ORIGINAL: 04BlueGT

Take a close look at the engine. Does anyone else think that it is canted to the passenger side? I'm thinking broken motor mount, because it looks way off to me.

However, I have not peeked under the hoods of many '97s, so maybe it's natural?
Now that you mention it, I notice that too. Just look how off-set the Pony emblem on the intake is. I was about to email him again but the auction already ended. It ended at 2 grand which is still a good buy for the GT that it is. He suggested to run the VIN which I did.

VIN Number:
1FALP42X7VF127932

1FA Ford Motor Co.
L Restraint System (L-air bags & active belts)
P Passenger Car
4 Body Code (40 - 2dr, 42 - 2dr GT, 44 - 2dr Convertible, 45 - GT Convertible 46 - Cobra Convertible, 47 - Cobra Coupe)
X 4.6L SOHC EFI V-8 215hp (where V 4.6L DOHC EFI V-8 305hp (SVT Cobra))
V Year (V - 1997)
F Plant (F - Dearborn)
000001 Consecutive Unit Number

2 grand aint bad but I feel sorry for the person who bought it. If it is a broken motor mount I hope theres no subframe damage

I just sent him the following:

I happen to be searching ebay for a Mustang and I saw your listing. I don't know if you know much about Mustangs but thats not a Cobra. You have GT badges, GT on the rear bumper, GT front bumper and most of all, a GT engine. The only thing that is cobra are the aftermarket rims. The tires, and engine dress up (hoses) do not make it a cobra. I just wanted to let you know so you don't look like a fool. Hope it helps.

I didn't want to be too mean cuz its probably a 16 year old kid.. What a nub though.. [sm=bangbang.gif]

WOW, I guess those COBRA tires are better than GT tires! And I didnt realize that recaro made the cloth seats standard in all GT COBRA models. HMMM looks just like my seats. The real problem here is someone actually bidding on this car.
One thing though.. cloth was standard on all SN cobra's.. leather was an option.


But that guy is just a tard... like the guys who claim to have a s/c GT.. and all you can see is a plain i'l CAI.

I was thinking this also. Did anyone notice this in the correction? "you can also check the vin# under any car sight to verify. " Yea..I go to web "sights" all the time[8D]

"just because the svt badge fell off doesnt make it not a cobra." Now I'm no english major, but that sentence doesnt seem correct. Seeing this was pretty nice actually, look at all the fun we had! It makes looking at Mustangs on ebay more entertaining now, I'm going to go along and look for more mistakes now hehe.

I'm sure he got enough crap about this on ebay as it is... the ebay sight even says that he stopped the bidding because of an error in the information.
