Been passively looking for some time, and stumbled across a '95 Cobra, impeccable condition, two owner car with 91k miles.  First owner had it since 1995 and until 2021.  It was sold to owner #2 shortly after owner #1 death.  Owner #1 was a Air force mechanic, served in Korea, and bought the car when he retired from the service.  Car was driven regularly from 1995 until 2004, when the mileage stopped accumulating (presumably from a health issue).  All service records, receipts, etc....came with the car.  The car was never driven in the snow, and looks 100% new underneath!Owner #2 had it for a year, and as the story was told me, knew owner #1 and promised the widowed wife that the car would go to a good home.  So - here's my entrance.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Car was 99% stock, except for the Cobra R wheels and magnaflow mufflers installed in 2017 with about 50 miles on them before I bought it.  The tires were new, but had date codes of 2004; so while they had ~50 miles on them, they needed replaced.Since acquisition, I've replaced the radiator (precautionary measure) with an all aluminum unit, and replaced the front & rear control arms, shocks, and added Ford Motorsports lowering springs; and tinted the windows.Other than swapping out the seats for some more comfortable SN197 units, I have no real plans for the car other than the 1x or 2x month drive. Glad to be here!</blockquote>
