Hello from Rockford, IL USA

At first glance, this looks like a great community you got here. So much info, I'll be here for days! I'm currently in Rockford, Il, an hour or so from Chicago. I'm representing my 83 year old father who's a bit web-illiterate. In his stable he's got a '95 Excalibur Cobra with a new fairly aggressive 302 instead of the original 50. The thing is immaculate down to the cold a/c. I find the air option to be ridiculous though. At least it's got the 5-speed. It's BRG with white stripes and tan leather interior. Just this week he picked up his new daily driver, a '96 Mustang convertible SVT with 1100 original miles. Bought from VOLO Auto museum in N. Illinois. No kidding. Original down to the tires/belts/hoses, etc. He'll probably put 2 or 3 thousand mi on it, which won't affect resale. Got the hand-built 4.6 Cobra motor that spins up to 7.8k rpm. Really cool. I just want to make sure I'm in his will! HA!

I'll do my best to research the Shelby and don't plan on asking stupid questions unless really stumped or something. Thanks for hearing me rant. (My two personal vehicles aren't even worth mentioning on these hallowed pages).

Welcome. There was an Excalibur thread that seem to wonder off into the weeds and go on for years. In the beginning of that thread, there should be some nuggets of information, and more spread throughout.

I own a Excalibur Cobra. 1996 Orange / Black Stripes #128. My son is taking ownership of the car in August. I have the convertible top and side windows [ no bows ] in like new condition if anyone is interested.

Welcome ProgRocker Sounds like your Dad's a car guy ;) I know of another Excalibur in Texas (I would call it Dark Green not BRG, with Tan Int.) The idea the 96 Mustang SVT can turn 7800RPM, maybe a tad off though :) Cheers Tommyrot. https://www.mustangspecs.com/1996-ford-mustang-cobra/

Yes I have a 1993 Excalibur Blue with white stripes vin starts with 1J and ends 003

I just hope and pray I can still get in and drive a Cobra at 83 years young.
