Poisoned Pony's '96 Cobra build thread

You bought them from Frank probably lol. I has those

Sweet seats. I wanted those for the longest time.

Sweet, that one looks a little beat up tho. I see a couple tears...?

 

[Poisoned Pony]

I got them from a guy in Maitland who just picked up a modified '94 GT and hated the way the seats felt. Even trade, spent like 10 minutes swapping seats. Even told the guy about the forums here

Yeah, small tear on one of the bolsters, no biggie. I'm swapping that one to the passenger side today.

Weighing the pros and cons of a recent offer. I was offered a trade and have til Wednesday to decide

Details on my car:
- 96 Cobra, 180k on chassis, 35k on forged motor, half black half tan interior, off road H pipe, Bassani catback, 3.73's, Cobra R rims, Steeda suspension bits

Details on car I would be getting in trade:
- 91 LX hatch, 306 forged w/ 15k, Trick Flow stage 1 cam, ported E7 heads, Explorer GT40 intake, 75mm TB, 76mm MAF, 1.7 rr, BBK shorties, off road X, Flowmaster catback, 3.55's, Steeda g-trac stage 1 suspension, comes with stock 10 holes and Weld draglites, brand new in the box Zex nitrous

So a pretty built car IMO. I'm feeling kinda burnt out on the modular scene, especially when you work on them daily. The fox would be a return to my Mustang roots, having owned 2 fox GT's. I have grown an attachment to the Cobra, it's an awesome car but I feel I will never take advantage of the forged shortblock, not with family and school stuff happening. I would say I'm 60/40 for the trade lol

As long as you don't leave the site, do what makes you happy

I don't know if I could ever get rid of a mod motor Cobra for a fox. Foxes are hard to come by, but they'll never be as rare as your car.

Even though i'm going to your house today to drink buur and grill out, we will no longer be friends if this trade happens.

well, time to close this chapter on my Mustang novel. This was probably the best ownership I've had with a Mustang. The Cobra was relatively problem free. The GT drove me to my breaking point, where as the Cobra was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed owning my 3rd 4 valve, it was total fun while it lasted. Maybe one day I can be reunited with this car. But for now, it's time for the next chapter. My past 4 Mustangs have been modular motors. And while they are fun, they are expensive. So it's time for e break. Time to return to my roots of what got me into Mustangs. Back to cheap fun, easy repairs and a boatload of available mods.


The Cobra is all cleaned out and in. Tomorrow is trading day. Farewell my friend, it was fun!
