That's twice I have seen this cobra reposted. There's no way this is a real R, although it does appear to all be correct. Or these aren't the pictures of the car. Or that's not the correct price.

"This Mustang Cobra is equipped with luxury saddle cloth seating front bucket seats, tilt wheel, sport steering wheel, power mirrors, digital clock, floor mats, center console/armrest and much more. This collectable is loaded and ready to go.

I have just given this "beast" new tires and battery. Other than that, it's all original ... never been raced, modified or abused. These "R's" are getting extremely hard to get and the condition of this one, at the price I'm asking, is truly a find. "

It's a scam - That same description and pictures were on CL here in Houston a few days ago.

I once found a real one for 9K. :shock: It was on craigslist, about 3 hours away. He said it hadn't ran in years, and knowing the fuel cell he recommended it being redone before attempting to start it. I didn't have access to the money that second, so I posted it on SVTP at about 4am as I went to bed. Someone saw the post at 7am, called the guy, wired the money, and had a transport pick it up and bring it from FL to MI.

More of the story is, ALWAYS have funds available. :(

"THE", I like it! lol.... but hey dude, yeah, it sucks I went thru all of that but I was weak and now I'm strong so it was for the better .... I've got a '95 Cobra I've been building. I'm in the middle of putting a Vortech on it right now, but been so busy it's gonna be down for a few weeks...

I've got some other footage of my old teal car I should put on youtube... me beating 2 SS carmaro's, and a built LT1 T/A... good times...

Glad to hear you're doing good,man. I cant tell you how many times I've looked at your teal video and wanting one so bad. Well I finally got one but in black, the color has grown on me. I want to eventually own all colors, but ill stick with my blk for a while. Get some videos of your 95 when it's finished too.

I wanted a black one before I bought my teal.... but then the teal grew on me.

My "Kenne Bell Cobra smoking turboed honda civic" video was like 160,000 views on youtube last time I checked, LOL! Ive got some good gopro video of me autocrossing my '95 (stock motor =| ) a couple weeks ago at RMMR '12, I'm waiting to collect some other footage from my friends and I'll make a cool youtube video...
