You never forget your first. My high school ride: 1970 Mach 1, 428 SCJ, automatic, 3.91s, ram air. I rebuilt the engine myself my Junior year of high school. It was all stock except for a Crane Fireball cam and Holley 750 dual feed carburetor. Fondest memories: blowing the doors clean off my friend's '66 427 Caprice, and beating "Peg Leg's" '70 Chevelle SS 396. Sold it to a friend of a friend in 1984, and I've been kicking myself since.

My fifth: 1998 Mustang Cobra. Mods: K&N filter. Great car, never saw a track :(. In October of 2001, Ford had the nerve to offer 0.0% financing for 60 months, even on Cobras. Bye-bye coupe, time to go topless...

Chapter VI - 2001 Cobra Convertible

2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible(2001)
My sixth: 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible. Mods: DenseCharger CAI, Snake grill emblem. My first ever convertible, and another great car, but it wasn't long before I felt the need to close the book on the best that Ford had to offer, and give the General's best a try.
