FS: Rare 98 Cobra Convertible
SOLD
I know the chances of someone on this forum seeing this and being interested are slim... But doesn't hurt
The time has finally come for me to sell my 1998 Cobra Convertible in the beautiful Bright Atlantic Blue. (1 of 227 ever made in this color)
I have owned this car for over 6.5 years now and simply don't drive it. I would love to hold onto it forever but it just doesn't make sense.
It was almost 100% stock when I bought it and I was pretty heavy into dedicating all my time and energy into it for the first 2-3 years... But since getting a fun DD and then 1.5 years ago getting a 13 GT500 I have come to realize it had been nearly 3 years since I bought anything for it (until recently to prepare it for sale).
Everything works as it should, A/C is cold, heat is hot, and I would feel confident driving it anywhere. However, I wouldn't for fear of rain (this car has NEVER seen rain in the entire time I have owned it)
I just finished having it professionally detailed top to bottom including Adams Polishes paint correction. The Paint looks absolutely stunning. Given its age and miles people are dumb founded when I tell them its almost all original paint.
Included in the sale of the vehicle will be a thumb drive with over 300 photos taken over the years of the vehicle in different stages, and different mods being installed.
Also included is "the book". With every single receipt, purchase order, item details and description of every item weather mod or replacement from the day I purchased the vehicle... totaling over $21,000 not including the price of the vehicle.

I am 100% sure I am forgetting items, but that is the benefit of the “the book” for you to be able to review when items were purchased and installed.
This a solid built Car that turns heads and is a blast to drive.
It was tuned with SCT software by Lee Blankenship and is begging for boost.
On its 8.5:1 CR engine it made 281RWHP, 304 RWTQ N/A and on a 100 Shot it made 360 RWHP, 424 RWTQ.
It currently has the jets for a 125 shot installed… To be honest I never raced anyone with the N20 and really only cruise with the car if the weather is perfect. It has never been to the drag strip, although at 1 time I did have slicks and skinnies for the car (loved the look).
The car has just under 96k on the chassis and 7-8k on the engine/ transmission. I simply just don’t drive the car.
I am located in the Louisville area and can travel within reason to deliver the car.
The price is $13,900 and no trades please.
Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions and come look the car over yourself.
It is in great shape (as the photos indicate) but it is definitely not perfect due to its age.
Thanks
