mine is not pretty it needs a general refreshing, and i will start a thread at that time. pics will be included.
HERE IS A PIC
the car looks tired but is all there. am rounding up parts for the refresh.
thank you, its the first cobra i have owned. oddly enough. would have thought i would have had a 03 or 04 first. but why not start with something rare. am working on getting another car right now and i think i will have to slow down and do some resto work. also think i will be letting a few that i have, hit the road to someone else that would like them as much as i do. am refining my desired rides.

Anyone know the whereabouts of this car by chance?I want to see pic's of this Jade Green beauty! Does it look like this one?
I am fairly certain it is the obscenely low mileage 79 that was originally from Michigan. 2.3T/4-Speed. My uncle was the original owner, who sold it to my father in the mid-80s. We sold it in the mid-90s to a buy in Brighton/Howell, MI and he threw it on eBay around 5 or 6 years ago. IIRC, he moved?
Some of my earliest memories as a kid were in that car.
here's a couple of my 81 cobra
Current: 81 Cobra T Top, 79 Cobra.
Past Toys: 1964 Falcon Vert, 1966 Mustang(owned twice), 70 Conv, 1978 Mustang II(first car), 80 Cobra, 81 Cobra, 82 GT T-Top, 85 GT 3,900 miles, 85 Predator/Twister 5S-0149, 86 Saleen 177, 86 SVO, 86 Mustang GT, 86 Mustang GT Vert, 87 Mustang GT, 89 Mustang Notch, 2003 Mustang GT Roush Clone, 2006 Mustang V6(Stainless Works LT's, MBRP cat back, 3.73's, tb, cai), and my favorite 2002 Mustang GT MPH 302 stroker, KB 2.2, TKO 500 640rwhp/591torque.
It was for sale in Knox, Indiana, years ago. It had 33k miles on it and was selling for $7500. My numbers are close (maybe not dead on) but I missed out on it by a couple of weeks. I never knew what happened to it after that.
2017 Lincoln MKZ AWD
2003 Town Car
2017 GTI
Currently Foxless
Talked to my dad the other day. We sold it for $6500 in 96 or 97 with a little over 2100 miles. He had it for sale up here in Brighton and moved down to Indiana apparently, which goes along with what I thought originally.
I think your cobras fantastic,if your hood scoop was black like mine,it would help your snake pop out instead of blending.Just a thought.
