Factory spoiler has been moved back ~4”

Retail price for all “mods” included with the car total up to $15,191.81

Now, keep in mind that I did not pay full retail price for everything on the car, but you can see what It might cost do build the exact same setup if you did indeed have to pay retail or close to retail for everything. Also take into account that there is NO labor prices listed anywhere on here, so expect to add quite a bit more to the “build cost” if had to pay to have any of it done professionally. Some of the things I installed myself, some of the things I had to pay to get done.

The car is in pristine condition with ~54,000 miles on her, the car has NEVER seen snow or salt and was caught in the rain once for about 10 miles. The next day the underside of the car was fully detailed and dried as was any other part of the car that might have been hit by rain.

The car runs incredibly strong and has had it’s oil changed no more than every 2500 miles. The car has also been a Full Synthetic Mobil 1 car since brand new also. I have every receipt, service write-up, certificate, original window sticker, owner’s manual, 2 sets of keys, the 1999 Cobra Booklet you get from the dealership, etc, you name it, on this car. (a large, over-flowing and fat Fed-Ex envelope full of info on the car) While the car does have an NX Wet n2o system installed on it, the car has NEVER been sprayed. The car ran high 12’s with the previous owner, while still equipped with the IRS and on street tires (Kumho 245-45-17) but he was kind enough to keep the time slips and dyno runs for his own sentimental reasons. Who knows what the car is capable of now? I do NOT have time slips of my own to confirm these numbers.

There are no rips and very few wrinkles in the leather. Nearly every person that has seen the inside of my car has commented on how they can’t believe what good shape my interior is in. The interior has ZERO burn marks anywhere in the car and the ashtray and factory cigarette lighter have NEVER been used. The car also comes with the factory, Grey painted, Alloy 5-star SVT wheels with brand new 265-xx-17 Nitto Drag Radials mounted on the rear wheels and 245-45-17 Kuhmo tires with 75% tread left mounted on the front wheels. You’ll be hard pressed to find a 1999 Cobra in this good of shape and this well taken car of anywhere.

What do you think this car might sell for? And do you know anybody who might be interested?
