My Factory Five cobra is for sale or possible trade -- trade would be for something fast but mostly stock, maybe a S54 M coupe or E46M3.

This car is extremely fast, handles like it's on rails, and thanks to the late model EFI, is extremely reliable.

Price is $34,500 -- that includes street wheels and track wheels with RA-1's on them.


A full list of specs plus lots of pictures can be seen here:

I can guarantee that you would own the only factory five cobra in hawaii -- there is one guy building one but it's nowhere near done.
I don't even want to think how much shipping would be though.
:help

Actually I was surprised to find quite a few Cobras here locally. At a Mustang club gathering in May, 8 showed up!!

That's a good quote. Here is another......

"an M Coupe maybe, but not an S54 M Coupe"
That would be the repsonse most S54 M Coupe owners would give you if you ask them to trade their S54 M Coupe for your car. Don't take offense. I am sure anyone would love to have your car, but not if it means giving up an ultra rare S54 M Coupe.

Did you put it all together yourself? I've actually been thinking of getting the kit since they first came out. Just haven't had the time for the project, or the inclination to give up the money.
Sweet looking car. Good luck with the sale.

That's cool - if an m coupe was posted on the cobra board for trade there would probably be a lot of similiar reactions. :).

I'm just basing it on market value -- an estoril S54 M coupe w/ 47k miles went on ebay this afternoon for $30.5k -- so they're in the same ballpark.

It was mostly built when I got it -- I did a lot of the upgrades & tuning. They're awesome cars and I love it -- I just won't have a place to park it soon (doing a renovation project on a house) and parking it outside is obviously not an option. :).

Did I mention it'll go a quarter mile in 12.28 seconds? (111.xx MPH)
