Default New Cobra owner in Poconos, PA

Hi All,

Been a Ford guy since high school, starting with a rusty '67 Mustang Coupe, long gone. I bought a '68 Mustang Coupe a couple of years ago which I'm just finishing up.

Today, I finally stepped up a few decades and bought a black/black '98 Cobra SVT coupe, and we get our earliest major snowfall since 1962!

Going back tomorrow to bring her home.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here.

Mike

Well Welcome for sure!
Last Saturday I took the president of the local Mustang club on a 220+ mile trip one way to pick up his new to him '96' Cobra. Damn did it sound good. Good luck with the car, join a local club and have fun.

Thanks Guys,

I spent about 5 hours yesterday cleaning her up. Did I mention it's BLACK? Washed with Dawn detergent, clayed, light-coumpounded, ScratchX'ed. Looks 10x beter, but now I've got to get rid of some water spots & bird dropping marks.

The interior looked like it had not been cleaned in the two years the prior owner had the car. Candy wrappers, dirt, gravel and even a Casio watch.

She really does put you back in your seat like a 39,000 mile Cobra should.

I'm a happy camper,
Mike

I tried white vinegar 100% soaked onto a microfiber cloth and some elbow grease. They seemed to lighten up a little. Followed that with a light polishing compound using a random orbit buffer. Looks much better, but I can still see them.

Black's a pain in the (_l_)
