FFR2479K for sale. Always serviced by a professional Cobra builder. $25,000
Well, sadly, the time has come for me to sell my beloved Cobra. Unfortunately, the car does not fit into my family life any longer. My two year old son is turning out to be a huge car lover. Since the Cobra has only 2 seats, and including my wife, there are 3 of us, it just doesn’t fit. I would feel horribly guilty leaving my son with a babysitter every time my wife and I went to a car show or out for a cruise. He would love to come with us (OK, he won’t come every time we go out….). So I need to sell this car so I can pick up something with a back seat.
The car was built in September 2001 by Palmer Classic Creations in Kentucky. I have the documentation on the build. I purchased the car in March of 2002 from the original owner. He decided he wanted something with a top. The car had about 2500 miles on it when I bought it. Since I bought it, the car has been maintained by a professional mechanic who builds Cobras, and has a fleet of about 30 local Cobras he services. So everything has been done right, and I have all documentation. Some specifics on the car. It is titled as a 1965, so it does not require PA emissions inspection. The engine is a 351W from a 1983 truck. I purchased it from a member of FFCobra forums. It was completed rebuilt and the details are as follows (as provided to me) Oil drainback paths, entire lifter valley polished smooth Oil pump and filter passages enlarged and matched to the high volume pump openings Cylinders bored .040” over, honed Pistons deburred and balanced Rods reconditioned, balanced and had ARP bolts installed Crank ground 10/10 under, micropolished and balanced Entire rotating assembly balanced and matched with late model Mustang flywheel Rings are chrome molly racing rings, custom fitted to each cylinder, with a .016” top ring gap and .012” second ring gap Heads are World Products Windsor Jr. with 1.94/1.60 oversized valves 9.3 to 1 compression ratio, so it runs on 93 unleaded Roller rocker using Crane Cams Roller kit. Cam has 216/224 degree duration at .050” and .520/.542 inch lift Competition Cams 1.6 roller rockers, hardened push rods and guide plates Edelbrock Performer RPM dual plane manifold Holley 750cfm carb New Mallory Unilite distributor Engine just received a tune up with new plugs last week. Tri-States 2 row aluminum radiator. Keeps the car cool at all times T5 5 speed transmission. Shifts into all gears with no problems. Highback Jegs seats. I have the original style seats that came with the car as well Ford 8.8 rear end with 3.73 gears FFR 3 link rear suspension New sealed front ball joints Manual steering using a Mustang quick ratio rack. Car is painted Plymouth Prowler yellow with black stripes 17” Centerline wheels with 245/45/17 front tires and 275/40/17 rear tires Windwings and sunvisors AM/FM cassette with speakers mounted between the seats on the rear panel The car currently has approx. 7600 miles on it. It runs and drives terrific. Engine makes approx. 350-375hp and the vehicle weighs about 2200lbs., so it can fly!! The only known issue with the car is that when the rear gear ratio was changed from 2.73s to 3.73s the speedometer gear was not changed. So the speedometer does not read properly. Would just need to change the gear to the right size. Car is priced at $25,000 as I want to sell it quickly. The quicker I sell it, the less painful it will be. E-mail me at Klayfish@aol.com Feel free to ask any questions you wish. There are more pictures in my gallery here on Club Cobra.

Car is still for sale.
|
Is the car still for sale? If she is where are you located?
thanks |
Yes, the car is still available. I am in Pennsburg, PA., which is between Allentown and Philadelphia.
|
As I stated in the forum, as soon as I sell my bike, I will be very interested. I like the car. Do you know anything as far as titled the car in Florida?
thanks |
Off the top of my head, no, but I can probably help you find out. You can shoot me an e-mail at Klayfish@aol.com if you want. I've got more pictures I can send and maybe offer a little advise about your questions you posed in your other thread...whether it leads you to my Cobra or another one. You should buy the one that is right for your and your tastes.

Thanks Steve, I would not mind some advise. I will email you. I do like your car. I assume with the 351 windsor, it must have plenty of power. The bike I'm selling should go hopefully pretty fast, It's gorgeous. Once I sell it, I will check to see if yours still available. Thanks a lot.

A few new pictures. I have others upon request.
