2003 Cobra Convertible 540 RWHP Whipple

Hey guys. I am just copying the ebay ad that is scheduled to begin tomorrow night (Sunday). If anyone is interested in making me an offer, feel free. 267-994-1227. Thanks, Scott Dalrymple The buy it now price is 23,000.

Here is your chance to own one of the finest examples of a 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra (Terminator) convertible with only 29,000 miles! My wife and I just placed an offer (which was accepted) on our dream house and in order to make the down payment, I must sell this car fast. The “buy it now” is set low hoping that someone will buy it before the auction is even completed. If nobody purchases it using the “buy it now” option, this will remain a no reserve auction! At the end of the week, either way, someone will own a beautiful car! Clear, PA title in hand ready to go. Buyers with feedback lower than 5 or negative feedback must contact me before placing a bid. I reserve the right to end the auction early because I am listing this vehicle locally as well.

History:

I purchased this last September with the intentions of keeping it forever (and I would if I had a choice). The previous owner was the second owner and bought this car for his wife. Yes, this car actually was female driven! While he owned it, someone backed into the rear of the car in a parking lot causing minor damage (cosmetic only on the rear bumper). This is the “accident” that shows up on Carfax. He insisted that the cover be replaced and not just repaired. If I did not know that the cover was replaced, I would never be able to tell (and I am very picky). All of the modifications on this car were performed during his ownership in late 2008.

I am not going to say that this car has never been raced (like so many others do)…however, I will say that it has never been beaten (like so many others have been). Prior to me owning it, it had never even had anything but the stock tires on it and always been adult driven. With over 600 hp, it was impossible to even consider flooring it without going sideways. The car has never been to a racetrack but I have had a couple of red light encounters on the street. So far, this car has punished a Viper and Z06 Corvette without blinking! This car is very fast! On the dyno, it made 539 RWHP and 493 ft lbs of torque. That is the equivalent of over 600 hp! The only change that I made to the car was the tires. It already had 18 inch Gun Metal Cobra R wheels that I finished with Nitto 555 (275/35/18) up front and Nitto Drag Radials (305/35/18) on the rear. The tires have less than 500 miles on them and I have never done a burnout on them. They are like new! This car was professionally tuned by “Big Daddy” Dwayne Guthridge, and he did a fantastic job. It drives and idles just like a stock cobra. However, once you give it some gas, you know you are not driving a stock Cobra.

The modifications on the car include a 2.3 WHIPPLE supercharger with stock pulley (13-14 pounds of boost), subframe connectors, MGW short throw shifter, Magnaflow Xpipe with high flow cats, Magnaflow stainless cat back, BBK throttle body, JLT cold air kit, upgraded MAF (unsure of brand), and an SCT tuner. Again, this combination is good for over 600 hp!

The car is in fantastic condition which shows in the pictures. It has only been used as a pleasure vehicle and never sees harsh weather. Everything in the vehicle works like it should including the ice cold a/c. Unfortunately, the car was from NJ and had a front license plate bracket on it. I removed the bracket, but there are 4 small holes in the front bumper as shown in the pics. My plan was to have them filled, but never got around to it. The car is scratch free and the paint shines incredibly. The interior is near perfect as shown in the pics. So, in summary, you are bidding on a beautiful, low mileage 2003 Cobra convertible with approximately $7,000 in upgrades and I am listing the “buy it now” well below KBB value! Please feel free to contact me with any questions prior to bidding. Bid with confidence. If the car isn’t what I claim it is when you come to pick it up, I will refund your deposit. I guarantee that will not be the case. Like I previously said, the ONLY reason I am selling this car is because we need the money for our house ASAP. 1,000 due within 3 days of auction. Balance within 7 days of auction close. Good luck bidding!
