1995 Rio Red, Tan Leather Cobra with 96,000 miles

West Michigan

I bought this car from a buddy of mine and have done an extensive list of very tasteful mods and restoration items to it recently. This car is truly one of the cleanest SN-95’s I’ve come across; impeccably clean for a MI car. I’m the third owner, my buddy bought it from an older gentleman with 25,000 miles in 1999. My buddy stored it every winter and took immaculate care of it – you could eat of the underside of it – zero rust! I’d like to pursue building a new project for the NMRA so gauging interest in the Cobra. This car drives so beautifully and could easily be daily driven in its current state. You will not be disappointed; I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Working on more pictures so please forgive me.

New Painted Mirrors, Rocker Panels, Driver’s Door, Driver’s Rear Quarter Panel, and Rear Bumper. Professional Buff on all remaining body – This Car Looks New!

80 Percent of the exterior paint is original and extremely mint – hard to believe this is 17 year old paint. I had some dings taken care of because I’m so anal. The only non original paint is on the driver’s rear quarter, door, rear bumper, mirrors, and rocker panel plastic. If it wasn’t perfect, I had it redone. Everything else is Ford OEM. The match is absolutely phenomenal.
Like I said, just gauging interest so I can fund a new project. This car is the perfect driver, should run high 11’s on drag radials at 113-115 mph or so. Stone cold reliable, perfect compression on all cylinders, zero oil leaks and does not burn a drop of oil. It truly is the perfect foundation for any drag or autocross/road race project.

$11k obo, I have that into it in the last month.

Thanks,

Matt
