Since I owned the car it has been in a climate controlled garage.Never has seen rain or snow.It is a weekend cruiser.I have done the following upgrades.New convertible top,style bar,new mach 4 power amps with JVC stereo,Powder coated cobra wheels,4 new Velloza low profile tires,Red vinyl cobra on hood and windshield,Red flames,new sun visers,New seat covers,Upgraded brakes,and new clutch.Mechanically sound and very fast, Was repaired by masters after accident and tracks and runs perfect.Reason I am selling it is because I am old and need luxury.Only about 3,088 convertibles made in 97 and if you are a true Cobra lover this is the real thing and a true beast! The engine was built by svt's Doug Campbell and Jim Adams.
