    If you have an auto trans, you should have a cooler IMHO.

    Anyone have a tissue?... Eleanor....

    It's got a great drivetrain and supporting components, but I've never cared for the looks of this car. :shrug: I'd rather have a stock '67 or '68 fastback exterior with the internals in this car. Now that would be sweet. Just me, I'm old school (and old). YMMV

    VA Emissions

    According to the VA DMV site emissions inspections are only good for 2 years. Here's the link http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/emissions.asp If you want more specific info on what's tested you can go to this link http://www.deq.virginia.gov/mobile/homepage.html In a...

    Drove a 99 Cobra vert today

    At 4,500 rpm's you're just getting into the power band, so it would feel slow, even more so if it has stock rear gears. Between there and 6,500 is where you'll really feel the power, especially in the lower gears. However, 18K seems like a bunch of money for a 99 with those miles and poor...

    If you won, would you take a genuine '65 Sheby GT 350H or $100,000 in cash?

    Yep, I didn't factor that in at all. Takes all of the joy out of winning something like this doesn't it...

    If you won, would you take a genuine '65 Sheby GT 350H or $100,000 in cash?

    The IRS is going to want roughly 35% - 40% of whatever you get. Been there, done that. If the car is valued at $250,000 then you'll have to pay $87,500 in taxes (at 35%). If you take the $100,000 cash, you'll pay $35,000 in taxes (again, at 35%). Plus, if you take the cash you'll actually...

    Please snap pic of 01 cobra fuse box cover?

    I just checked and there's nothing on the cover that tells you what fuse does what. It's just a plastic cover with no markings. If you have an owners manual for an '01 Mustang look at pages 131-134 for info on the fuses. I tried taking pictures of the manual but they aren't readable, the...

    Clock Spring replacement??????

    I paid to have mine replaced a year or so ago and the parts cost was $62. Of course I got raped on the labor charges, so the total bill was about $300. Reading through a service manual it appears all you have to do to replace it is disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, remove the airbag...

    Granatelli coil pack question

    I'd swear this got beaten to death in another thread but I can't find it. You might want to do some searches. I'm sure it's been covered before.

    Went to a car show today... (DUW)

    I remember when Pinto's were new and was pretty sure the mustard yellow car in the background of the one pic was a Pinto. Did some Google searches and that's gotta be a 71 or 72 Pinto. Maverick front ends were different. fidstang, Pintos and Mavericks are both from way before Fox bodies...

    Poor Mustang, and then they just kept on comin'

    I just saw this today on Spike TV. Apparently the guy filiming it was a reporter out there for another story who just happened to at the right place at the wrong (or maybe right) time. He tried to flash his camera lights at oncoming cars and called 911 to get the cops to respond but they...

    96 Bronco Soft top ??...

    The '92 and later Bronco's came with a center mount tail light. Legally the companies can't sell or advertise a product that doesn't incorporate one. Since a soft top completely eliminates this light, they don't/can't/won't claim their product fits. The 92's and above also had padding on the...

    Should i sell my 99 cobra in favor of a porsche boxster??

    My brother has a Boxster and I kick his a** in the quarter mile and in traffic where a quick burst of speed is required. The Boxster simply doesn't have the torque to keep up. However, get out on a tight twisty road and he eats me up. I'm not sure anyone can throw enough money at the Cobra...

    Cobra ID VIN

    Can't say for sure. If you're buying a used car then I recommend paying the money and running it through Carfax. May not turn up every problem, but it will verify if it's a Cobra or not and might turn up a couple of other issues you would like to know about.
