RE: Buying a Cobra!!
Before you lay down your money, I'd advice you to read this info on my FAQ page relative to buying a used Cobra. It will helpinsure that you check the right things. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/2003_...m#_Toc35092330
One thing to remember. Unless you know the car or the seller, you have no guarantee how the car was driven, or what mods were on the car prior to it being put up for sale. If it has any mods at all (which it does in this case) there is a good chance it was raced, and maybe raced extensively. Even if the car were to be advertised as being "stock", it is very common for owners to demod their '03/'04 Cobra before selling it. So checking the car out carefully and asking the right questions is important. IMO it is always best to find a truly stock or near stock Cobra. The more extensive the mods, the more likely it has been driven/raced hard. Best of luck in your search.
