Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this 1997 Mustang Cobra.
Hold on to your seat as you look this thoroughbred Mustang Cobra
over, you may lose your pants. This Cobra is Fast and Furious.
Judging from the exterior this Mustang can easily be mistaken as
normal, or a regular version Mustang Cobra. This venomous Cobra has
potent power and is the ultimate sleeper. "A sleeper is a car that
has high performance and an unassuming exterior". Sleeper car
exteriors appear similar or identical to a standard or
economy-class car and in some cases, it appears worse due to
seeming neglect on the owner's part, commonly referred to as "all
go and no show.' While appearing to be a standard car, internally
they are modified with higher performance levels. This monster is
packing a 4.6 extreme built motor. It is probably easier to ask
what's not been done to this motor, rather than what has been done.
There are 84,000 miles on the frame and 3,000 break-in miles on the
freshly built motor. The beastly engine consists of Manly Forged
Pistons, Eagle 4340 Rods, Eagle Crank, Clevite Main and Rod
Bearings, Felpro Gaskets, new oil pump, new timing chain and guide,
Ford Racing 60 pound injectors, AEM 340 High Output Fuel Pump,
Accufab Ellispe Throttle Body, Procharger High Output Intercooled
Supercharger System, 3.1 pulley (9 pounds), SCT BA-2600 Big Air 90
MM MAF Sensor, Snow Performance Stage 1 Water and Methanol Kit
(kicks in at 6 pounds of boost), MSD Coil Packs and Wires, Moroso
Coolant Expansion Tank, HID Headlights and Foglights, Competition
Stage 3 Clutch, and 3.73 gears. The car will make close to 700
horsepower with the correct pulley setup. Currently, this "Monster"
is making 575 horsepower and 420 foot-pounds of torque. You can
hear the Hooker Headers exhale through a BBK Offroad X Pipe and SLP
Loudmouth Catback Exhaust. The interior has been upgraded with
Corbeau LGL Wide Black Racing Seats, MOMO Steering Wheel and Hub,
and AEM Black Faced Gauges. Gauges consist of TRU Boost, Wideband,
Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Hurst Short Shifter, Rear Seat Delete
Kit, and Viper Alarm System. Exterior shows well with XXR 531
wheels powder coated black. You will get plenty of traction with
TOYO Proxes Street Radial 315/35/17 rear tires. The 3-inch Cowl
Hood and Saleen Style Wing adds just the right touch of styling.
