Wanted your opinions on this. Firs of all, you guys have been a great help. A number of you asked me what my intentions with the car are. Well, to be honest I'm just looking for a bad*ss car to drive around in. I'm not looking to run the strip anymore, and I'm not looking to "pass everything on the road" like I did in my twenties..
I am liking this...if the guy meets my price. It's a 1997 Cobra, and this is what he says about it:
"I am selling my 40,5xx original mile Rio Red 97 SVT Cobra. My 97 has very light modifications to it. It has a MAC (cat-less) off road H pipe coupled with a flowmaster 3 chamber 45 series cat-back exhaust. Sounds Great! It also has Eibach 1-3/4" lowering springs (pro-kit) with Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber plates. The only body mod is a 96-98 authentic Saleen S-281 rear spoiler, which is angled directly off the back. The Engine and drivetrain are unmolested and completely stock besides a K&N air filter and Pro 5.0 short throw shifter. Like I said earlier this Cobra has only 40 thousand original miles and is not a rebuild or a wreck. That means you could say it has been driven only 4000 miles a year since 1997. This Cobra is in very good condition and has been well cared for, I would rate the paint as an 8.6 out of 10 and the interior at a 9 out of 10. The car has never been involved in any kind of accident and is in very good condition. The oil has been changed every 2,000 miles because I am very anal with its up keeping. Make me an offer, I would be open to some negotiation. I am the second owner of this car and have owned it for two years. This is one of the nicest 97 low mile Cobra's you could find, and as you can tell from the picture's it s been well cared for. I'm selling because I would like to move onto something a little different and because I would like to buy a car that I intend to modify, or I might buy a truck. I can't bring myself to mod this Cobra because it has already survived 11 years without being molested and still has all the original parts. I would like to pass it onto someone else who can appreciate it for being what it is; a perfect example of an authentic, stock, low mile 97 SVT Cobra. I have the stock rear wing, springs, shifter, and exaust that will be included with the sale of the car. Also I just replaced all four tires with BF Goodrich KDW's that have just under 1000 miles on them. Price $11,900"
Keep in mind, I'm thinking of offering about $10,000.
Here are some pics, there are quite a few....looks nice IMHO.

Opinions? I booked it on KBB at 10,000 and NADA at 11,500.
