Updated, new pics...

Well As you guys may remember I went to the "dark side" and sold my 95 cobra and got a hopped up little 308 Fox. I decided it was a little too much for a DD seeing that it didnt have power steering and it got REAL angry with me when I got stuck in traffic. Sold it for a good profit and found a nice little 99% stock 1998 Cobra vert with 72K original miles! Only mods are a Pro5.0 short throw, O/R x pipe (stock mufflers), and a steeda crank pulley. Car runs and drives like its brand new and has ice cold A/C! Picked it up for about $8,000 after its all said and done! Not too shabby! Did a little research and its 1 of 40 Crystal White '98 verts with saddle leather and saddle top! One thing that I was really wondering about though is it came from the factory with no rear spoiler! Maybe custom ordered?? The holes were not filled, I pulled the rubber plugs on the under side of the trunk and its unmolested! Going to do some light bolt on mods and some visual things for now. Im looking for some lowering springs and a good set of staggered 99-04 White Saleen wheels. I think I'll be hanging on to this one for a while! Loving it so far! anything I should be watching out for from you 96-98 Cobra vets? this is my first Modular so I have been doing tons of research. just let me know! Ill get some pics up soon!

I thought the Cobras had the 3ed brake light in the spoiler and not the trunk?? Maybe they swapped a V6 trunk lid on there as well. Either way nice car.

beautiful cobra! crystal white is the best, I may be biased :)

My car sounds exactly the same using a stock cat back with an o/r x.

Anyways what are your goals for the car?
The best mods you can do to it are: 410 gears no less, short shifter (check), o/r x (check), and long tubes. if you're a little more serious get a short runner intake manifold.

btw when you get new wheels let me know how much you want for the stockers. I may be wanting.them.

Most common issue with these cars is cleaning the IMRCs once in a while. At 72k miles, if it hasn't been done its a great idea to do.it.

God, i need to do a 3v 4.6L or 4v 4.6L swap into my 5.0 asap. =[

Grats!

Only the 5.0 cobra because they had a special crab style wing with the light.

The 96-98 Cobras had v6/GT trunks/wings

Ah gotcha. My last was a '94 GT w/a crab claw. My '96 GT also has a crab claw. I dislike them on GT's because of the 3ed brake light in the trunk. I plan on shaving and like my stuff really clean & everyone said get a Cobra lid because of no 3ed brake light.
