Beautiful and fast, this predominately stock Cobra is "her" daily driver and current obsession. I traded my 1999 Electirc Green Cobra for this rare beauty.

1996 Cobra

This fabulous car is what got it all started. Well, actually a 1995 GT started it, but shortly after getting the GT, we drove by the dealership and saw this Mystic Cobra sitting out front. My husband's jaw dropped and he declared it @#&$-ing beautiful. And it was, and still is.
