I'm gonna go ahead and apologize for the long ad. Sorry. I appreciate honesty when buying something and like to return the favor. So, up for sale is my 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra coupe. It's been a great car and a lot of fun but I'm ready for another project.

The original motor was just recently built as this is my 'fast' car, my weekend/toy car. Less than 2K miles on the motor (paperwork available)!

Motor specs and additions:
Kellogg 8 bolt forged crank
Eagle 4340 H-beam rods
Clevite bearings
Diamond pistons
ARP main studs
ARP side bolts
ARP head studs
FelPro head gasket, timing chain, and rear main seal gasket
Ford Racing timing chain kit
3 angle valve job, hot tank, resurfaced heads, and replaced valve seals
Comp Cams
CAI with new air filter
MAC LT headers
MAC O/R H-pipe
Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers
FRPP 4.10 gears
Steeda Tri-Ax shifter
H&R SS lowering springs
18x9/10 anthracite FR500 wheels (245s up front, 295s out back)
Tinted windows
Black 14" shorty antenna
Ford-style Fast emblem
Smoked headlights and taillights
Power racing seats

It has about 160K miles on the body but again, less than 2K miles on the motor. It looks real good for it's age and the miles and runs really strong! No dents or dings that I'm aware of, just minor places in the paint that comes with 160K miles and 16 years of driving.

It will need tires and to have a slight exhaust leak taken care of, but for what you're getting it's still a steal at this price. The speedometer reads faster than actual because of the rear gear change and the odometer was unplugged so as not to run the miles up that much faster because of the fast-reading speedometer. Mileage is stuck at 157,188, but I guesstimate it to be 160-161K miles if that. It was in the shop from about December to June (I bought it November 2012) so I haven't had the chance to drive it much. The air is stuck to only blowing through the defrost vents. I don't know why but I'm looking into it and trying to fix it before selling. These problems are also why the price is so low.

I have A LOT of money in this car, so the $5,100 asking price is my absolute rock bottom non-negotiable price. Payoff on the car is $5,090.22. That's actually what I'd take for it but it's easier to just put $5,100. NADA Clean Retail (which is what banks use for loans, not KBB) is over $7,000! The car is 100% mechanically, I just have to sell it before I start on something else. $5,100 non-negotiable, no trades. Call or text me at (336) 257-9623.

I wish I could trade but because I owe on it and because the wifey needs a new car that's just not feasible. Thanks for the offer and interest though.

BUMP!

I know there's not an outstanding number of Mustang guys here, but this car is respectably fast and dirt cheap! With a little more time and money there's an easy $2K+ profit to be made!

$5,100 firm.
