FS: HBH's 2003 Sonic Blue Cobra, 10K miles, 700+ HP, FULLY BUILT FRONT TO BACK! FS: HBH's 2003 Sonic Blue Cobra, 10K miles, 700+ HP, FULLY BUILT FRONT TO BACK!
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra
Sonic Blue exterior
Charcoal interior
10,2XX miles
-This was Hermann Stolzenberg's (owner and operator of Horsepower By Hermann in MD) personal car.
-This was THE first Terminator that was equipped with his factory looking 4R70W conversion.
This car has nothing but the best parts in it.
No corners cut and no expenses spared.
There is easily over $40,000 in modifications done to the car.
Car is not gutted, still has A/C, heat, all power options.....
I drive it any day that its not raining.
It idles like a rock and drives nice and smooth, this is not a track only car by any means.
This is a 9 second capable car that can be driven anywhere at anytime......

No lower offers considered, no comments about the price, or about the economy, or KBB prices, or any other BS at all PLEASE.

Price: $28,500 FIRM......read it again: FIRM
Preemptive warning:
If you offer anything below my posted price, I will:
A) if its a good day, ignore you
B) if its a bad day, probably send you an expletive filled email regarding your lack of reading comprehension
You now have fair warning......lol
Considering trades for the following:
***99-04 Lightning- FULLY BUILT - plus cash to me -

I will be very picky when and if it comes to trades, this is a really spectacular car and I will only trade for the same type of vehicle.
Cared for, meticulously maintained, super clean, well planned and installed mods, proven power, and the lower the mileage the better......
I CAN NOT and WILL NOT put any cash up for any trades, just an FYI right off the bat.
I also probably will not be able to travel more than a few hours out to do anything so keep this in mind please.
PLEASE be realistic for trades, if your /insert car or truck here/ is for sale at $22K, there is no way in hell it will be a straight up trade. Thank you in advance!

May be a little out there,
but I would also accept a trade for a "pro touring" type older musclecar.
AKA 60's Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang....
Would prefer a car with newer FI conversion, big brakes, etc....
NO RACE CARS!!

I am a jackass, whats your point??
You will notice that I said I made a mistake above and to move the post, reading comprehension once again for the win.
If you had kids with no money offering 22K for a car you are asking almost 30K for, you would get tired of it as well. Therefore this time around, I made it crystal clear to not waste my time.
If you are not interested in the car, feel free to PM with your complaints, thoughts, feelings, etc....thanks.

Again, unless someone is interested, feel free to keep your thoughts to yourself, or if you JUST HAVE TO TELL ME something about my car, please PM me.
I get that everyone thinks this is another discussion forum, but the fact is that this section is here for buying/selling/trading cars.....
Fact is, stock to mildly modified Cobras with lower mileage (sub 25K miles) are going for low 20's still. This has 10K miles on it, as well as every modification you can dream of.
If someone wants a car built right, they will buy it.
It will sit here and keep me happy until that time comes.....
Thanks

Most people, in an equal car, would be losing to this car then.......
I don't know how else to say this nicely-
If you aren't interested in the car, I am not interested in hearing your opinion, so please keep it to yourself or at least off of my for sale thread.

Nothing wrong with giving the low ballers a warning IMO. Lots of them on here. Car obviously has lots of money in it and good mods done. I dont personally know the seller but i own a cobra myself and appreciate the mods/money spent more than most because i know what it costs to build a car like this.
Its worth the asking price IMO.

Thanks!
Amazes me when they argue that the thing is worth 20K b/c a dealer run site says so.
This is definitely not the car for someone searching for the Cobra closest to book value, and I had hoped most would realize that.
I realized I was sadly mistaken when I posted this the first time about 5 months ago hence me not pushing it for months as I had to regain my sanity.
I always tell them to find me all the 5.0 foxbody coupes with low miles for "book" value of less than like $3k and I will buy them all faster than they can send them to me....
Simply put, some cars just don't fall into the category of KBB/NADA cars- Mustangs, Camaros, GN's, Supras, Vettes, etc......

You guys are as good as I was at reading when I posted.....lol
I already posted above to move it to the correct section, I guess I will have to PM a mod to get it moved quicker.

Yes to all!!
The car is actually damn quiet until you get on it, nice low rumble but then when you go WOT it opens up nicely.
The comp was only out at the time b/c I was waiting on the Predator to show up and we used a chip to tune for the time being. There was no reason to rip it all back out in a few days time....it is all buttoned back up now.
And yes, I have the bars for the doors, which are also painted sonic blue with padding just like the rest of it.
Thanks!
