Found One and Ordered Inspection Today!
So a few months ago I asked friends of the family to go look at a cobra since it's 1500 miles from me. It turned out to be in great shape and drove exceptional. Here are a few details:
Factory Five built in 2006 302 T5 Ceramic Side Pipes 5 Lug Conversion 17" wheels PS PB Well I ordered the inspection today and should have the feedback soon.

nice looking ride i hope it checks out OK for you and at a fair price.... |
Very Nice! I like the carbon fiber dash look and the high back seats. looks to be well built. hope it's a fair price and it works out for you.

So the inspection came back as a 97.75 out of 100. Not to bad... Here is the summary on the negatives:
NO DAMAGE. NO TOP, NO WINDOWS, NO HEATER, NO RADIO. ENGINE BACKFIRES ON DECEL AND BETWEEN SHIFTS, VERY NOTICEABLE THRU SIDE PIPES. MAY BE A TIMING ISSUE, ENGINE HAS CARB INSTEAD OF FUEL INJECTION, MAY BE RUNNING RICHER THAN NORMAL. MOTOR SEEMS TO BE QUIET, NO MISSING AT IDLE OR REVING UP ENGINE. NO INNER DOOR PANELS WITH FIBERGLASS DOORS. EASY TO BURN LEG ON SIDEPIPES DURING EXIT OF VEHICLE. So what do you think the backfire issue would be from? Here is the overall summary: DEFINITE FAIR WEATHER VEHICLE ONLY. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CLUTCH IS NOT HIGH PERFORMANCE AND DEPRESSES NORMALLY. SEEMS TO BE A POWERFULL VEHICLE. |
Running rich, lean up the fuel mixture and it should solve the backfiring problem. There have also been some gasoline issues lately throw a bottle of octane booster in the gas tank.

Nice looking car! It will be nice to have another FFR around here.

Back firing on deceleration is generally a leaky side pipe to header collector issue. Could also be header to head but I'd look side pipe to header gasket/connection first.
Nice looking car! :3DSMILE::D:3DSMILE: |
I got a chuckle out of the inspection..."Seems to be a powerful vehicle"?? Really, what gave you the clue? Smoking, out of control rear wheels, spinning around really fast and making a lot of noise? LOL! I want to grow up to be an inspector someday! Looks like a great Cobra. Buy it and you will have fun fixing everything!

So this is not turning out the way I planned! We still can't seem to find a price that we are both comfortable at and he is raising the price when spring ends.
