I doubt it'll make it to my area, but you never know. I sure as hell will keep an eye out for it just in case though.

Sorry for the delay. Plate number is (was) TX. Z98-OJZ

The color is actually one-of-a-kind....it was painted with Dupont Chromabase Metallic...ice blue, with blue pearl added. It's a very brilliant blue in the sunlight....really stands out.

Some of the stuff that may show up for sale...

- Blue glove box door that it signed in silver paint pen by Carroll Shelby
- Vortech (V1) S-Trim, it had a 2.95 pulley on it that was anodized sort of a purple color, and the pulley has a silver scrape all the way around the front edge. The charger also had a -4 braided oil line, instead of the red hose that came with it new.
- SVO Aluminum heads
- 1.7 Crane/Cobra Roller Rockers
- Old style Edelbrock Performer 5.0 intake - it is heavily ported, can still see some of the machinest blue ink near the ports - it also has allen head bolts that hold the side cover on, all but 1 - one bolt is a normal style 6-point head...it was on the back bottom corner.
- Pro-M 80mm MAF
- Pro-M MAF Optimizer (black box with 2 ***** on it and connectors for DVOM)
- MSD 6AL (red) and MSD/Vortech Boost retard (blue) - both mounted to a customer aluminum plate.
- Car had the complete Ford Racing Cobra/5-lug conversion on it....13" rotors on front with PBR calipers that say "Cobra" on them.....12" rear brake rotors.
- Had Tokico 5-way adjustable shocks and struts
- H&R Road race springs (red in color)
- Emptied catalog from Maximum Motorsports (all control arms, caster/camber plates, etc, etc)

There's tons of other stuff, too much to list here....but this is the stuff that is likely to show up somewhere.

The motor has only been together since mid Feb...still had some tuning to do on it, but last time on the dyno it made just over 420rwhp....so someone may decide to have some fun with it first....or perhaps they would be dumb enough to drop the whole motor in another car.

Thanks to everyone for the support!

here's another picture of it in the sunlight, to give you an idea of the paint color....camera still didn't do it justice, but you get the idea. It did have Cobra R's on it when stolen....the Racelines were taken off last year....so was the Powertour sticker on the windshield.
