Used Mustangs For Sale in NJ, NY, PA or CT

Cobra Jet · #1 01-16-2011, 12:07 AM

I'm putting this out here to see if there is any real interest - I don't HAVE to sell. I'm looking at *possibly* jumping back into a Fox Mustang notchback. So if there is anyone who's interested, here's all the specs/info below:

LOCATION: SOUTHERN NJ

1994 Cobra coupe
142,xxx original miles
Production date off door decal: 01/94
SVT Production Number: 0013 <- This can be verfied through Ford (I called and it was verified by my VIN #). So far, this is the lowest surviving production 1994 SVT Cobra coupe build in existence out of 5,009. I have searched high and low and have not been able to locate or find #'s 0001 through 0012 (yet), and this is including checking all available online registries and forums.

TRUE SVT Cobra - "D" in VIN. I do not have the SVT Certificate, as I never purchased one - however, anyone could get it anytime by contacting Ford. Do your Cobra research as well, this is an early build 94 Cobra which does NOT have and never came with the "SVT" on the rear deck lid nor does it have the assembly line build decal on the valve cover. Yes, the rear bumper cover is supposed to say "MUSTANG", not "Cobra". Yes the fiberglass hood is the same as the 94-95 GT's. Being an early production build, this vehicle also has functional hood vents and fully functional lower B-pillar side vents that vent fresh air to or over the rear brakes - Ford closed/welded these fresh air openings shut on later build SN95 94-95's and all 96-98's...

I'm the 2nd owner. This car was 100% BONE STOCK when I purchased it (and I have documented pics of it's condition at time of purchase). Every upgrade or mod has been completed during my ownership and all upgrades or mods are tasteful. For the most part, all mods were done so that the vehicle's appearance basically remains as it came from the factory. I retain every single receipt for all parts, mods or maintenance related issues (I have a folder that is 3" thick of paperwork). Clean & clear NJ title in hand with NO prior issues EVER. IIRC, I also have the original CarFax I ran before I bought it.

WHAT THE CAR NEEDS:

1) rear bumper cover has minor surface scuffs/scratches from prior owner - this could easily be remedied by removing it from the vehicle and having a good body shop respraying it (touching it up).

2) driver's side seatbelt is tempermental - sometimes it will not retract back automatically after unbuckling, sometimes it does

This Cobra has NO ISSUES. DON'T let the accumulated mileage scare anyone - because even w/ 142k on it, everyone who sees the car can't believe the miles until they look at the odometer. The car is CLEAN inside, outside, under the hood and when looking under the car. The car is mechanically sound!

I am not going to say my car is *mint* - a *MINT* vehicle is one that has just been delivered to a showroom and has NO miles on it... My car is close to excellent condition for a 1994 vehicle based on history & overall condition and having 142k highway miles. It does have some very, very minor dings on the passenger side (which can be removed by a PDR guy) and some minutely small stone paint chips on the hood from daily usage on NJ highways (these cannot be seen in pictures). On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best), I would give it an honest 9.0 for complete overall exterior, interior, chassis & engine bay condition.

NO BS here - everything above is factual, car is well documented in pics that I have from when I first bought it and 3" folder full of receipts, plus I have nothing to hide. I purchased the car when it had 80k on it, all of the accrued miles are highway miles (I was putting 115 miles a day on it weekly, until I purchased another vehicle for DD use). The car has been garaged since my ownership and has not seen daily driver use in the last 3 years.

Driver's side door still has original Dealer issued Motorcraft oil change sticker affixed to inside edge of door. This has been on the door since 1995 which documents that the car only had 12,xxx original miles on it in 1995...

Asking $11,000.00/obo - price is negotiable, CASH talks.

NOTE: My Cobra was also one of many Mustangs selected by NITTO Tire Company over 2 years ago to be in a nationally run NITTO advertisement that has appeared in a few of the major Mustang magazines. My car (and several others) was selected out of thousands of entries. The ad started in the September 2007 Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords magazine. The ad is a two page ad found immediately on the inside cover of the magazine - my car is on the 2nd page of the ad, 1st car, last row of ad. The ad was also curently running on the back & inside pages of a few other well known Mustang mags as late as April 2008. I also have the full sized posted of this same ad that was sent to me by NITTO. I will include (1) full size poster of the original ad to the new owner.
