Default 1997 Cobra, just appraised!! low miles, excellent condition

Year: 1997
Make: Ford

Mileage: 52000
Color: Pacific Green

Fresh pre-purchase inspection and appraisal at $28,000.
Must sell soon.
Looking for one reasonable offer.

With just three owners from new and only 52,000 original miles, this Pacific Green Cobra looks to have been never been raced or abused. The paint is in decent condition. This car has been well-kept-that's a rare find indeed. It was obviously garage kept. The headlights, trim and window seals are not oxidized. It's all good. No corrosion anywhere.

It's shockingly well-preserved, looking like it's five years old, not 20, suggesting that someone really loved this car. It hasn't been wrecked or raced or abused. The SN95 shape has aged rather well and for many, it still represents the archetypal Mustang. Cobras were luxurious inside, offering genuine leather buckets and just about every option Ford could throw into them. The tan upholstery in this car gives it an upscale look and the hides are very nicely preserved, with no tears. The fat Custom leather-wrapped steering wheel looks and feels great. Everything was standard, including A/C, power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise control, a rear defroster, and a decent-sounding AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system, and it all works like it should. You also get a back seat that's actually usable and a good-sized trunk that looks like it's never been used.
The paint is in good shape, NO door dings!

The only notable engine upgrades are an MSD ignition system (coils & wires) and an American Thunder exhaust system. The exhaust sounds awesome. Louder than stock, but not too loud or raspy like some exhaust systems. It's been properly maintained all its life, so there are no issues, no excuses, and no surprises for the next owner. The 5-speed shifts crisply and the suspension, which was specially tuned for this Cobra, rides remarkably well for the performance levels it offers. Big 13-inch slotted & drilled disc brakes are part of the deal as well, giving this Cobra world-class performance that is more than a match for its horsepower. The new tires & rims have roughly 1,200 miles on them so they are essentially new. The tires are the widest I could go without rubbing.

Sequential Tail lights
Bassani Stainless head pipe with high flow Catalytic Converters
American Thunder Stainless exhaust system by FlowMaster
