:::UPDATED:::Finalized pics on bottom of page 2


Hey guys. I recently got real fortunate on a great find about a month ago. I am so called a pricetaker, im always searching and finding killer deals and love finding gems.

This gem was a 1998 svt cobra. Completely unmolested, 43k original miles, great condition. I hear these things run 13.6-13.9 all day bone stock. Only issue was clearcoat peeling and paint fade, rotors corroded from sitting, flat spots in tires, old gasoline, etc, but no rust whatsoever, also undercarriage was sprayed with sometype of protective coating.

So far I have done to this fine automobile...
brake fluid/power steering fluid service
three oil changes within 2k miles to make sure any old gunk is out of there.
fully repainted exterior, except door jams, car was previously black. 3 coats clear/base "ua"
eibach lowering springs
slp loudmouth I catback
17x10.5 & 17x9 cobra style wheels. fronts are on backorder :(
315 Nitto 555r DR's
new headlight/cornerlight housing
misc accessories.

To come
fuel filter
spark plugs
tranny service
4.30 frpp
offroad xpipe
jlt cai
...goal is 12 seconds with a good 60'

You say that like it's a disclaimer that the pictures will be of poor quality. ;)
But, I know the truth as a fellow Evo owner.

But seriously, that is a sweet looking car. The paint job looks great and I love the look of the SN95s without the rear wing.

Just noticed that the front wheels look like stock '98 Cobras and the rears are some deep dish version. Have you decided on a final wheel & tire combo or are you cool with that?

[Egon Spengler]

Looks good but needs a girl d***** over the hood of it!

[AConvertedChevy]

You sir, are a Baaaaaaaaaaaaaad Man lol
sick stang my friend:beer:

[Got_1]

Thanks bro! haha no the front wheels are on backorder :(!! I wouldnt do that to my baby!

[johnnyrauder]

how much did that gem cost you, an that paint job looks cherry. looks great next to the marauder...

[guccijayda]

cost me 8 grand! I could easily sell this bad boy for 11+grand but i will cherish every bit and piece of this candy! Thanks! yes they look great together.. Would seriously look like brothers if i put the ss bumper inserts on the rauder too lol

[freakstatus]

Love the look without the spoiler as well. I've always loved the look of a properly done SN95. Good job. Can I ask how much the paint set you back?

But I see that the Marauder gets kicked to the grass though...?:shake:

[LIGHTNIN1]

You already have me wanting one as a stepchild. Great looking car sir.

haha I just parked the marauder for a lil bit there because I always have to switch the cars around cus its a traffic jam in my driveway. I had one of my friend paint it for 1 grand, no jams. Thanks bro I can't wait to see the finalized look once the front rims come in! I'll def post pics as soon as i do. I wanted to get all the cosmetics on point so then I can be happy to make it go fast!

So did you fill the trunk holes from the spoiler or go with a new trunk lid ?

[Linkin]

that clear looks a foot deep

Why are you selling?

[Joe Walsh]

That Cobra looks awesome Tony!

I was going to ask how you managed to revive that wasted paint...then I read that you had it repainted.
It really looks sweet with the later model Cobra rims...:2thumbs:

[guccijayda]

keen eye brother

[RR|Suki]

cute kids man, good luck with the sale

[guccijayda]

Thanks suki that is malik, tracy and trina left to right. I will post an ad on svt performance also for the sale, maybe post it f.s. on here too. I really want it to goto a great owner, becauseI was def not planning to sell it... cobra or the marauder, and the marauder will ALWAYS be here to stay... still a dissapointment for me to let this cobra go.
