after 10 years? All of it...fluids, plugs, wires, anything and everything, or nothing...kinda hard to say when you have given us nothing about it's background.

Like Cobra0331 said, change everything. Have ALL your fluids changed. Have the fuel system cleaned out. Change all your filters--oil, air, PCV, ect. Get your allignment checked too. All of these will extend the life and performance of your car.

Ok, so just the usual stuff, I'd have the power steering fluid flushed, the radiator flushed, do the brakes and that should be about it...for the most part Cobras are fairly low maintenance. It's just when the mod bug bites it becomes a challenge! Have fun.
