Up for sale is what could be arguably the most rare 03 cobra with one hell of a background. In the words of Dr. Jamie Meyer.After driving a prototype of the ’03 Cobra/Terminator at the 2002 World Ford Challenge, this car was special ordered by me in July of 2003. My Cobra was ordered in Oxford White, which turned out to be the most rare of all colors available on the 2003 Cobra. The car arrived in August of 2003, and it was not dealer prepped. I met that transport truck at the dealer, did the paperwork, and took immediate delivery of the car. No Ford dealership employee has ever touched this Cobra! I even had to drive it from the dealership to the gas station before I could get it home (these cars shipped with enough gas to get them off the truck – that’s it). I prepped the car at home and immediately got down to work. I did a series of stories for 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine featuring this Cobra to educate people on the incredible untapped potential that the Terminator has. These cars have always fascinated me, and I still believe that the ‘03/04 Terminator is the best Mustang ever built. This Cobra has been a huge inspiration for me. It generated a number of magazine tech features starring this car; it helped start the first ever Cobra Shootout (NMRA Bowling Green, KY event: Sept. 2003); and it was the feature car of the well-known Cobra test/review article in the NMRA Race Pages magazine. That Race Pages article was so well received that Ford SVT even wrote me a letter of thanks, praising my enthusiasm for the car. Again, this car was the center of all of this attention. “Pony Prep” package from Ford In addition to the rarity, low miles, international exposure, and flawless condition of this car, the thing that makes it truly special is the “Pony Prep” package that it received while being assembled. The Pony Prep is an off the menu “option” that I was able to request because of my connections at Ford. This is the same assembly line preparation that an internal Ford show car would receive. Additional paint is applied in the door jams and seams, clear coat is extended into areas that a regular production car would not get, and the panels are perfectly aligned. The plant manager walks the line with the car ensuring that each line worker does a perfect job of assembling the car, and at the end of the process, the plant manager has to personally sign off on the condition of the car. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen a Cobra that “fits” the way my car does. Ask anyone who has seen this car, and they will tell you that it just looks better because of the additional care and concern that the plant put into constructing this vehicle. Magazine feature technical articles: Here is a list of the articles that this individual car appeared in. This Cobra, and the articles that it generated, certainly helped solidify the Terminator’s place in history. (The fact that John Coletti’s SVT team built the best Mustang ever might have helped as well.): “The Total Package”, NMRA Race Pages, April 2003 “Crank the Bass”, 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords, Oct. 2003 “Snake of the Amazon”, 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords, Feb. 2004 “Boost Exchange”, 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords, May 2004 What modifications? All modifications performed to this car can be reversed to stock with the exception of the welded in Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors. I was very concerned about the extreme amount of torque that the supercharged 4.6 liter Ford Modular engine puts out, and I didn’t want the frame to twist or the panels to not line up. Other than the tied frame, everything is a bolt on part.List of mods: K&N FIPKApten ported stock blower Afco head exchanger 2.8 Billetflow pulley Bassani X-pipe with catsBassani cat-back Steeda shifter with Tim Probst urethane insulation kit Custom Superchips tune Final rwhp output: 496 rwhp and 510 lb/ft.
