitn** · 04-22-2004, 09:53 PM

No snakes on the carpet, that is an aftermarket thing. Cobra on the bumper and snakes on the seats though!

Shocker6689 · 04-26-2004, 05:47 PM

I am going to get a black on black 01' Cobra. I have been looking around and surprisingly I have found a few of them to choose from. I will not be racing this cobra, but yeah ill have my fun with it. How much does a hard-top weigh in comparison to a convertible. If for some reason I do want to upgrade the engine and make it faster will the weight factor come into play? And no as of now I do not have a preference on a hard-top or convertible.

**97whitevert** · 04-26-2004, 05:54 PM

coupe is lighter than the vert...

Shocker6689 · 04-26-2004, 07:53 PM

I did know that the convertible was heavier. I was asking how much heavier, like an actual weight. Oh yeah and where can you get those aftermarket cobra rugs and cosmetic cobra stuff? Thanks for your replies

**cobrabitn** · 04-26-2004, 10:13 PM

99 Cobra sold last Friday.

I guess I am just going to have to live with three?

I believe it is 200-250 lbs heavier for a vert. You can get the cobra rugs from http://secure.50resto.com/product1.c...tegory_ID=1128

As far as cosmetic stuff, what specifically do you want? As far as interior accent pieces, http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang.html is the place to get them. George's parts surpass any of his competition. But you better hurry, because Ford just pulled their licensing from the aftermarket, so he will no longer be able to use official ford logo's on his products.

that sucks Tony, did you talk the buyer into joining the club?

**cobrabitn** · 04-27-2004, 07:58 AM

I gave the buyer an application and told him about the club. I'll let him make up his own mind to join for reasons not to be discussed on this BB.

Thanks,

Tony
