yup after 2 months of not having a car I have finally purchased another. IT's a '97 cobra black on black with 48k miles, and it's bone stock (for a little while).

 

God DA**IT...why didn't I get a 4v? I guess that is what I get for being DUM about Stangs when I went shopping. Don't get me wrong, I was looking at them and even test drove a 95...but just really didn't realize how pathetic the 96-98s really were.

 

You iz crampin mah style dawg Other than that congrats

 

Did you buy that from Hillsborough Auto Mart over on North Florida? I looked at one over there with the exact same color combo and mileage.

 

He sure did.

 

He needs to take a close look at those front brakes. The biggest turnoff about that car was the excessive rust in the front caliper area. The usually black 2-piston caliper was silver, and the support bracket and all the bits&pieces around it had a heavy coat of rust. Makes me think the front end may have taken a dip in some water for an extended period of time.

 

Congrats Pat.
Let the modding begin.

well if the front end did take a dip in some water I guess I should just get a tubular k Hopefully it will be dropped on some 18's soon

 

If it was salt water, you have more things to worry about than just the K-member. Check ALL electrical connections in the engine compartment for excessive corrosion. Inspect ALL suspension components. You may want to consider changing all of your fluids (rear-end, transmission, power steering, etc.). Pull up the carpeting to look for moisture/mildew, and rusted or freshly painted seat brackets. I noticed when I looked inside that car it reeked of some sort of new-car scent, which could be covering something up.

I'm not ragging on your car in any way, but you really need to get a qualified mechanic to check that car over with a fine tooth comb. Flooded cars are no laughing matter...especially if it took a dunk in salt/brackish water.

Good luck with the new car.
