All work done by AED. Car has almost 50k miles on it, motor has around 18-20k miles, rearend has roughly 1200 miles.

2.4 Kenne Bell @ 15psi/ 2# metco lower
3.572" Bore
Stoke stroke
Probe 18.1cc dished pistons with off-set wrist pins
Ross Tool-steel taper wall wrist pins
Stock 03/04 Cobra Iron block race-prepped & machined (deburred, bore/honed with torque plates, line-bore checked, block magged, etc)
Stock 03/04 Cobra 'Manley' rods reconditioned (checked & re-sized as neccessary, then balanced) These rods use ARP cap-screw bolts.
Stock 03/04 Cobra 4340 Forged crankshaft Race-prepped, ground & polished.
Rotating assembly 'zero' balanced with stock harmonic dampner.
Clevite 77 main & rod bearings
Perfect Circle Plasma-moly rings gapped at .022 top & second.
ARP Main & Head studs
Heads given 3-angle performance valvejob, cleaned, inspected, valvesprings checked/tested, guides replaced as neccessary, new Ford valvestem seals & reassembled.
Cometic MLS head gaskets

The motor can handle 800+RWHP. The pistons/crank/block can handle 1000+HP, the Connecting rods are rated at 800 but have been known to handle over 1000. The connecting rods are the 'weakest' link, followed by the pistons & crankshaft which have also been known to handle over 1000HP. The block can handle goobs more. The rings have been gapped for over 800RWHP applications.

Also has the cooling mod,AED clutch/pressure plate(approx 1200miles if that),Fidanza Flywheel, 26spline input shaft in the tranny, & the BA2400 mass-air.

Had AED build a "bullet proof" IRS rear with level 5 half shafts and 3:73 gears. Car has pretty much everything you/I need. Car made 580rwhp/513rwt on 91 octane, SAE and STD numbers were 598/523 for those who like see'ing STD. here is a quick walk around of the car. Walk around...Youtube Video

On Edit: Only thing that needs to be done for smog is swap out the X-pipe with stock H pipe(which i have) exhaust is stock manifolds,2.5" magnaflow o/r X, into 3" magna flow cat back.

I'll give you $4 right now...just because you're a donks fan.

But in all seriousness...I wish it was next year right now because I'd gladly pay your asking price for that my man. Beautiful car.

With all that done and with someone really intrested you can get around 25k . I've been looking for a car and a cobra was in my list . I seen stock ones go for 16 and up . I think 20 is way to much of a badasss deal Thats just my opinion

I'd say anything between 20-24k in my opinion, From seeing other cobras on Craigslist that are 19-21k with mainly stock motor with a tune unlike yours. Nice cobra btw it's exactly what I'm looking for [Big Grin] Lmk if you decide to sell bro.

22k at minimum

25k on the high side

I was having this conversation last night with some buddies at Yard House. Your car isn't going to be sold to someone "just looking" to get into a Terminator. Those guys are going to buy bolt on high mileage cars for 17-19k. The setup and attention to detail you have is going to be for someone who knows these cars, knows what they want, and already has money to play with.

If you are looking to sell it, just price it at 25-26k, or whatever you consider high, and then just see where it goes from there. Patience is the most important factor in trying to sell a car that's actually worth it's asking price.

With that being said, GLWS! [patriot]

I agree, there's alot of ppl looking for red fire cobras on SVTP but the only problem is that most of them are out of state unless you don't mind shipping
