Pick up my 98 Cobra Tuesday

[wes...@my-dejanews.com]

At the urging (not much) of the wife I traded the 96 GT for a new 98 Cobra.
She felt that just because I had been hit by stupid drivers twice in two
years with total damages of $24K that the GT was jinxed. Whatever works, I
finally got a Cobra !!!! It did help that the dealer had knocked off $3K. so
anyhow it is Laser Red, Black Leather and Black convert top. All available
options installed. Dealer is applying tint on the windows and adding factory
alarm system. Punk kids ripped off the snake emblems so they had to replace
those. Infidels should be shot.

Aside from waiting on the certificate, does anything on the car show the build
number and date?

Thanks

There should be a plate of sorts under the hood. I believe it's on one of the
valve covers. It'll be signed by the 2 people that hand built your motor, and
the date it was finished and installed.

Nope, it will only show the two guys who built it.. but you can have the dealer
look at the vin # and tell you when it was built.. but you will have to wait to
get the certificate to tell what # it is...

One question please. Why didn't you buy the 99 Cobra? It has 30 more
horsepower.

1. Because of the 99 completely smooth hood without the 98 cool big fake
intakes.
2. Ford was too cheap to make a different nose for the 99. They put black
spacers in the 99 GT rectangular fog lamp holes. Then put in round lamps.
3. They even went back to the bumper with "Mustang" embossed in it. Instead
of "Cobra".

CHEAP!

Actually it only has 20 more horsepower. The dealer came $3k off sticker and
I didn't have to wait until March. To be honest I still prefer the 94-98 body
style. The dealer also happened to have exactly the color combination I
wanted.
