Pictures of my Cobra II as purchased...
I Purchased my Cobra II in November 2000 on a while driving through the country to a neighboring town. It was sitting on someone's front lawn and it was actually my wife who told me I should stop and have a look at it (cool wife, huh). The owner was asking $3,000 for it so I offered $2,000 and he agreed (actually his wife agreed, as it was her car...another cool wife).
The interior is orignial and in great shape considering its age, with only the dash having a few split in the pad and the drivers seat seams coming apart. Could use new carpeting as well.
Engine is also mostly original(to my knowledge) with the original 2 barrel carb being swapped out for a 4 barrel one. The air cleaner was missing (purchsed one on ebay $25!) and basically only had to do a tune up and change the fluids and had the carb rebuilt...it runs great.
I had to remove the chin spoiler due to it being damaged when I purchased the car. I removed it to prevent any further damage. The front lower valance was brittle and was unsalavagable...I soon found out that replacement ones were hard to come by and expensive.
The rear spoiler was also remove to do some repairs to the mounting studs...as you can see this car was originally white...
Some of the items that make up a Cobra II....side louvers with Cobra Emblems...
Grill Snake emblem...
and Snake center caps (with new tires!)
It's been 6 years, 2 homes and 2 daughters later and I am still trying to get her "show ready". I am having a lot of trouble deciding whether to keep the car Blue or go back to the original colour of White. It's a great car and a blast to drive, and turns alot of heads when I take her out for a spin!
Hope you enjoyed looking at my Ride!
