I know Chris a fellow member just sold one of these not too long ago, but this rare combo is nice sure wished it was a 5 speed though.
Needs a good detail job, kinda interested to see what this will bring.

A/C out at 9k miles.? is this common just from age?

A/C out at 9k miles.? is this common just from age?

A lot of owners that have very low-mileage cars like this rarely drive the car with the A/C running as they're typically used on nice days, for car shows, etc., etc. A/C systems will actually last longer if they're used on a more regular basis to keep the seals from drying out, etc. This car's A/C system likely lost its charge from lack of use. The seals likely dry rotted and the Freon leaked out long ago.

Moral of the story - even if you don't drive your Cobra very much or it never sees a rainy day or extremely hot day, etc., make sure you run the A/C on a regular basis anyway.
