ohhh pretty cobra.. but cloth? I'd swap it out lol. I'm particular to leather myself. Also I never liked the 96-97 cobra rims much either.

Beautiful car though, immaculately clean. Which of the two do you find yourself driving more?

I have a 97...they're not the best, but they're ok. What did the 98 wheels look like? Five spoke typical cobras or something else? I can't recall. Thanks

i think i might talk to mills more...thats a way cleaner cobra then at the dealer! and imo, cloth>leather. i dont like burnin my butt(vinyl in the chevelle takes care of that[:@]). Does it have any mods to it? looks like a catback...

but somegood news- im starting to get interest in my sixxer. bad news- i wont get as much as i hoped. so less mod money(guess ill have to keep my tax return a seecret so i can afford a short throw)

Not the best? They're certainly no terminator, but I love my 97 reguardless.

With the right mods, they can look mean as hell, sound mean, and be wickid fast.

As for the rims, they might be the same, but there was also a 98 cobra that looks like my old ones in my sig pic. So I didnt want to say 98 just in case.

oh and mills where do u live?
Atlanta area.....I see you're from West Chester.....I'm originally from the Burgh!

Beautiful car though, immaculately clean. Which of the two do you find yourself driving more?
Thanks for the props....definitely drive the Cobra more, it's my daily driver to work and back. You are right about the wheels....96-97 had my wheels stock....98's had thinner five stars. I'm a big fan of the 98 wheels....so much so that I had the dealership where I bought mine throw the 98 wheels in at their cost. Only problem was,the dealershipwas 140 miles from where I lived and I never drove back over to cash in on the agreement[:'(].

Nothing but a K&N airfilter and the old-school Saleen pedals in the picture....otherwise stock.

Options are everything except leather (power seat, mirrors, etc....).

History is clean title; I am the second owner with the first owner having put 35,700 miles on it before trade-in in 2001 and myself putting the rest on since then.Originally titled inTazwell, VA. After I bought it, itsaw a Chalseton, WV winter (or lack there of; parked when it snowed) and was parked during the winterafter I moved back to Pittsburgh the next year.

It was my first Mustang.....so I took care of it accordingly. I hate to see it go, but baby seats don't go well ineither of theMustangs, so one has to go [X(][:'(][:@][].
