October car of the Month is 1999 Mustang Cobra Own by Doug. This is what Doug had to say about his car:

My car is a 1999 Ford Mustang Cobra convertible.  It’s my third Mustang as I’ve had a 1971 Mach 1 and a ’96 Laser Red GT Mustang also.  I found this one in June of 2009 in Suffolk, Virginia after months of searching…. in a Craigslist ad.  The owner had bought it from his father-in-law who leased it new as a company car!  It’s been in the Chicago area and in Connecticut but showed now signs of any winter weather exposure and was in great condition when I got it.  I’ve had the front bumper skin resprayed but otherwise all the paint is original.  Top is original and the engine is stock with the exception of a K&N drop in filter.

About 4 months after I bought it the seller’s garage was under 2 feet of salt water as the result of a large Nor’ Easter storm that came through Suffolk.   The car would’ve been probably written off had it still been there.

The car is bone stock and I like that.  I’m just kinda old fashioned that way and it really sets it apart from a lot of other Cobras.  Plus it saves me a lot of money too and that’s a bonus.  It’s driven mostly on nice days but it has seen rain a couple times and I’ve taken it to Pennsylvania twice, Alabama once and have taken it down the Tail of the Dragon, so it does get driven.  It’s fun winding the DOHC engine up to 6500 RPM+ and listening to the wonderful noise it makes.  This is my first convertible and it has been lots of fun for our entire family and my daughter absolutely loves doing the parades.

I joined the MOB about a year or so ago and have enjoyed getting to know folks, participating in shows and just eating meals and talking Mustangs.
