Sold the Cobra

08-03-2001, 12:47 AM

A guy bought it last week and I miss it but atleast I still have 89. Now if I could just get my 89 back, its in the shop waiting for the lentech valve body and recalibrated converter. So I'm carless at the moment.

I'm looking to get a truck again, anyone know anything about the Nascar truck? There are a couple for sell around town. Guess I need to change my signature *sniff*

Get me up to date here... why'd you sell the snake? If I missed it in an older post I apologize. I hope to own a Cobra someday so it always pains me to see someone part with one

Man, I would have a hard time selling a 97 Cobra. Solid Axle, 4.6L DOHC...it must really suck.

Atleast you had the oppertunity to own and drive one.

My exgirlfriend talked me into trading my 99 Z71 ext cab for the cobra last Sept. Ever since I have been going crazy from not having a truck, selling the 89 was not an option(then what would I be buried in

). I got tired of having to either borrow a truck or just plain going without, my dog loves to ride and the poor girl hasn't had a ride in almost a year.

Anyhow I have a plan, buy a less expensive truck, sell the other non-essentials and put all my effort(money) into my house and hopefully have it paid for next summer. Then I can save and pay cash if I decide to get another one, though I think the 2003 mustang may be the way to go. Never the less, turning to page 116 in the Sept. MM&FF gave me a deep sinking feeling in my stomach..

I haven't read MM&FF yet, what did it say?

That's cool. I want one pretty bad but it'll be a while. My wife and I are in the process of putting in a bid on a nice house with an oversized two-car garage. That way my ponies will have somewhere to rest at night.

On page 116 and 117 is a 97 Rio Red Cobra vert, except for the rims and a couple little things(cobra in my grill, windshield banner, sticker on side..) that is what I had. Only 3088 of those verts made, only around 500 were rio red. The guy that bought it already has a black 96 cobra with only 17k miles and he rode his R1 when he came to see mine! Not to mention his wife has a suv and I delivered the car to a 2 story house with a 2 car garage. Man!! I think he was 26 and a pilot in the service.. anyhow.. I don't have those huge payments anymore.
